Being pulled in every direction with everyone telling you what to do instead of making your own decisions in life.

All these people telling me how I should act
All these people telling me who I should be
Why can’t they all just let me be me?
Even my family thinks they’ve walked in my shoes
They’ll never know how long I’ve sang the blues.
Lucky for me, I’ve got one friend on my side
Telling me to sit back and enjoy the ride.
No one thinks I should live life that way
Won’t they freak out on that glorious day!
It will come when they realize that I’ve had enough
Enough of them nosing, and criticizing, and stuff
Or it will come on the day that I say
“Fuck you! Eat a dick!”
And move along my merry way.
At that point I would have no father or mother
The only one proud of me would be my brother
If only for the infamous phrase he coined his own
Not for me claiming my life as my own.
I wish they would all see this is my life to live
I’m getting tired of having to give, give, give
Giving is good when you get something in return
But lately, I just seem to keep getting burned.
Even my ex who was supposed to be my friend
Makes me feel this will never come to an end
He’s even willing to commit fraud
Now doesn’t that seem just a bit odd?
He even says I’m a gold-digging bitch
Does he really think his chump change will make me rich?
Might be enough to pay a few bills
Sure not enough to get any thrills!
The one that’s supposed to love you more than anything
Now claims all I care about is the bling-bling
I just want enough to get by
He tries to make me miserable telling lie after lie.
I just wanted out with the clothes on my back
I never thought that he would attack
Now I guess all the blame is mine
All he had to do was sign on the dotted line
But he won’t let it get to that point
Sometimes I just wanna blow this joint!
