Fuck Everybody but Me

FUCK EVERYBODY BUT ME [Intro] Yeah… Fuck everybody but me. I said what I said. Ain't looking for approval. Ain't asking for permission. Let's go. [Hook] Fuck everybody but me, I’m done playing nice, Everybody got opinions, everybody got advice. Fuck everybody but me, let ’em talk, let ’em see, I been fighting for myself, now it’s all about me. Fuck everybody but me, I don’t owe you shit, If you wasn’t there before, don’t come around when I’m lit. Fuck everybody but me, yeah, I’m finally free, World can kiss my ass tonight—fuck everybody but me. [Verse 1] I gave too much love to people who gave me pain, Held ’em up when they were falling, they forgot my name. I was there when shit got ugly, when the lights got low, Now I’m climbing out the hole and everybody wants a show. Where the fuck were you when I was down on my knees? When I had to fight my battles, when I barely could breathe? Now you see a little progress, now you wanna be close, But I remember every face that abandoned me the most. I ain't bitter, motherfucker, I just finally learned, You can give somebody everything and still get burned. So I’m cutting off the dead weight, cutting off the fake, If loving everybody means I lose myself, fuck that mistake. [Hook] Fuck everybody but me, I’m done playing nice, Everybody got opinions, everybody got advice. Fuck everybody but me, let ’em talk, let ’em see, I been fighting for myself, now it’s all about me. Fuck everybody but me, I don’t owe you shit, If you wasn’t there before, don’t come around when I’m lit. Fuck everybody but me, yeah, I’m finally free, World can kiss my ass tonight—fuck everybody but me. [Verse 2] I don't need your validation, I don't need your applause, I know every scar I got and I know what it cost. I’ve been counted out so many times I lost count, Now I’m turning every “no” into something I can mount. They talked behind my back, then smiled in my face, Funny how the fake ones always recognize the place. I don't chase nobody, I don't beg nobody, If you walk out of my life, motherfucker, goodbye. I’m choosing me today, yeah, I’m taking back my power, Been surviving every storm, now I’m building up a tower. You can hate me, you can love me, you can say what you please, I spent too many damn years trying to make everybody pleased. [Bridge] I’m not your savior. I’m not your bank. I’m not your therapist. I’m not your fucking tank. I carried everybody till my own knees broke, Now I’m carrying myself—that’s the motherfucking joke. [Verse 3] This ain't hatred, this is boundaries with a beat, I’m putting myself first and putting both feet on the street. No more guilt trips, no more bullshit games, No more taking all the blame for somebody else’s mistakes. If you love me, then love me. If you don't, keep it moving, I got nothing left to prove and nothing left to lose in. I’m too damn grown to be controlled by a crowd, I’d rather stand alone than be surrounded by fake love now. So raise your middle fingers, let the whole world see, Tonight we celebrate the motherfucker we chose to be. They can judge, they can gossip, they can disagree, But when the song fades out— Fuck everybody but me. [Final Hook] Fuck everybody but me, I’m done playing nice, Everybody got opinions, everybody got advice. Fuck everybody but me, let ’em talk, let ’em see, I been fighting for myself, now it’s all about me. Fuck everybody but me, I don’t owe you shit, If you wasn’t there before, don’t come around when I’m lit. Fuck everybody but me, yeah, I’m finally free, World can kiss my ass tonight— FUCK EVERYBODY BUT ME! [Outro] No apologies. No explanations. No permission. Just me. Fuck everybody but me.
