[Verse] Roll up easy, yeah I move at my own pace Left the world behind like I never had a place They wrote the rules in ink — I wrote mine in ash Built everything from nothing, yeah I built it fast They been talking all year while I've been fading in the night Bright lights around me but it don't feel right And if you got a problem with the way that I ride Step aside homie — not my problem, not my fight [Pre-Chorus] I've been quiet through the noise inside my head Smiling at the world while barely hanging by a thread Turned it up to ten just to drown the feeling out — wait Actually yeah — I did [Chorus] I DO WHAT I WANT NOW — RIOT IN THE STREETS NOT YOUR RULES, NOT YOUR WORLD — THIS IS MINE TO KEEP! Watch the ashes falling while I stand in the glow I wasn’t never asking for permission — now you know I DO WHAT I WANT NOW — AND I'LL NEVER LET IT GO [Verse] They built the cage, I burned it, built a stage instead Clapping for the version of Myselfe I thought was dead Got the kind of confidence that doesn't sleep at night Laughing at the darkness just to keep away the light Googled "how to feel okay" — closed the tab, felt worse Turned it into something cool — yeah that's the whole verse So if you came here looking for an apology I ran out of sorry — filed it under history [Pre-Chorus] I've been quiet through the noise inside my head Long enough — yeah that's enough Actually yeah — I did [Chorus] I wasn’t asking for permission — never needed your approval I DO WHAT I WANT NOW — RIOT IN THE STREETS NOT YOUR RULES, NOT YOUR WORLD — THIS IS MINE TO KEEP!! Watch the ashes falling while I stand in the glow I wasn't asking for permission — now you know I DO WHAT I WANT NOW — AND I'LL NEVER LET IT GO [Bridge] You know what nobody talks about? That underneath the noise we're all just trying to figure it out CEOs, presidents, your yoga instructor Karen All drowning in the same water — just wearing different faces All just making it up as they go And that's supposed to be the people running things At least I’M honest about it [Post Bridge] No five year plan — no backup plan Had a plan once, hurt too much to look at Barely got a plan for getting through today But we look good falling apart — HEY! [Final Chorus] WE DO WHAT WE WANT NOW — RIOT IN THE STREETS NOT YOUR RULES, NOT YOUR WORLD — THIS IS OURS TO KEEP Watch the ashes falling while we're standing in the glow We were never asking for permission — now you know WE DO WHAT WE WANT NOW — AND WE'LL NEVER LET IT GO WE DO WHAT WE WANT NOW!!! [Outro] So… that happened I did warn you Every single time Not my problem Never was
