[Verse 1]
I gotta be free, gotta live on my own time
Yeah, I gotta be free, gonna live on my own time
Ain’t no chains gonna hold me, no mountain I can’t climb

[Verse 2]
I’ll sit on my couch, or I’ll head on out
Yeah, I’ll sit on my couch, maybe scream and shout
Don’t tell me what to do, I’ll figure it out

[Chorus]
So take off these shackles, and let me be
Take off these shackles, and just let me be
No keys to your kingdom, just let me be free

[Verse 3]
No clubs or drama, just clearin’ my way
Throw it all to the wind, let it fly away
I’m walkin’ my own road, takin’ it my way

[Bridge]
No rules to abide, no key left to find
I’ll break down the walls, leave it all behind
I’ll do it my own way, and I’ll do it in my time

[Chorus]
So take off these shackles, and let me be
Take off these shackles, and just let me be
No keys to your kingdom, just let me be free

[Outro]
I gotta be free, free as the sky
Yeah, I gotta be free, let the world roll by
I’m livin’ my own rhythm, you won’t hear me cry

Verse 1:
Don’t treat me like scrap, you’ll regret that soon,
Don’t treat me like dirt, or you’ll sing your last tune.
I’ll make sure you won’t see another moon.

Verse 2:
You won’t make it back, I’ll see to that for sure,
You won’t make it back, I’ll see to that for sure,
No doors to walk through, no life to restore.

Verse 3:
I’ll wipe the slate clean, your soul’s a debt to me,
I’ll wipe the slate clean, your soul’s a debt to me,
Warned you once, warned you twice, warned you up to three.

Verse 4:
You made a fool of me, but I’ll show you how,
You made a fool of me, but I’ll show you how,
Now I’m standing tall, and you’re bowing down.

Chorus:
It’s time for me to go, go, go, I’m gone,
It’s time for me to go, go, go, I’m gone,
When the cops arrive, I’ll be moving on.

Bridge:
You never heard the stories ‘bout little ol’ me,
Should’ve paid attention, now you’ll see.
There’s no turning back, I’ve made up my mind,
Leaving this town, leaving nothing behind.

Chorus (repeat):
It’s time for me to go, go, go, I’m gone,
It’s time for me to go, go, go, I’m gone,
When the cops arrive, I’ll be moving on.

Outro:
Don’t treat me like dirt, don’t treat me like scrap,
This ain’t no warning, there’s no going back.
I’ll vanish in the night, like a shadow unseen,
Leaving behind the darkest of scenes.

Verse 1:
Wow, look at you now, look at you now,
Who’d have thought you’d climb, after all this time?
That lazy love you gave, it tore me apart,
But now you’re standing tall, like a work of art.

Verse 2:
I never knew you had it in your soul,
But there you go, finally taking control.
Look at you now, look at you now,
All those years, and somehow you’ve made it count.

Chorus:
All those years we spent frustrated,
Living a life so complicated.
Look at you now, look at you now,
I couldn’t have guessed, but babe, I’m impressed.
Look at you now, look at you now.

Bridge:
Through the dark, the pain, and devastation,
You found your way out of desperation.
Look at you now, look at you now,
You’ve turned it around, and I’m here somehow.

Chorus (repeat):
All those years we spent frustrated,
Living a life so complicated.
Look at you now, look at you now,
I couldn’t have guessed, but babe, I’m impressed.
Look at you now, look at you now.

Outro:
From the shadows to the light you found,
Rising up, leaving broken ground.
Look at you now, look at you now,
A brand-new star, you’ve made me proud.

Verse 1:
Got my pennies, my bag full of doubt,
So all you kings and queens, better watch out.
I’m rolling on, I’m rolling into town,
You may not see me, but you’ll hear my sound.

Chorus:
I’m rolling, rolling, rolling into town,
No inhibitions, no secrets to be found.
I’m here to make you listen, to turn it all around,
Yeah, I’m rolling, rolling, rolling into town.

Verse 2:
You can try to ignore me, but I’ll be loud,
My voice will carry high above the crowd.
No turning back, I’ve got no fear,
Rolling through town, my message is clear.

Bridge:
I’ve got nothing to lose, nothing to hide,
Carrying my pride and doubts side by side.
So keep your crown, your jewels, your throne,
I’ll make my mark, even if I’m alone.

Chorus (repeat):
I’m rolling, rolling, rolling into town,
No inhibitions, no secrets to be found.
I’m here to make you listen, to turn it all around,
Yeah, I’m rolling, rolling, rolling into town.

Outro:
Got my pennies and my bag full of doubt,
But you’ll remember me, there’s no doubt.
I’m rolling, rolling, rolling into town.

Verse 1:
You don't know a thing 'bout a woman's heart,
Got no clue where to end or where to start.
Pack up your pride, step out of my life,
I’ve had enough of this heartache and strife.
You don’t know a thing 'bout a woman's heart,
And you’re blind to the fire that tears us apart.

Chorus:
Don’t cry and plead, don’t beg me to stay,
I’m done with the games you’ve been tryin’ to play.
You don’t know love, you’ve been runnin’ blind,
And I’m takin’ back this heart of mine.
You don’t know a thing ‘bout what a girl needs,
Let alone what a woman like me believes.

Verse 2:
You can’t hold a flame when the nights grow cold,
Your love’s like a story that’s half untold.
I’ve been patient, I’ve been kind,
But you lost my love when you lost your mind.
You can’t hold a flame when the nights grow cold,
Now I’m movin’ on, takin’ back my soul.

Bridge:
I gave you my best, and you gave me your worst,
Left me alone with my heart fit to burst.
Now you’re cryin’, tryin’ to call me back,
But I’m out of this game, and I’m leavin’ the track.

Chorus (repeated):
Don’t cry and plead, don’t beg me to stay,
I’m done with the games you’ve been tryin’ to play.
You don’t know love, you’ve been runnin’ blind,
And I’m takin’ back this heart of mine.
You don’t know a thing ‘bout what a girl needs,
Let alone what a woman like me believes.

Outro:
So take your lies and hit the road,
I’m done carryin’ this heavy load.
You don’t know nothin’ ‘bout what love could be,
Now I’m free, just a woman, finally me.

Keep things real

Verse 1:
I don’t care for all this modern mess,
It’s got no soul, just emptiness.
I’d rather sing and dance, that’s who I am,
Even if I’m offbeat or miss the jam.
It’s what I feel, it’s how I heal,
I’ll shake my hips and toss my hair,
Twist and shout, like I just don’t care.

Chorus:
I don’t need no choreography,
Just let the rhythm take hold of me.
Feel the beat, let it set you free,
Come on now, dance and sing with me.
Let’s get on down, make it real tonight,
Feel the soul, let it take flight.

Verse 2:
Tapping digits ain’t my style,
I’d rather groove and wear a smile.
You should know by now, it’s my thing,
To lose myself in the songs I sing.
My feet move wild, my body sways,
It’s how I’ll keep the blues at bay.

Bridge:
Feel my soul revived, vibrations inside,
Moving to the music, I come alive.
It’s what I need to heal, to be real,
Let the rhythm mend what the world can’t feel.
If you’re tired of the modern day,
Come on, baby, step my way.

Chorus (repeat):
I don’t need no choreography,
Just let the rhythm take hold of me.
Feel the beat, let it set you free,
Come on now, dance and sing with me.
Let’s get on down, make it real tonight,
Feel the soul, let it take flight.

Outro:
So join me now if you feel the same,
Shake off the weight, step out of the game.
We’ll twist and shout, keep it raw and true,
This is how we heal, me and you.
Come on, baby, come my way,
Let’s get real, let’s dance today.

Wouldn’t It Be Nice

[Verse 1]
Wouldn’t it be nice, to roll out of bed
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice, to roll out of bed
Instead of rollin’ the dice, in the life I’ve led

[Verse 2]
Wouldn’t it be nice, to buy my own heels
Yeah, wouldn’t it be nice, to buy my own heels
No one tellin’ me no, just livin’ how it feels

[Chorus]
With bubbles and sparkles, and all things that glow
Oh, bubbles and sparkles, and all things that glow
I’d shine like the stars, don’t you already know?

[Verse 3]
Wouldn’t it be nice, to buy my own jewels
Yeah, wouldn’t it be nice, to buy my own jewels
Furs on my shoulders, breakin’ all the rules

[Bridge]
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice, to live on my terms
Wouldn’t it be nice, no lessons to learn
I’d walk through this world, and watch the tables turn

[Chorus]
With bubbles and sparkles, and all things that glow
Oh, bubbles and sparkles, and all things that glow
I’d shine like the stars, don’t you already know?

[Outro]
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice, to live so free
Yeah, wouldn’t it be nice, just to be me
Dreamin’ my sweet dream, the life I wanna see

People like me

Verse 1:
I got my pride, I got my shame,
I got my pride, I got my shame,
People like me, you’ll remember my name.

Verse 2:
You’ll look back when I’m long gone,
You’ll look back when I’m long gone,
People like me don’t stick around for long.

Verse 3:
You’ll miss me, babe, I can confess,
You’ll miss me, babe, I can confess,
But people like me, we don’t live with regrets.

Verse 4:
I’ll listen now to all your lies and shit,
I’ll listen now to all your lies and shit,
‘Cause people like me, babe, I’m over it.

Chorus:
I’ve walked this road, I’ve felt the sting,
I’ve walked this road, I’ve felt the sting,
People like me, we’re born to break the strings.

Bridge:
Don’t try to hold me, don’t pull me down,
I’ve got no time for this tired old town.
You’ll see my shadow as I’m moving on,
People like me, we’re gone before the dawn.

Chorus (repeat):
I’ve walked this road, I’ve felt the sting,
I’ve walked this road, I’ve felt the sting,
People like me, we’re born to break the strings.

Outro:
So remember my pride, remember my shame,
People like me, you’ll remember my name.
When I’m gone, don’t shed no tears,
‘Cause people like me, we disappear.
