Imperative

I'm trying to make decisions for myself

But it's pretty clear with all of these contradictions

Avoiding all the evidence

Restrictions and negativity

I gotta keep, trying to keep my head straight

'Cause gossiping rumors never can be productive

Just trying to keep my head clear

Keeping my head straight

Don't wanna be caught up in this contention

Just trying to make some logical decisions

'Cause everything right now is so imperative

What I do, what I say, choices that I make

Don't wanna be held up in all this drama

'Cause all this shit is negative karma

'Cause everything right now is so imperative

The past's the past, and now my situation

Is proving my point of view right now is different

It's got a definition

Embracing my intuition

Now is the time to make those hurtful choices

The ones at the end of the day my future won't miss

But right now it's tearing me

Tearing me apart

Don't wanna be held up in this contention

Just trying to make some logical decisions

'Cause everything right now is so imperative

What I do, what I say, choices that I make

Don't wanna be held up in all this drama

'Cause all this shit is negative karma

'Cause everything right now is so imperative

Confusing, so many different paths I take

All depend on the choices I make

I don't wanna be wrong

I wanna be strong

Do this right, do this right, yeah

Oh, don't wanna be held up in this contention

Just trying to make some logical decisions

'Cause everything right now is so imperative

What I do, what I say, choices that I make

Don't wanna be held up in all this drama

'Cause all this shit is negative karma

'Cause everything, 'cause everything

You say, only pain, yeah

Oh, don't wanna be, yeah

I don't, don't wanna

'Cause that's just the way it's gotta be, yeah

That's me, that's me, yeah

I gotta do me

'Cause I don't, I don't, no, no, no

'Cause that is me

All the choices I make, the choices I make

Are mine, the choices I make, yeah

Oh, I don't, yeah

I gotta be, I gotta be me

I gotta be, I gotta be me

I gotta be, I gotta be

I gotta be me

If I don't do me, where would I be?

I gotta be me

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Thank you for letting me be me
