You wanna say I’m killing my reputation?

You wanna tell me to stop before I do?

Well if I cared what other people think

Would I be speaking my mind through and through?

You say that I need to be good

You say that I need to stay with your standards

Why are you saying this?

I’m me for goodness sakes!

I have standards to fill

They’re my own though!

You will not twist me into filling your will.

My reputation is my own yes?

My reputation is to be my own.

And my reputation is to please who? Guess.

It’s me

And will always be

Don’t tell me I’m downgrading myself

Because I’ll always be better than those

Who tell me to be something else.
