That everyone's like me (Like hell, like hell)

Everybody wanna be somebody
'til they grab a shotty just to blow up
How you gonna get a perfect body
but then fuck up the head on your shoulders?
Like, luckily can't fuck with me
'cause I'm in a league by myself
And luckily can't fuck with me
'cause I'm gonna win by myself
This is what I said, I wanna get ahead
but can't hold the weight on my shoulders
Hanging by a thread while wishing
I was dead but still live my life like a soldier
Luckily can't fuck with me 'cause I'm in a league by myself
And luckily can't fuck with me
'cause I'm gonna win by myself

Say what you wanted to, say what you needed
But I don't hear your message
I don't need your lessons (Oh)
I'm not joining your fight
Take what you wanted to, take what you needed
But I don't hear your message
I don't need your lessons (Oh)
I'm not joining your fight

Every boy and girl born into this world
I'ma do better I promise
Making sure I leave something
to believe in for the young gods and goddesses
Luckily, y'all will see, I didn't win for myself
And luckily, y'all can live in heaven when we go to hell
Learn that everything isn't what it seems
Truth it can hurt but it's honest
History repeats, you will meet defeat
try to stay humble and modest
Luckily, y'all will see, I didn't win for myself
And luckily, y'all can live in heaven when we go to hell

Say what you wanted to, say what you needed
But I don't hear your message

Take what you wanted to, take what you needed
But I don't hear your message (Oh)
I don't need your lessons
I'm not joining your fight

We built our future by burning down our past
We built our future by burning down our past
We built our future by burning down our past
We built our future that
We built our future that
We built our future that, that's built to last

Say what you wanted to, say what you needed
But I don't hear your message
I don't need your lessons (Oh)

Take what you wanted to, take what you needed
But I don't hear your message
