Lyrics

WHAT?S BEST FOR ME?

VERSE 1
I KNOW WHAT?S BEST FOR ME, I MAKE MY OWN MONEY
CAN?T GET THE BEST OF ME, I NEVER LET ANYONE STEP ON ME
DON?T NEED NOBODY ELSE, I CAN?T TAKE CARE OF MYSELF
BEEN TRYIN? HARD TO BE, THE ME THAT I WANNA BE ALL BY ME
WISH THINGS WERE LIKE THEY WERE BEFORE
I HEAR TROUBLE KNOCKING ON MY DOOR
I REFUSE TO SEE THE PAST
BUT NOW IT?S COME TO KICK MY ASS
AND I?M TRYIN? TO MAKE THESE TWO ENDS MEET
CAN?T BELIEVE MY FUTURE?S UP TO ME
KNOW THIS CHANCE I HAVE TO TAKE IS JUST MY CLAIM I HAVE TO STAKE

CHORUS
AND I STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE, THE CHAOS IN MY LIFE
MISS DADDY, WANT MOMMY, TO MAKE MY MIND UP FOR ME
THOUGHT I KNEW EVERYTHING, I WAS FOREVER SAYING

VERSE 2
I KNOW WHAT?S BEST FOR ME, I MAKE MY OWN MONEY
CAN?T GET THE BEST OF ME, I NEVER LET ANYONE STEP ON ME
DON?T NEED NOBODY ELSE, I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF
BEEN TRYIN? HARD TO BE THE ME
THAT I WANNA BE ALL BY ME
IT GETS HARDER TO CONTROLL MY FATE
KNOW THERE ISN?T TIME TO HESITATE
SO I JUMP IN HEAD FIRST AND HEADSTRONG
LET LIFE JUST CARRY ME ALONG

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
THAT I MARCH TO MY OWN DRUM
I?M NOT FOOLIN? ANYONE
BUT MYSELF
