Story Behind The Song
Have you ever looked into a mirror and didn't like what was looking back at you? It's not that your ugly or anything like that, it's what's behind your face and inside your soul which is what I'm talking about. Are you happy with who you are, or where you are at this present stage of your life? Deep and personal questions I've asked myself for a few years now, and questions we all should ask ourselves once in a while. If you have a dream, or ambition you should go for it with no regrets. Stop listening to those who say it can't be done, or those who are all negative about success. It's highly unlikely success will drop onto your lap, so what have you got to lose by pursuing your goals? If you're not satisfied with the way your life is moving, the only one who can change tracks is you...and that is what I'm doing. That is why I wrote "How it's going to be". I'm going to live my life the way I see. Go ahead make a change, make a move and live it out with no regrets.
Song Description
About not being satisfied with your life, wanting a change. Choices that you've made and choices that you will make...it's all about taking control and doing what you want to do, without judgement taken into consideration from others.

Lyrics
How It's Going To Be
Look in the mirror sometimes I don't like what I see
Sometimes I feel anger
Sometimes I feel I'm wasting away
I need a change and I'm the only one who can make that change
Don't tell me how
Chorus
How it's going to be
I'm gonna live my life the way I see
Just don't tell me how
How it's going to be
I'm getting tired being robotic everyday
To make ends meet where they don't appreciate you
I've got to get away
Away from the negative air eminating from this place
Don't tell me how
Chorus
Don't tell me
Here I am
Silence sitting with me and I think to myself
The whole world's out there
Step from the crowd and make my move
Let me tell you how
Chorus
How it's going to be
I'm gonna live my life the way I see
You may not agree but that won't stop me
Don't tell me how it's going to be
I'm gonna live my life the way I see
Just don't tell me how
How it's going to be
Don't tell me how
