If I Can't Do It the Way I Want, Then I Don't Want to Do It at All
I guess I'm lucky that I'm starting where I am
I'll be ok if I'm not rigid with a plan
I'll be ok if I don't listen to a man
Because I've learned what matters
God know that we're all taught that the
Epitome
Of humanity
Looks like youth, and fame, and money
But you come to find
That you can make a life
Just outside the lines
And still be satisfied
If I can't do it the way I want, then I don't want to do it all
I guess I'm lucky I got people in my life
I know they they love me even when I'm not alright
They love me when I'm not productive like I'd like
They let me know that matters
God knows we're taught that worthiness
And happiness
Is based on our success
And there's just one way to get it
But you come to find
That you can make a life
Just outside the lines
And still be satisfied
If I can't do it the way I want, then I don't want to do it all
Somebody once sat me down and said I was being lazy
'Cause I spent a Friday night at home with my baby
That mentality
It used to work on me, well
It hasn't been working on me lately
If I can't do it the way I want, then I don't want to do it all
I'll be ok if I'm not rigid with a plan
I'll be ok if I don't listen to a man
Because I've learned what matters
God know that we're all taught that the
Epitome
Of humanity
Looks like youth, and fame, and money
But you come to find
That you can make a life
Just outside the lines
And still be satisfied
If I can't do it the way I want, then I don't want to do it all
I guess I'm lucky I got people in my life
I know they they love me even when I'm not alright
They love me when I'm not productive like I'd like
They let me know that matters
God knows we're taught that worthiness
And happiness
Is based on our success
And there's just one way to get it
But you come to find
That you can make a life
Just outside the lines
And still be satisfied
If I can't do it the way I want, then I don't want to do it all
Somebody once sat me down and said I was being lazy
'Cause I spent a Friday night at home with my baby
That mentality
It used to work on me, well
It hasn't been working on me lately
If I can't do it the way I want, then I don't want to do it all
