Lyrics

So I'm gon' close my eyes
And I'm gon' live my life
Despite what you think
I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me
Said I'm gon' close my eyes
And I'm gon' live my life
Despite what you think
I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me
See I ain't ever think that I would have a situation
Where the people around me just envy, I must replace 'em
See I always thought the people that watched me grow
Would wanna see me blow for sure
But little did I know
They ain't ever really wanna see me smiling
They couldn't take the fact that I was really shining
And in my heart I know they wishing I would stop
'Cause they don't want me to rise and be on top
And all that jealousy and hate
Could be right in front of your face
And it's gon' hurt for you to see
But it ain't your fault, just let it be
So I'm gon' close my eyes
And I'm gon' live my life
Despite what you think
I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me, yeah
Said I'm gon' close my eyes
And I'm gon' live my life
Despite what you think
I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me
See everybody wanna have something to talk about
So they pointing they fingers and always running they mouth
No matter how you try to satisfy someone else
Giving so much of yourself, your love, but it's never enough
The more you give, the more they want and they ain't happy
And they don't see all that you do to make 'em happy
They don't appreciate it 'til you walk away
But you don't wanna hear it by now, it's too late
And all that jealousy and hate
Could be right in front of your face
And it's gon' hurt for you to see
But it ain't your fault, just let it be
So I'm gon' close my eyes
And I'm gon' live my life
Despite what you think
I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me, yeah
Said I'm gon' close my eyes
And I'm gon' live my life
Despite what you think
I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me
What they don't understand is that
I'ma keep living my life and surviving
And I'ma keep pushing and striving and climbing and grinding
'Cause ain't no time to be crying
I've been provided with the strength to carry my way (Carry my way)
And I'ma be okay (I'ma be okay)
I'ma live my life my way
You can say what you want to say
It won't affect the way I'm living
I'm winning by being free again, yeah
So I'm gon' close my eyes
And I'm gon' live my life
Despite what you think
I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me, yeah
Said I'm gon' close my eyes
And I'm gon' live my life
Despite what you think
I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause it's my life, my life
My life, my life, my life
Yeah, yeah
