There′s a feedback loop going 'round in my head

I can′t make it stop, you say I'm going nowhere

You better come on back, girl, don't you step out of lineIf you don′t watch out, you′re gonna be a headline

My inner native's beating on the jungle drums

I′m restless from the rhythm of the rattle and hum

Something's going through me like a million volts

Then it hit me in the heart just like a lightning bolt

You′re not the boss of me

I'm who I need to be

Got possibilities

And I can finally breathe

You′re not the boss of me

No more apologies

You're ancient history

'Cause now I′m free

I got this now, what you gonna do?

I′m rolling like a gambler, I got nothing to lose

No job, no man to hold me down

If I got something to say, I'm gonna say it right now

You′re not the boss of me

I'm who I need to be

Got possibilities

And I can finally breathe

You′re not the boss of me

No more apologies

You're ancient history

′Cause now I'm free

No longer on the run

Answer to no one

You're not the boss of me

You′re not the boss of me

You′re not the boss of me

I'm who I need to be

Got possibilities

And I can finally breathe

You′re not the boss of me

No more apologies

You're ancient history

′Cause now I'm free (I′m free)

I'm free

I'm free

I′m free

You′re not the boss of me
