opinion

You said: Calm down
Same old line, same old tone
Roll your eyes, act wise
Like you wrote the gospel on your phone

You love your little lectures
Love the sound of what you say
But every word is paper-thin
It blows, it folds, it fades away

You talk like I'm a problem
You talk like you're the cure
But I've been living in this skin
Long enough to be sure

That's your opinion
Not my prison
You don't get to tell me who I am
I'm done listenin'

Done pretending
Like I gotta fit inside your plans
You can keep your lines, your rules, your vision
That's your opinion

Not my prison
You rate my body
Like I asked you for a score (nah)
Scroll, swipe, type

You're so brave behind a door
You say I'm too much
Then you beg for one more taste
Funny how you fear my fire

But you're still warming at the flame
You talk like I'm the problem
You talk like you're the cure
But I don't need your little box

Got my own signature
That's your opinion
Not my prison
You don't get to tell me who I am

I'm done listenin'
Done pretending
Like I gotta fit inside your plans
You can keep your lines, your rules, your vision

That's your opinion
Not my prison
Yeah

You said: Be nice
You said: Be small
You said: You're cute
Till you talk too tall

You said: Calm down
I said: Speak up
You said: Know your place
I said: Level up

You throw shade like it's confetti
But I've learned to dance in storms
I don't bend to fit your framing
I redraw my own contour

If you're talking, I'm the topic
Guess I live in your head free
So keep writing all your stories
I'll be busy being me (hey)

That's your opinion
Not my prison
You don't get to tell me who I am
I'm done listenin'

Done pretending
Like I gotta fit inside your plans
You can keep your lines, your rules, your vision
That's your opinion

Not my prison
Say what you want
I'm still livin'
Your little box

I'm still bigger
Your every word
I've forgiven
You can keep your
