I Live the Way I Want to Live

It's been like that since I was 11
I should be able to make my own decisions
I'm just glad that I got a vision
I don't need permission to do
So they should have back off because they know it's true
I'm grateful that God gave me a gift
I live the way I want to live

They can say what they want, it's just that I don't care
I was here before you fair and square All the fame
All the girls, all of those things is what makes my world
They don't seem to think the struggle is real
I do what I want, so what's the big deal
And no matter what, I still do what's right
This is my time, so shine the light

It's been like that since I was 11
I should be able to make my own decisions
I'm just glad that I got a vision
I don't need permission to do
So they should have back off because they know it's true
I'm grateful that God gave me a gift
I live the way I want to live

Everything they say about me is just wrong
And yet I have the power to always stay strong
Getting into trouble is not my thing
I don't want to put myself into gangs
There are people that want to throw down
But all I want to do is dance around
And no matter what, I still do what's right
This is my time, so shine the light

It's been like that since I was 11
I should be able to make my own decisions
I'm just glad that I got a vision
I don't need permission to do
So they should have back off because they know it's true
I'm grateful that God gave me a gift
I live the way I want to live

What is wrong with having money in my pocket?
Everything I say, haters always got to mock it
Haters are haters, and they think they're slick
They're the ones that make this world a trip
Why can't I do what I want to do?
Didn't I do everything for you?
And no matter what, I still do what's right
This is my time, so shine the light

It's been like that since I was 11
I should be able to make my own decisions
I'm just glad that I got a vision
I don't need permission to do
So they should have back off because they know it's true
I'm grateful that God gave me a gift
I live the way I want to live

It's been like that since I was 11
I should be able to make my own decisions
I'm just glad that I got a vision
I don't need permission to do
So they should have back off because they know it's true
I'm grateful that God gave me a gift
I live the way I want to live
