When I think of all the times that I've been told That I'm never gonna be something I hoped Cuz you're too this, you're too that, nip this, tuck that No thanks, I like my soul naturale Welcome to the speed of light Opinions change overnight Last one sitting on the bench Waiting for who, what, and when Like why won't no one pick me for their side? When I think of all the times that I've been told That I'm never gonna reach that dream or goal You can't make it, just change this, can't feel it, then fake it No thanks, I keep my soul naturale Hold on tight, breathe in deep Fever's high, plant your feet All the times that I've been hurt Folks forget the power of words No one can protect you all your life When I think of all the times my soul's been saved God bless closed doors and my mistakes But I made it, no changes, belated, liberated And I'm not the type to say I told you so No, I'm not the type to say I told you so
