lyrics

*Verse 1*
Why do you always try so hard, to stamp out all my soul
To keep applying pressure, to put my dreams on hold
You tell me I should shut up and just do as I am told
You try to break me down and make me rise up in your mold
You try to tear down all my walls but I don’t think I’ll let ya
You but your heat on me but I don’t think I’ll sweat ya
Deep inside yourself you wish that you were me I bet ya
I think it would be best of me to just try and forget ya

*Chorus*
I might not know just where I’m going
I can’t recall just where I’ve been
But I’m gon’ keep doing things my way
Until those Saints come marchin’ in

*Verse 2*
Just because you didn’t make it doesn’t mean I won’t
And just because I couldn’t fake it, doesn’t mean you don’t
You’re lying through your teeth but you are lying to yourself
Keep your generosity ‘cause I don’t need your help
Keep your ingenuity I’ll be just fine without it
You may wake up and change one day but I sure kinda doubt it
So find something better to do than raining down my back
Its not my fault you can’t do well I guess you just can’t hack

*Chorus*

*Breakdown*
Do you make your own luck or does your luck make you?
You can work so hard but where will it take you
You want a bigger piece of pie but wanna have your cake you
Are you gonna catch a break or let the pressure break you?
Force you to be a fake you, until you hate you
If I let ‘em guide my life then I can share that fate too
But that I can’t do, no, I’ve gotta be me
Won’t stop that low, won’t plant that seed
Won’t dig in your dirt, my hands stay clean
Blaze my own damn path, won’t follow no lead
Won’t succumb to no greed, won’t beg, won’t plead
Eventually I’ll be just where I’m trying to be
I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees
Won’t let this small town scene kill my big city dreams
Yes one day soon I’ma do as I please
And I’ma do it ‘til the saints march through New Orleans

*Chorus*
