[Verse] I didn't ask for validation Didn't need your confirmation Teacher said I'm not the best But I won't join their mundane quest (ITS THEIR LOSS!) [Verse 2] My question wasn't even close To the topic they chose to impose Yet they spoke like they knew me But I see through their broken plea (YOU ARE NOT GOOD FOR ME!) [Chorus] I should quit while I'm ahead Don't need to follow where they've led I'll walk my path oh so free Keep my dignity with me (CANT DRAG ME DOWN!) [Verse 3] Their circle's tight their clique so close But that's a life I won't propose They dance in sync they march in line But freedom sings a sweeter rhyme (GO DOWN A BETTER PATH!) [Bridge] No strings on me I'll find my way On open roads where I will play Their judgement can't imprison me I'll live my truth in harmony (LET THEM STAY IN DISCORD!) [Chorus] I should quit while I'm ahead Don't need to follow where they've led I'll walk my path oh so free Keep my dignity with me (CANT DRAG ME DOWN!) [Verse 4] Question not about the topic But you felt the need to gossip Told me things I didn't ask Stamped your judgment like a mask. (DONT TREAT ME LIKE A FOOL!) [Verse 5] Whispers in the halls keep going But my own path I'll be showing Don't need your boxed-in view March to my own beat (Keep your clique and your rules!) [SOLO] [SOLO] [Chorus] I should quit while I'm ahead Don't need to follow where they've led I'll walk my path oh so free Keep my dignity with me (CANT DRAG ME DOWN!) [Bridge] No strings on me I'll find my way On open roads where I will play Their judgement can't imprison me I'll live my truth in harmony (LET THEM STAY IN DISCORD!) [Final Chorus] I should quit while I'm ahead Don't need to follow where they've led I'll walk my path oh so free Keep my dignity with me (CANT DRAG ME DOWN!) [Instrumental] [End]
