I never thought I could be Affected by your criticisms Poisoned by your cynicism Lies dimmed the shine inside of me Been living in shadow of clouds But this is my philosophy now, hey, hey I grit my teeth and bare it, forget it You ain't even strong enough to steal my pride Shade don't got merit, share it With somebody else who wants to waste their time I'm gonna raise my cheeks and smile for you Just for the record I ain't cursing, nah you aint worth it, nah You don't deserve my, Bird My every breath is my currency I spend it on the positive Loving how I'm dropping it I let her fly spread her wings But only in my head in my dreams Read between the pointer and ring, hey, hey I grit my teeth and bare it, forget it You ain't even strong enough to steal my pride Your shade don't got merit, share it With somebody else who wants to waste their time I'm gonna raise my cheeks and smile for you Just for the record I ain't cursing, nah you aint worth it, nah You don't deserve my, Bird I ain't cursing, nah you aint worth it, nah you don't deserve my, bird My every breath is my currency, I spend it on the positive Loving how I'm dropping it I ain't cursing, nah you aint worth it, nah don't deserve my, bird I ain't cursing, nah you aint worth it, nah don't deserve my, bird My my my my bird, you you don't deserve, my my my bird My my my my bird, you you don't deserve, my my my bird
