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.
