I′m doing nothing

'Cause then at least I′m doing nothing wrong

And I'm gonna stay in on my ownThen turn off my telephone

If nothing's gained then nothing′s won

And you can tell ′em

Yeah, you can say whatever I don't care (yeah-yeah)

And if you wanna play it cool, then I got news for you

It′s getting hotter, hotter in here

So when I speak, listen, this is my decision

And you keep on messing up the words (oh-oh, oh-oh)

So when I speak, listen, 'cause you keep on pushing

Like I need permission to be heard (oh-oh, oh-oh)

I′m gonna lift it, lift it higher

I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher

So when I speak, listen, this is my decision

And you keep on messing up the words

I′m getting closer (closer)

I'm moving in and, yeah, I think you know

'Cause I am sick of playing games

And I′m not gon′ say no names

But you and I know who to blame

So you can tell 'em

Yeah, you can go ahead and put it straight

′Cause I am finishing myself

And I do not need your help

I'm gonna do this, do it right

So when I speak, listen, this is my decision

And you keep on messing up the words (oh-oh, oh-oh)

So when I speak, listen, ′cause you keep on pushing

Like I need permission to be heard (oh-oh, oh-oh)

I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher

I′m gonna lift it, lift it higher

So when I speak, listen, this is my decision

And you keep on messing up the words

I'm gonna lift it, lift it

When you go higher, I go higher

I'm gonna lift it, lift it

Yeah, you can try but I′ll go higher

I′m gonna lift it, lift it

The only thing, boy, all that you can do is listen, so listen!

So when I speak, listen, this is my decision

And you keep on messing up the words (oh-oh, oh-oh)

So when I speak, listen, 'cause you keep on pushing

Like I need permission to be heard (oh-oh, oh-oh)

I′m gonna lift it, lift it higher

I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher

So when I speak, listen, this is my decision

And you keep on messing up the words
