I'm wasting good time and energy
On someone who isn't even a friend of me.
Thinking about what might happen,
What could happen,
How I should say what, and what should happen.
I've gotten way better with letting things go.
In through one ear and out the other words flow.
There's still some things I need to work on,
Like not worrying about things I have no control on.
What ever happens, happens.
I seem to always make it through,
But there always comes a time in everyone's life,
Where we don't know what to do.
We try talking it out,
Getting advice,
Walking away,
But it seems twice as hard not to fall to someone's level
Than to do what's right.
But sometimes,
Letting that person "have it" makes you seem weak.
When really you're not giving in to their ignorance
Or saying mean things.
I just hit 'em with that "Oh, ok"
Or say slick things back.
Trust me if they turn up, imma shut them down,
But instead of taking one step forward,
That's just knocking me two steps back.
It'd be better for me to tell you you're annoying,
And be on my way.
And let you know if talkin' about me boosts your self-esteem,
Then say what you have to say.
I don't have low self-confidence, or a low self-esteem.
Unlike you I don't have to talk about people
To feel better about me.
In the end, no matter what, I will always have a smile on my face.
It doesn't matter what you do or how low you stoop,
You can never ruin my day!
