Dammit Janet

You want me to be happy? You want me to grow?
You want me to change? but you dont know
What you do to me when you get that way
It gets to my mind. It dont feel ok, no. It dont feel right
I dont need permission to live the life ive been given
Im not here to play no victim, step up to plates and i hit em
knock em out the park, im talkin these bases, im always comin home
But all them statements you make to tell me im not alone?
Who am i Mike Jack? Tell me im B.A.D
Tell me im not the nigga you love and come to see
Then why you fuck wit me if i aint comfort or luxury
You bitchin at me for shit im tryin to change, you rushin me

I need to live my life, you say you wanna be my wife
We see that things aint right but you wont let me succeed
If we can get this right, to just converse without a fight
Express our anger without spite, then we can be

You hurry me, it angers me like why you frustratin me
You sayin that you there for me but treat me like you hatin me
Slaving me, chaining me, aint gone bring no positive change to me
Maybe'ly trustin me
Wonderin how you ever gonna think you gone play wit me art
Like me heart, aint a part, of me therapy
I see that you care for me but understand barely
That what i need and you need are in 2 different areas
I dont need you to sit here and shit on my character
Poof. you're gonna send my soul to hysteria
Been doin all i can to try to break down the barriers
I do nothing nefarious, treat my heart like a terrorist
Cut it off and then share it wit "Good Morning America"
You bombarded the hopes of the strong-hearted
Now we cope wit the long arm of the love you give, all partial
I now know the meaning of unconditional love
I lost my voice screaming at you, i need to express this right

I need to live my life, you say you wanna be my wife
We see that things ain't right but you wont let me succeed
If we can get this right, to just converse without a fight
Express our anger without spite, then we can be

I need to live like the water needs to run (flow)
I need to give like the earth need the sun (glow)
I need to breathe like trees need the wind (blow)
I need to sin like the joker needs to grin (woa)
When i feel emotion i do my best to get it up out my mind
Express the intention to reach in and find
The problem at its source, digging deep of course
In the dark without a torch, i bring the fire and the horse
You sayin im abusive, so what you fightin so hard for
Im just tryin to teach but you hate the fact that im hardcore
Im parkour lyrically, jumpin thru all your loops
Finding every hole, in everything you dispute
And you hate that i challenge but only when i feel its wrong
I admit when you're right, i acknowledge and move along
But everything can't go your way and that's just not life
I understand balance comes with a price

You say you love me girl i hope you shout it
I hope you know that im bout it bout it
If there's a problem would you help me solve it
Just to show me that you 100
Anything girl you know i got it
I love you girl ima fuckin shout it
All it takes is a phone call
Just to show me you gone hold on

I need to live like the water needs to run (flow)
I need to give like the earth need the sun (glow)
I need to breathe like trees need the wind (blow)
I need to sin like the joker needs to grin (woa)
