Spent a lifetime Searching for acceptance Seeking praise Fitting in while Doing everything right Instead I found myself Always missing the mark Coming up short A picture of nothing But getting it wrong But now I see I need to just let it be I don’t need no stamp of approval I don’t need no gold star badge Representing perfection All I need is a reclamation Gotta redefine self satisfaction I’ll let it set the bar higher When I take the next shot My whole life I spent granting Misplaced authority I gave everyone around me The keys to who I am I gave all the wrong people All the wrong power And locked myself out In the end I have to be the one Who decides what I’m about I don’t need no stamp of approval I don’t need no gold star badge Representing perfection All I need is a reclamation Gotta redefine self satisfaction I’ll let it set the bar higher When I take the next shot From this moment on I’m taking back my own life No one else will define me No one will confine me Nobody else will destroy who I am I don’t need no stamp of approval I don’t need no gold star badge Representing perfection All I need is a reclamation Gotta redefine self satisfaction I’ll let it set the bar higher When I take the next shot
