My Turf

(Intro - Fast, whispered breathy vocal)

(Hush... hush...)

Yeah, you hear me?

Listen.

(Verse 1 - Rhythmic, spoken-word style)

No body can tell me what to do

This is my turf,

I’m breaking through

I am the only person in control of myself

Don't need your input,

don't need your help

I control my emotions, keep 'em on ice

Only trust my own advice

I control who's in my life,

yeah, I check the list

If you ain't bringing value,

you don't exist

(Pre-Chorus - Building intensity)

Disrespect me and I'm gone

I don't wait around for dawn

I run the show,

check the throne

I’m standing on my own

(Chorus - Melodic, anthemic, heavy bass drop)

It's my life,

my-my life

My-my life,

li-i-i-i-ife, yeah!

It's my life,

my-my life

If you don't like me,

there's the door, yeah!

(Verse 2 - Faster flow)

Look at the clock,

I don't punch in for you

Everything I do is for the, me, the true

Ain't got time for the drama or the fake emotion

I’m a tidal wave,

you’re just a ripple in the ocean

I set the rules, I play the game

If you can't handle it,

it’s a shame

Yeah, I run the show,

never slow,

watch me go

(Hush)

(Chorus - Melodic, anthemic)

It's my life,

my-my life

My-my life,

li-i-i-i-ife, yeah!

It's my life,

my-my life

If you don't like me,

there's the door, yeah!

(Bridge - Slow, stripped back, just bass and snaps)

Control.

Emotions.

Who’s in my life.

Yeah, I’m gone.

(Get out)

(Guitar/Synth Solo - High energy)

(Chorus - Full volume, ad-libs)

It's my life,

my-my life (Yeah, it's my life!)

My-my life,

li-i-i-i-ife, yeah! (My life, my-my life)

It's my life,

my-my life

If you don't like me,

there's the door, yeah! (There's the door!)

(Outro - Whispered)

My turf.

(Hush)

Beat fades out
