I thought that I could do it my way
But every one around me has got something to say
And I'm tired of listening trying to play the game, the game
I feel so disconnected
Trying to do what they expectin
Why are they so invested
Maybe it's just them projectin
But they don't know me
Like I know me
Who said I gotta fit into a box
Who said I gotta do what you want
I hear a lot of words a lot of talk
Blah blah blah yeah I'll take it with a grain of salt
Who said I gotta fit into a box
Who said I gotta do what you want
I hear a lot of words a lot of talk
Blah blah blah yeah I'll take it with a grain of salt
I know that you're just trying to help me
But what you're doing really isn't helping
All these opinions I hear overwhelm me, yeah
You give me your two cents but this investment's more expensive
Where's your experience? Guess imma use my common sense cuz
You don't know me like I know me, yeah
Who said I gotta fit into a box
Who said I gotta do what you want
I hear a lot of words a lot of talk
Blah blah blah yeah I'll take it with a grain of salt
Listen, I got something to say yeah something to get off my chest
Cuz every time I open up my mouth to speak they
Interrupt to tell me what to do next but
I don't want to hear I don't want to know
What you think or how you feel or anything at all
I wanna do me, think and live freely thanks for your time
But step aside it's a "no" for me
All I really want to do is sing but every time that I do it
Brings up strangers saying how to act
"Be more of this and less of that"
Trust me I hear everything that they're saying
But I won't just fake it and do it their way
Who said I gotta fit into a box
Who said I gotta do what you want
I hear a lot of words a lot of talk
Blah blah blah yeah I'll take it with a grain of salt
I'm going to take it with a grain of salt
