My own lane

I see the way you look at me, I know what you want, tryna push me in a space where I just don’t belong.

I respect what you love, but that ain’t my thing, I ain"t tryna fake the vibe just to fit in the scene.

Told me, “C’mon, it ain’t that deep, just go with the flow, don’t make it a speech.”

But I can"t step where my heart don’t lead, rather stay true than be lost in the breeze.

I know you want me to ride your wave, but I move to the beat that my soul just plays.

Ain"t no hate, ain"t no love lost here, I just gotta do me, gotta make that clear.

I hear the whispers, feel the weight, like I’m guilty for not playin’ your way.

But if I bend now, where does it end? How many times do I pretend?

I ain"t tryna fight, ain"t tryna make war, just wanna walk through my own front door.

Same respect I give, I just need it back, don’t push me in a lane where my heart ain"t at.

I know you want me to ride your wave, but I move to the beat that my soul just plays.

Ain"t no hate, ain"t no love lost here, I just gotta do me, gotta make that clear.

If I change for you, who gon’ change for me? If I drown in this, who gon’ set me free?

I ain"t stubborn, just know my road, gotta walk this path where my own light glows.

Ain’t no shade, ain’t no pride, just know I’m stayin’ on my side.

If you love me, let me be, that’s the only way real love breathe.

One life, one shot, gotta move with intent, can"t trade my soul just to say I fit in.

If I say "yes" when my heart say "no," then who am I when I stand alone?

Still got love, ain"t no bridges burned, just know my path had to take its turn.

Ain’t no right, ain’t no wrong, just truth, and my truth ain"t lookin’ like yours do.

We both stand here, two roads, two views,

I see your side, and I know you see mine too.

Ain’t about who"s right, ain"t about who"s wrong,

Just two different hearts, two different songs.

I ain"t mad, I ain"t tryna make you change,

Just hope you see why I gotta move my way.

No bad blood, no shade thrown, just gotta move how my heart been shown.

I ain"t changin’ just to fit that frame, I got love for you, but I"m my own name.
