daddy's money didn't


don't judge me for who I am

or what I want

when your sins are just as bad as mine.

 

don't you tell me that I'm going to hell

when you're the one doing what you do

to impress the people you don't like.

 

don't tell me how to live my life

because your life

and my life

are two very different things

and I damn well deserve

the same happiness that you deserve.

 

don't expect me to live up to your standards

trust me when I say

letting people down happens to be a skill of mine

so expect what you don't know.

 

daddy's money didn't get me

to where I am today.

daddy's money provided food and a house

and an education i'm happy with

but daddy's money didn't give me

the motivation I possessm

or the passion in my life.

 

so don't you ever try to tell me

how to be me.

you do you, and I'll do me.

deal?
