Gonna do my own thing, yeah, I'm flyin' solo, so Don't tell me how it's gonna be On my own, and the thing of it is There's nothin' 'round here that I'm gonna miss [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause you're holdin' me down, I just wanna fly Yeah, there comes a time When I gotta say goodbye to the life that you see me in Here's where I begin [Chorus] And I promise myself, I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free And I promise myself, even though it don't always come easy Gonna learn from my pain, never explain Do it my way, that's what I say Promise myself, I'm the only one who will believe me [Verse 2] There's a voice in my head Tellin' me, "C'mon, c'mon, move on" There's a voice in my head Tellin' me, "I know my right from wrong" They, they say what doesn't kill you can make you strong Now I know what it means You can try to bend, but you ain't breakin' my dreams [Pre-Chorus] I'll be makin' mistakes Comin' up at a loss I'll be tumblin' down, but like MC, shake it off I'll stay cool, 'cause I know who's boss of me, myself and I [Chorus] And I promise myself, I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free And I promise myself, even though it don't always come easy Gonna learn from my pain, never explain Do it my way, that's what I say Promise myself, I'm the only one who will believe me [Bridge] I'll keep movin', even when the beat is gone I will, I'm on, I want I'll keep doin' what I gotta do to carry on And on, I will, I'm on [Pre-Chorus] So don't hold me down, 'cause I'm gonna fly Yeah, the time has come And I gotta say goodbye to the life that you see me in Here's where I begin [Chorus] And I promise myself, I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free And I promise myself, even though it don't always come easy Gonna learn from my pain, never explain Do it my way, that's what I say Promise myself, I'm the only one who will believe me And I promise myself, I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free And I promise myself, even though it don't always come easy Gonna learn from my pain, never explain Do it my way, that's what I say Promise myself, I'm the only one who can complete me, yeah, yeah
