Promise

Even though it don't always come easy
There's a voice in my head
Even though it don't always come easy

And I promise myself
You can try to bend
Telling me I know my right from wrong
They, they say what doesn't kill you

I will, I'm on, I won't
And I promise myself
So don't hold me down 'cause I'm gonna fly
Promise myself
I'm the only one who will believe me
And I promise myself

I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free
Gonna learn from my pain, never explain
And I promise myself
Can make you strong, now I know what it means
'Cause you're holding me down, I just wanna fly
I'll be tumbling down but like MC shake it off
And the time is come and I gotta say goodbye
That I'm gonna miss

But you ain't breaking my dreams
I'm gonna do my own thing, yeah, I'm flying solo
Gonna learn from my pain, never explain
There's a voice in my head

Even though it don't always come easy

Here's where I begin
I'll keep doing what I gotta do to carry on
So don't tell me how it's gonna be
Telling me come on, come on, move on
I'm the only one who will believe me
Even though it don't always come easy

To the life that you see me in
And there comes a time when I gotta say goodbye

I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free
I'll keep moving even when the beat is gone
I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free

I'm the only one who will believe me

Do it my way, that's what I say
Gonna learn from my pain, never explain
Of me and myself and I

Do it my way, that's what I say
On my own and the thing of it is
What you think about this?
There's nothing 'round here
Promise myself
Gonna learn from my pain, never explain
Here's where I begin
And I promise myself
Promise myself
I won't, I will, I'm on
Do it my way, that's what I say
Promise myself
And I promise myself
Do it my way, that's what I say
I'll stay cool 'cause I know who's boss
And I promise myself

And I promise myself
I'll be making mistakes, coming up at a loss

I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free
To the life that you see me in
