No Matter What They Say
Follow Your Instinct Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm writing my own tale
I'm fighting my own way
And I will survive
No matter what they say
I've chosen my own way
To tell you my story
I know I'll survive
My way or no way
Nonbelievers ok
I'm a showcase
How I made it through the cold days
Heard them say, Addis
Mediocre, average
Dead and gone, down and out
Cold hearted bastard
Anti-social, don't take it personal
I don't f*** with anybody
Keep a tight circle
Same goals, same dreams,
Same values matter
Honesty, loyalty, see how it adds up.
(Bridge)
Knocked down a million times
Prayed on my knees
Darkest hour, G-O-D's power got me back on my feet
No matter what they say
I'm writing my own tale
I'm fighting my own way
And I will survive
No matter what they say
I've chosen my own way
To tell you my story
I know I'll survive
No matter what they say
All alone and I feel I'm on burning ground
Hold my hands, let me know it'll turn araound
Show me how to be strong, I wanna stay alive
Oh yes, I know I will survive
All my life I had a dream I'm running for
I see the sun come out, I see the picture more
I see the birds fly and a clear sky
Right over my head, over my head.
(Bridge)
Knocked down a million times
Prayed on my knees
Darkest hour, G-O-D's power got me back on my feet
No matter what they say
I'm writing my own tale
I'm fighting my own way
And I will survive
No matter what they say
I've chosen my own way
To tell you my story
I know I'll survive
No matter what they say
They can't judge me
They don't know me
I won't budge see
I walk my on streets
Trust me (trust me)
I've been lonely
Eyes wide shut.
No matter what they say
I'm writing my own tale
I'm fighting my own way
And I will survive
No matter what they say
I've chosen my own way
To tell you my story
I know I'll survive
No matter what they say
No matter what they say
I'm writing my own tale
I'm fighting my own way
And I will survive
No matter what they say
I've chosen my own way
To tell you my story
I know I'll survive
No matter what they say
The song "No Matter What They Say" is an inspiring and empowering anthem about staying true to oneself in the face of adversity and criticism from others. The lyrics express a determination to write one's own story, fight for one's own dreams, and survive no matter what others may say or think. The artist resists negative labels and chooses to keep a tight circle of trusted friends who share the same goals and values of honesty and loyalty.
Moreover, the lyrics suggest a journey of personal growth and resilience, acknowledging moments of darkness and difficulty but also moments of triumph and hope. The artist speaks of being knocked down a million times, praying for strength, and finding the power of G-O-D to get back on their feet. They also express a sense of loneliness and perseverance, running towards their dream and seeing the sun come out despite the obstacles.
The overall message of the song is that one's own journey and voice matter regardless of what anyone else may say, and that the key to surviving and thriving is to trust oneself, stay strong, and stay focused on what matters most.
