But I did not gCet this fuckin far
To be some puppet on some shelf

Just to become somebody else
I know it's hCard But I'll fight for who I was And who I will be
To Fbecome somebody greater And at the same time Stay the same me
And I sCtill don't give a fuck about what they say to me
Stay true to wFho you are
And never do it quietly
  N.C.
Don't panic
COoFh CYeFah Ooh Yeah Yeah Ooh

How could you blame us?"

No, no, no, no I know, I get it Don't feel misunderstood

One of my idols signed a deal

Did shit they said they never would

But I did not get this fuckin far

To be some puppet on some shelf

& I haven't fought for who I am

Just to become somebody else

I know it's hard But I'll fight for who I was And who I will be

To become somebody greater And at the same time Stay the same me

And I still don't give a fuck about what they say to me

Stay true to who you are

And never do it quietly

N.C.

Don't panic
