Say What You Want by Xi eleven Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My mom and dad don't like it when I spend too much money
I dye my hair too much and they don’t think my jokes are funny
But I think I wanna try it all before I get too old
Cause who knows? I could die before I'm twenty-four
When I was back in ninth grade, my friends would always call me gay
But I can't really blame them cuz I couldn’t set things straight
But now we all have fun together and we all have better grades
Well most of us do, and some will always be the same
Now we're all chasing As to get that perfect GPA
But man I feel like doing great just isn't in my DNA
I wanna go to college for the knowledge and I may
But I gotta get the numbers or I'll end up getting played
They say I'm not a number but I'm number than before
And I'm fighting for my life but yeah my life is but a 4
I wanna make 'em proud but I don’t know if I can make it
So I pack it all together and I day-by-day-by-day it
[Pre-Chorus]
We have our own brains and we have our own traits
We gotta get it out or we going insane like
"I don’t like puppies and I shot one in the face
And I don't even regret it ’cause I'm only a disgrace"
We got a lotta faces and we got a lotta hate
But why is that a bother when you know you're not a fake?
I know that you're amazing and you all should know the same
But we all have different feelings so I think
[Chorus]
You can say what you want
Say what you want
You can say what you want
’Cause i'll try to be a better
You can say what you want
Say what you want
You can say what you want
'Cause i'll try to be a better man
[Verse 2]
I'm kinda desperate to find out who I am
I know I'm still changing but I really think I can
And I'm already eighteen but still relying on my fam
I can't say I'm sure if I can really be a man
I don't know if I can tell my mom and dad
That somewhere deep inside I really love them but I'm bad
At conversation; I'm not sure if my little brother understands
But I wanna take good care, so he can be in safer hands
I wish that I could be a little faster, and be tall
Because the shame is all I get and then the big guys get it all
My exes never wore their heels and I get beaten to the ball
It only takes the smallest little shove before I fall
I wanna say it all, but I don't know where I should start
It seems like when I'm happy, all my life just falls apart
I wanna make 'em proud but I don't know if I can make it
So I pack it all together and I day-by-day-by-day it
[Pre-Chorus]
We have our own brains and we have our own traits
We gotta get it out or we going insane like
"Can i order a large cheese pizza?
Yes a normal cheese pizza but put some pineapple on it"
We got a lotta faces and we got a lotta hate
But why is that a bother when you know you're not a fake?
I know that you're amazing and you all should know the same
But we all have different feelings so I think
[Chorus]
You can say what you want
Say what you want
You can say what you want
'Cause i'll try to be a better
You can say what you want
Say what you want
You can say what you want
'Cause i'll try to be a better man
[Pre-Chorus]
We have our own brains and we have our own traits
We gotta get it out or we going insane like
"Oh my god, are you serious right now?
Well, I hope this chick named “Taylor” makes you happy, boy, I'm out"
("I said I loved her music not her.")
We got a lotta faces and we got a lotta hate
But why is that a bother when you know you're not a fake?
I know that you're amazing and you all should know the same
But we all have different feelings so I think
You can say what you want
[Beat Switch]
[Outro]
Hold on, let me get back on this
Oh man, oh man
Know like, I feel like I don't think I'll be able to tell you of a day when all this comes to an end, 'cause, I know, I mean, I know I wish I could, but I think this is just gonna keep going and going, and I don't know. Even after I grow up, I feel like I'm gonna have these feelings and, um, I feel like I wrote this song but I don't know if it's gonna end. Like, it's kinda just a doubt in my head. Yeah. Yeah. Mm. I think so too, like, I feel like it's important for me to be able to kind of reflect on myself and do whatever, right? Yeah. Thanks dude. Yeah, it's okay. Yeah. I'll talk to you later, though man, I uh, thanks, bye man
