Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Gotta get those good grades and stay in line
Then you go to college and switch your major three times
That’s the way they say we all should fallow
But High school wasn’t kind to me
I barely passed so what’s that mean for me
I guess I’ll have to wait and someday I’ll know
(Pre-Chorus)
But I don’t wanna do the average life
Working a nine to five just to be alright
I’m gonna do what I think is right for me
Imma do me
(Chorus)
Because they push the daily grind
And they call it being wise
But when you look at them you see the misery in their eyes
So I’m gonna live me life doing what I think is right
And if I fail you could say at least I tried
(Verse 2)
They say conformity is key
But see that don’t work for me
I’m gonna create my own path
And watch my life unfold
(Pre-Chorus)
Because I don’t wanna do the average life
Working nine to five just to be alright
I’m gonna do what I think is right for me
Imma do me
(Chorus)
Because they push the daily grind
And they call it being wise
But when you look at them you see the misery in their eyes
So I’m gonna live me life doing what I think is right
And if I fail you could say at least I tried
(Bridge)
See you think you know what’s best for me
But I don’t want the life that you have
You say that at least I should try
But I don’t wanna wast my time waste my time anymore
(Chorus)
Because they push the daily grind
And they call it being wise
But when you look at them you see the misery in their eyes
So I’m gonna live me life doing what I think is right
And if I fail you could say at least I tried
