You want a version of me that stays in line A safe little story you can call "mine" But I was never built to beg for praise I don’t move on cue, I don’t bend that way Call it too much when I cross your line I call it truth when it costs me likes I hear the noise, I let it fade I learned real work doesn’t dance for acclaim If I sand it down so it won’t offend Then nothing living will be left in the end (in the end) Your boos don’t mean a thing to me I’ve seen what you cheer for, honestly You love a lie when it plays on time You hate the mirror when it shows my mind So keep that sound, keep that energy I don’t need your blessing to be free (be free) (be free) (be free) (turn your back) (go your own) (turn your back) (unafraid) (be free) You want a maker who feels tame Who trades their pulse for a safer name But I can’t build beauty on quiet fear Can’t write gold just to keep you near If I chase the room, I lose the thread So I walk straight through what’s left unsaid I hear the noise, I let it fade I know real art doesn’t beg to be saved If I shape it just to be received Then nothing true gets a chance to breathe (to breathe) Your boos don’t mean a thing to me I’ve seen what you cheer for, honestly You love a lie when it plays on time You hate the mirror when it shows my mind So keep that sound, keep that energy I don’t need your blessing to be free (be free) (be free) If you want to create, you turn your back to the crowd Not because you hate them, but because they’re too loud You can’t hear the work while you chase their noise You can’t make something real just to fill their void If you want something beautiful, you walk alone Unafraid, off script, unknown You follow that line only you can see You risk their silence to stay free (stay free) (stay free) (stay free) (stay free) (turn your back) (go your own) (turn your back) (unafraid) Your boos don't mean a thing to me I've seen what you cheer for, honestly You clap for the mask, not the face beneath You want me smaller, I want to breathe So keep that sound, keep that energy I don't need your blessing to be free (be free) (be free) (be free) (be free) (turn your back) (go your own) (turn your back) (unafraid) Be Free
