[Gregory Kemmis:]
[Verse 1:]
How is it possible today that once upon a time,
I was tricked into believing, in the first place
My own problems are not the same
As what is meant to be in the first place, (oh trust me).
Too many people in the first place, believe they belong in only one place of life
And they don't even understand that, there is something called "advancement of their times"
(Vocalization)
I was ashamed to say that I was just like them,
Just one of them at one time or another,
Until I discovered that there was no second chances
And no rapid advances, to where I need to go to
Ooh, I had to do it on my own today;
It doesn't matter who put me down,
It doesn't matter who punched me to the ground,
I never understood this anyway.
[Verse 2:]
So I gave them all my power and I always felt sour,
Afterwards reminding myself that they had the power over me, until I set myself free
Until I set myself free and gave myself the power back into my life, and had equality.
In my own mind, I never understood the fact of reality.
It never went anywhere, anywhere in the world
But every day in my life mattered to me!
It always mattered to me, (it always mattered to me)
Until I took a breath, and breathed inside
And let my sense of pride leave
My stress inside myself and everybody around me.
[Chorus:]
Who are you to tell me who I can be?
Oh, who are you to tell me what I need to be?
Who are you to tell me what I cannot do,
What I cannot say because you don't want me to?
(Vocalization)
Who are you to tell me?
[Verse 3:]
As the shadows of my past grew further towards me,
I didn't understand what I needed to do to avoid them always
Until I looked at myself in the mirror
And it became, oh so clear to me
I had the strength all within me.
I just forgot how to use it all along,
I never knew where I belong,
And now I know it's all too much for me to believe.
[Chorus:]
Who are you to tell me who I cannot be, in the first place?
Who are you to tell me what I cannot do, just because you don't want me to?
Ooh, it's not your life, and should why you control me?
Why should you tell me what you approve of?
It doesn't matter anymore.
Who are you to tell me?
Who are you to tell me what to do, when I go forward?
If I go backwards in my life, I will just survive
And I don't even care if it costs my demise,
Because, who are you to tell me what I can do all my life, (ooh)?
[Verse 4:]
Struggles are real in my life
And it doesn't even matter anymore, sometimes.
But, only the way to survive,
Go through it, and it will only make more determined in the first place, (yeah).
Cause it doesn't matter to me,
Except who I motivate to survive, in the end.
Oh, I have a purpose to begin with
And it will never end, until I am leaving this Earth, (oh yeah).
(Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah.)
[Chorus:]
So who are you to tell me, who I can be tonight?
Who are you to tell me, what I can do with my life (oh yeah)?
Because you never mattered to me,
You never wanted me to be the person tonight.
You never wanted to see me fail or even survive,
So who are you to tell me, (who are you tell me)
What I should push, because all you want to do is control me.
I won't give you that pleasure anymore, (no, no, no, no, no).
Who are you to tell me, what I need to do?
And how I need to do it to survive?
Who are you to tell me, because it is my own life, you see?
Maybe you'll never see it anytime soon,
But who are you to tell me
What I can or cannot do, all this time too?
Well, I truly feel sorry for you.
