I don’t need your acceptance
But it feels way better if I get it
It might just seem
Like I’m here for the fame
'Cause you saw me on the screen
You saw me doing my own thing
And in case you ain’t intrigued
You could always up and leave
Let me pull up my sleeve tell you why I came
I didn’t come this way just to be the same
I came to be myself
It’s not a talent I’ve acquired, it’s a skill that I’ve developed
The minute that you make it they’ll be calling you a sell out
And I accept the challenge and I manage what I’m handed
It’s almost like it was a part of my vision when I planned it
I saw it happen slowly, I dragged along the baggage
And I was on my toes, it almost threw me out of balance
And I don’t even know if I believe it when I’m saying it
But somethings tells me I’m too deep in it to quit
How can I expect you got a minute to borrow
When I ain’t got a minute by the end of tomorrow
Time is flying by, looking at the sky
Never knew the reason, need to tell you why
I don’t need your approval
But it feels so brutal
If you ain’t gonna let me in
Then you ain’t gotta sit
And listen this one through
Just let me do my own thing
And in case you ain’t intrigued
You could always up and leave
Let me pull up my sleeve tell you why I came
I didn’t come this way just to be the same
I came to be myself
It’s not a passion that I choose, I couldn’t help it, fell in love with it
Happened soon as I had a minute I could sit with it
'Cause what I kept inside, I made it come alive
And now it is a thing I do to demonstrate my drive
I strive and I thrive and I come in I combine
My heart and my soul and my love in a line
In an order that I shaped and this here’s what I design
It’s something you can see, even if you go colorblind
How can I expect you got a minute to borrow
When I ain’t got a minute by the end of tomorrow
Time is flying by, looking at the sky
Never knew the reason, need to tell you why
How can I expect you got a minute to borrow
When I ain’t got a minute by the end of tomorrow
Time is flying by, looking at the sky
Never knew the reason, need to tell you why
