What you think about this? 
I been holding it in now I'm letting it flow 
What you think about this? 
I'm gonna do my own thing yeah I'm flying solo so 
Don't tell me how its gonna be 
On my own 
And the thing of it is 
There's nothing round here that I'm gonna miss 
Cause you're holding me down 
I just wanna fly 
There comes a time when I gotta say goodbye 
To the life that you see me in 
Here's where I begin 

And I promise myself 
I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free 
And I promise myself 
Even though it don't always come easy 
Gonna learn from my pain 
Never explain 
Do it my way, that's what I say 
Promise myself 
I'm the only one who will believe me 

There's a voice in my head 
Telling me come on, come on, move on 
There's a voice in my head 
Telling me I know my right from wrong 
They say what doesn't kill you can 
Make you strong 
Now I know what it means 
You can try to bend but you ain't breakin my dreams 
I'll be making mistakes 
Comin up at a loss 
I'll be tumbling down 
But Like MC shake it off 
I'll stay cool cause I know who's boss 
Of me, myself, and I 

And I promise myself 
I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free 
And I promise myself 
Even though it don't always come easy 
Gonna learn from my pain 
Never explain 
Do it my way, that's what I say 
Promise myself 
I'm the only one who will believe me 

I'll keep movin even when the beat is gone (I will)
I'll keep doin what i got to do to carry on (I will)
So don't hold me down cause i'm gonna fly 
and the time has come and gotta say goodbye 
To the life that you see me in 
Here's where I begin 

And I promise myself 
I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free 
And I promise myself 
Even though it don't always come easy 
Gonna learn from my pain 
Never explain 
Do it my way, that's what I say 
Promise myself 
I'm the only one who will believe me
