[Intro]
I don't need approval from nobody but my own damn self
My own damn self
These days
These days, these days
[Verse 1]
I gotta watch my back
Gotta protect my soul
People gotta peep this glow
That's one thing that I know
Take them seeds, then sow
Sip slow, then I grow
Played that background til' I had to catch up with the bros
Woah, no
I couldn't get held back forever
Controller was not in the system, but now it's connected
I got a lil' better
I got a lil' older, got a lil' wiser
But that shit took me a while
My people still sleeping, they do not understand
I'm no longer a child
It took me some miles, but nigga, I caught up
Had to take the time to put things in order
Broke out the hinges like you was in Florida
Got a little wild so people could notice
Notice this, notice me
Thelonious mode with piano keys
The way that I play my position
No note wasted in this composition
Listen
[Chorus]
I do not see no competition but the man in the mirror, mirror
Got his face glow from years ago
No, I do not got no fear
This is for all of the times when I felt left out
It made me tear up
Now I got my shit intact
And told my complaints they had to clear out
[Hook]
These days
I don't need approval from nobody but my own damn self
My own damn self
Ole
These days I don't really care if I got in this by myself
By myself
[Bridge]
Okay, the highway
Got the high waves and the weed out
It's a high way, am I high now
I'm on that lightly
Okay, the highway
Got the high waves and the weed out
It's a high way, am I high now
I'm on that lightly
[Verse 2]
She's moving silent, so I'm walking lightly
Paid that performant to cover the flying
Getting accustomed to driving
1.21 gigawatts, energy rising
I elevated from the quarter sack
I told my momma ain't no coming back
For all the light to turn back around
Gotta go and make my poppa proud
[Chorus]
I do not see no competition but the man in the mirror, mirror
Got his face glow from years ago
No, I do not got no fear
This is for all of the times when I felt left out
It made me tear up
Now I got my shit intact
And told my complaints they had to clear out
[Hook]
These days
I don't need approval from nobody but my own damn self
My own damn self
Ole
These days I don't really care if I got in this by myself
By myself
Okay
I don't need approval from nobody but my own damn self
My own damn self
Ole
These days I don't really care if I got in this by myself
By myself
Okay
