Ain’t Here to Please You

Verse 1
Got dust on my boots and a crack in my phone
Mama says slow down, but I’m grown and gone
They talk real loud from the other side of town
But I learned real quick how to tune that sound
Pre-Chorus
I’ve been burned by words that don’t mean a thing
Now I let ‘em fly past me like a west wind
Chorus
I ain’t here to please you, ain’t here to bend
Ain’t here to lose sleep over might-have-beens
If you don’t like the road that I’m rollin’ on
That’s fine, friend—keep movin’ on
I’ve paid my dues, yeah I’ve paid my share
This life’s mine, so I don’t play fair
Say what you want, I won’t even stare
I ain’t here to please you, no, I ain’t here
Verse 2
They say success gotta look one way
White fence dreams and a nine-to-five day
But I’ve seen kings in a beat-up ride
With a full tank heart and nothing to hide
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need a crowd sayin’ I belong
I know who I am when the lights are gone
Chorus
I ain’t here to please you, ain’t here to bend
Ain’t here to lose sleep over might-have-beens
If you don’t like the road that I’m rollin’ on
That’s fine, friend—keep movin’ on
I’ve paid my dues, yeah I’ve paid my share
This life’s mine, so I don’t play fair
Say what you want, I won’t even stare
I ain’t here to please you, no, I ain’t here
Bridge
Let ‘em point, let ‘em laugh, let ‘em doubt
I’ve been down, I fought my way out
Took every no and turned it loud
Into a reason I stand proud
Final Chorus
I ain’t here to please you, that ain’t my role
I answer only to my own soul
If my truth don’t fit your prayer
That’s your weight, I won’t wear
I’ve paid my dues, yeah I’ve paid my share
I walk straight even when it ain’t fair
Say what you want, I won’t even care
I ain’t here to please you
