[Verse 1]
“What up Mike?
Name’s Joey, how you doin? What’s been up with you?
I know you busy and you probably got some stuff to do
But damn, I really do relate to what you’ve struggled through
Shit, honestly I’ve hardly got a buck or two
Cause I just lost my fuckin job and I can’t take it
I guess they had a shortage at the gas station
And to be honest, I don’t even have a decent hobby
But through your lyrics, I believe that I can be somebody
My daddy was a sucker too before he left my mom
That’s why I zone out every second to your deck of songs
But you must get that all the time when someone message you
But I respect you dude, like fuck, I just connect with you!
And that ain’t sexual, I mean you just inspire me
You made me see that I don’t need approval from society
You give me strength when people tell me to quit
Fuck it, I’m pissed
That’s why your music’s all the help I can get, for real”

[Chorus]
If you want something in your life so bad, but still hold back
Cause you’re afraid of what the world might say
Fuck what they say
To you
Cause they can’t help if they’re so selfish
Cause nothing’s ever going their way
For real though, fuck what they say
For real though, fuck what they say
[Verse 2]
“I found your songs through a friend of mine named Mary
You actually called her for her birthday back in January
That’s why I spread all of your music every time I can
You give me hope and it’s so sweet that you reply to fans!
You’ll never know it, but you helped my dreams unfold
Oh, by the way, my name’s Katie and I’m 19 years old
I used to play with razor blades to help me ease the pain
But then your songs like ‘Baby Don’t Cut’ made me feel again
You made me see the light when I would have no need to
And cause of that I am aspiring to be a ballerina
They used to say I couldn’t do it cause it’s too advanced
But I just got a letter of acceptance to a school of dance!
I’d look into the mirror and just think I’m so unsuitable
But, now the person staring back at me is beautiful
You give me strength when I’m finding it hard, or even hiding these scars
Kindest regards, Katie”

[Chorus]
If you want something in your life so bad, but still hold back
Cause you’re afraid of what the world might say
Fuck what they say
To you
Cause they can’t help if they’re so selfish
Cause nothing’s ever going their way
For real though, fuck what they say
For real though, fuck what they say
[Interlude: Girl talking & Guy talking]
“I’ve been in a fight with self-harm since 2006
And music was the only thing that would ever pull me out of it
There’re songs like ‘Baby Don’t Cut’ that made me realise how much I was really hurting the people I care about
Now the blades have a new home at the bottom of the river and I’m never letting them back in”
“Hey B-Mike, just wanted to let you know what song I relate to most, is ‘Never Giving Up’
Every time I hear that song, it’s like I get chills running through my body
You know, it gives me motivation to get out and do what I need to do to conquer what I need to conquer
Thank you man”

[Outro]
For real though, fuck what they say
