They say to get on in this life    You gotta live right   Go to school and keep your grades tight   And you mustn't miss a round   Keep your nose to the ground   But the thing that I found      I can't do that it just ain't me   Yeah, I dunno, you better ask somebody   Still I hear 'em tellin' me to get my degree   Sayin' it's the only way I'm gonna succeed      Well I don't necessarily wanna live that way   I make my own rules when I play   This game   Called life I know you think I'm crazy   But I don't necessarily wanna live like that   So when I'm coming up to that   You think I'm a failure   But I got heart   And I'm gonna hit this other part      I just don't wanna live that way      See I'm just trynna live my life   I got my own way of doing things   Now sayin' “you're wrong”   Which just ain't right for me   This is what I know   So this is how I do   Well that's just how I do      I go...?    And I'll be just fine   Stand up from the crowd   I'm gonna get mine   There's a fraction    Too much friction   But I fire words   I can see the sparks flying?      Well I don't necessarily wanna live that way   I make my own rules when I play   This game   Called life I know you think I'm crazy   But I don't necessarily wanna live like that   So when I'm coming up to that   You think I'm a failure   But I got heart   And I'm gonna hit this other part      And no-one seems to get this   No I'm not bein' rebellious   I just don't wann to live that way   I can't help it, it's just me   And maybe one day you'll see   That I just make my own rules when I play      But I don't necessarily wanna live like that   So when I'm coming up to that   You think I'm a failure   But I got heart   And I'm gonna hit this other part      Well I don't necessarily wanna live that way   I make my own rules when I play   This game   Called life I know you think I'm crazy   But I don't necessarily wanna live like that   So when I'm coming up to that   You think I'm a failure   But I got heart   And I'm gonna hit this other part
