[Hook]
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
I’ma do me, won’t you do you (yeah yeah yeah)
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah, I control myself
I don’t control what she does below the belt
I’m all about my business and I mind it so damn well
My soul is always open but it don’t go for sale (nah nah)
I take control of my destiny
I’m cruisin’ like Penelope, they snoozin’ and done slept on me
I cook em with that recipe, that one I call a specialty
I mix the vibez with their hate, and you can smell the jealousy
Worried about another man I’ll never be
“Cause me worried about another man is a rarity
But you worried about me, looking for clarity
I’m doing good but still prayin’ on a better me
My verses could be wordless, still be speakin’ with a purpose
Condemned by these curses, so your hate to me is worthless
I see the Devil every time when I close my eyes
The visions multiply, but I still control my life
[Hook]
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
I’ma do me, won’t you do you (yeah yeah yeah)
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
[Verse 2]
Still tryna find out who I really am
Each day helps me more than any theory can
But now I feel like I ain't living enough
Hardly getting love ‘cause I ain't giving enough
Aches in my head, I ain't getting enough
Used to live with fear but now I ain't timid as much
Actions over words, so these lyrics I touch
The pain is real so the words are written as such
I’ve told so many lies and regret today
I wanna tell the truth but pride gets in the way
But they still listen, what’s the difference it makes?
I showcase my wins but I shield the mistakes
You’re born alone, you die alone
I pour the liquor into this styrofoam
And let the thrill go down my throat
And if you call my phone and only get the dial tone
Leave a message and let me have my time alone
[Hook]
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
I’ma do me, won’t you do you (yeah yeah yeah)
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
[Refrain]
I control myself (I control myself), nobody else, nah
I control myself (I control myself), nobody else, nah
I control myself (I control myself), nobody else, nah
I control myself, ‘cause mothafucka everybody else, nah
[Hook]
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
I’ma do me, won’t you do you (yeah yeah yeah)
I control myself, not nobody else (yeah yeah yeah)
