My Way Old Version
Ivan B
[Chorus]
I'ma do it my way
My way, my way-ay-ay
I'ma do it my way
My way, my way, bae, yeah
I'ma do it my way
My way, my way, ay, yeah
And you might never like that, no
And you might never like that, no
(Yeah) I'ma do it my way

[Verse 1]
I tried to be a lot of things
"Real" wasn't one of them
Labels reaching out, told em listen'
I can't be one of them
My girl always sayin' she missin' me
I know spendin' time is always important
You 'bouta hit school, I'm 'bouta be tourin'
Our pillows still wet to the touch in the mornin'
No wonder it feels like I'm drownin'
The brightest days are not what they seem
Every day is sunny California; feels like it's pourin' to me
Pourin' my feelings, you're pourin' a drink
Tellin' me you never feel what I'm sayin'
Like things that I'm makin' just ain't gonna make it
Like kids don't want music that tells them they're breakin'
Like make it about all the pills they've been takin'
I don't believe in that, no
I don't believe in the hype—that no one got nowhere to go
I don't believe you can dig yourself out if you're diggin' a hole
Weighin' me down, all the fears that I hold
People I know always say where to go but I never been want to just do what I'm told
[Bridge]
Maybe I don't know what I need
Maybe I'm not really okay
I've been out here doin' just me

[Chorus]
'Cause I'ma do it my way
My way, my way-ay-ay
I'ma do it my way
My way, my way, ay, yeah
I'ma do it my way
My way, my way, ay, yeah
And you might never like that, no
And you might never like that, no
I'ma do it my way

[Verse 2]
Some people told me I'd never fit in
But that's the point, man, don't you get it?
Same people just never listen—but wore my hoodies when it benefited
Feelin' lost everywhere I go; familiar faces I don't even know
Livin' life tryna find a home
They want a hit? Okay, here you go
They throwin' rocks and I treasured it
So many diamonds I made that was out of it
Every teacher always told me I'm out of it
Saw that apple, I ate it—was adamant
Never prayed, I thought, "Why would You answer it?"
Sin will always feel good when you glance at it
'Til you look at your life and it's cancerous
I didn't care, so I got worse
Started to curse, thought it would work
Wasn't myself, but defining my worth
Hated myself for pretending at church
Hated my life, and you know what I learned?
I cared about the things that never cared about me—why would they care if I'm hurt?
[Bridge]
I don't care what they gotta tell me
I don't care what you gotta say
All I need is my Heavenly Father
Maybe one day I can be okay
Maybe one day I'ma be okay
Livin' my life, only thing I can tell you is—

[Chorus]
I'ma do it my way
My way, my way-ay-ay
I'ma do it my way
I'ma do it my way, my way
My way, ay, yeah
(I'ma do this today)
I'ma do it my way
My way, my way, ay, yeah
(I'ma do it my way) I'ma do it my way
And you might never like that, no (I'ma do it my way)
I'ma do it my way

[Outro]
Don't tell me how to live life
Who's to say how to live right?
So I'ma do it my way, I'ma do it my way
