Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Daddy said you get one chance in life

Daddy said you get one chance in life

[Verse 2]

Let me start it by telling you something

I think there's one thing you should know

We ain't playin' no games, this ain't no playground

It's time to drop your sticks and stones

[Verse 3]

'Cause I've been chasin' dreams since I took my first sleep

And I'm gon' be lil' bo so contemplate if you the sheep

And we gon' make a humble pie so egos cut a slice

And take a piece, hey

[Verse 4]

So you see, there's no point in underestimatin' me

Lock up all your thoughts and throw away the key

No, I don't wanna hear it 'cause ya

No, it doesn't bother me

[Verse 5]

Now I'm done with all your negativity

And I'm gonna let it wash all over me

I'll be stronger than your words, baby, I'm harder

My smile lights up the world, I'm flyin' higher

[Verse 6]

So stand down, back it up now

Stand down, back it up, back it up-up now

Stand down, back it up now

Stand down, back it up, back it up-up now

[Verse 7]

Daddy said you get one chance in life

Daddy said you get one chance in life

[Verse 8]

Come a little bit closer, let me tell you

About a girl you used to know

She ain't waitin' for luck, no wishful thinker

She's gonna do it on her own

[Verse 9]

So you see, there's no point in underestimatin' me

Lock up all your thoughts and throw away the key

No, I don't wanna hear it 'cause ya

No, it doesn't bother me

[Verse 10]

Now I'm done with all your negativity

And I'm gonna let it wash all over me

I'll be stronger than your words, baby, I'm harder

My smile lights up the world, I'm flyin' higher

[Verse 11]

So stand down, back it up now

Stand down, back it up, back it up-up now

Stand down, back it up now

Stand down, back it up, back it up-up now (L-ladies, let's break it down)

[Verse 12]

I'm just gonna do me, I'ma do this right, right

You got nothin' on me, you're just wastin' your time, time

Take a listed to me, 'cause I'ma tell you tonight

Oh, whoa, whoa

[Verse 13]

Now I'm done with all your negativity

And I'm gonna let it wash all over me

I'll be stronger than your words, baby, I'm harder

My smile lights up the world, I'm flyin' higher

[Verse 14]

So stand down, back it up now

Stand down, back it up, back it up-up now

Stand down, back it up now

Stand down, back it up, back it up-up now
