Lyrics

Said I'm gone close my eyes Said I'm gone live my life Despite what you think Im'a be free 'cause Im'a be me, yeah Said I'm gone close my eyes Said I'm gone live my life Despite what you think Im'a be free 'cause Im'a be me Yeah! See I ain't never think I would have a situation where the people around me just envy I must replace them See I always thought the people that watch me grow Would want to see me blow fa'sho but little did I know They ain't never really wanna see me smiling. They couldn't take the fact that I was really shining And in my heart I knew they was wishing I was stop Cause they don't me to rise and be on top. And all that jealousy and hate Can be right in front of your face And it's gone hurt for you to see But it ain't your fault just let it be So I'm gone close my eyes And I'm gone live my life Despite what you think Im'a be free cause Im'a be me, yeah So I'm gone close my eyes And I'm gone live my life Despite what you think Im'a be free cause Im'a be me, yeah See everybody wanna have something to talk about So they pointing their fingers and always running their mouths. No matter how you try to satisfy someone else giving so much of yourself yo love but it's never enough. The more you give them the more want they ain't happy And they don't see all you do to make 'em happy They don't appreciate it till you walk away But you don't want to hear by now it's too late. And all that jealousy and hate Can be right in front of your face And it's gone hurt for you to see But it ain't your fault just let it be. So I'm gone close my eyes And I'm gone live my life Despite what you think Im'a be free cause Im'a be me, yeah Said I'm gone close my eyes And I'm gone live my life Despite what you think Im'a be free cause Im'a be me, yeah What they don't understand is that Im'a keep livin my life and surviving Im'a keep pushing and striving and climbing and grinding Cause ain't no time to be crying I been providing with the strength to carry my way And Im'a be ok cause I'm gone live my life my way And you can say what you wanna say it wont affect the way I'm living I'm winning by being free again So I'm gone close my eyes And I'm gone live my life Despite what you think Im'a be free cause Im'a be me. Said I'm gone close my eyes And I'm gone live my life Despite what you think Im'a be free cause Im'a be me. Yeah Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Cause it's my life, my life My life Yeah, Yeah
