[Intro]
Motherf**er, you don't own me.
[Verse 1]
You can't please everyone so listen up and understand,
I make music for me and for the people who love it.
I don't need permission from you,
And I damn sure ain't your f**ing puppet.
All I hear is "Walk this way,
And talk this way, do it just how I say".
I won't be criticized for the man I am,
A word of advice: start your own band.
[Chorus]
I say what I mean, I mean what I say,
Like the words of a king.
From the bottom on the grind to the top,
You think I'm sorry, I'm not.
I say what I mean, I mean what I say,
Like the words of a king.
From the bottom on the grind to the top,
So if you're with me,
I'll give you all I've got.
[Verse 2]
Oh yeah, I see you looking at me,
And I can see your mouth moving but I'm not listening.
You ain't got nothing better to do,
Than talk sh** about who's who from what you've seen on YouTube.
All the sh** it took me to get here,
You couldn't hang with me if you wanted to.
I won't be criticized for the man I am,
A word of advice: start your own band.
[Bridge]
I'ma do what I want,
And I'll do it the way I want.
I'ma sing what I want,
And I'll sing it the way I want.
I'ma do what I want (what I want),
And I'll do it the way I want.
I don't need permission from you,
Who the f** do you think you are?
[Chorus]
I say what I mean, I mean what I say,
Like the words of a king.
From the bottom on the grind to the top,
You think I'm sorry, I'm not.
I say what I mean, I mean what I say,
Like the words of a king.
So true fans put your hands up, stand up,
And scream it with me.
[Breakdown]
Motherf**er, you don't own me,
And I don't owe you a god damn thing.
[Outro]
I say what I mean, I mean what I say,
Like the words of a king.
From the bottom on the grind to the top,
You think I'm sorry, I'm not.
I say what I mean, I mean what I say,
Not the words of a king.
From the bottom on the grind to the top,
So if you're with me,
I'll give you all I've got.
