[Intro] [Saxophone hook] Yeah… Too much noise in the world right now But nobody really saying nothing Mm [Verse 1] I used to smile just to keep the peace Bit my tongue so you stay at ease Played along with your make-believe Now I see what you made of me Always giving, I was running dry Fed your ego, let my spirit die They take more when you don’t deny Yeah, I learned that lie [Pre-Chorus] You don’t listen when I talk real low Only care when I put on a show I ain’t living just to fit your mold No more [Chorus / Hook] I’m done — no people pleaser No more bending over backwards either Used to stay just to keep you sweeter Now I choose me, I choose me I’m done — no people pleaser No more hiding underneath ya If I lose you, I don’t need ya Now I choose me, I choose me [Saxophone hook] [Verse 2 ] Everybody screaming “be yourself” But they judge if you something else Sell your pain just to gain some wealth Tell me what’s even real no more? Scroll feeds got you hypnotized Truth blurred by the perfect lies They don’t care ‘bout your mental state Long as you generate Turn your life to a highlight reel Trade your worth for a quick appeal Got us chasing a plastic feel That we never feel [Pre-Chorus] You don’t hear me when I speak my mind Only love me when I’m being kind But I’m not here just to fall in line No more [Chorus / Hook] I’m done — no people pleaser No more bending over backwards either Used to stay just to keep you sweeter Now I choose me, I choose me I’m done — no people pleaser No more hiding underneath ya If I lose you, I don’t need ya Now I choose me, I choose me [Bridge] No more silence just to keep it calm No more smiling while it feels so wrong If the system only feeds on soft I won’t play along They want faces, they don’t want souls They want numbers, they don’t want growth If I break outta their control That’s the price I owe [Outro] [Saxophone hook] Yeah… If I gotta stand alone, I will If it cost me everything, I’m still… real No more pleasing I choose me
