Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard you were concerned with my life
I heard you had a lot to say

Motherfuckin', thanks for nothin'

I'm gonna do it if it feels right
I'm gonna do it anyway

Motherfuckin', thanks for comin'

Well I'm sayin'
Don't sa I'm not all right
I'm used and confused and
I'm still puttin up a good fight
I'm still puttin' up a good

F.I.G.H.T., fight, fight, fight

Everybody thinks they know my problems
Everybody knows what's best for me

Don't think that anyone can solve them
Don't think there's anyone but me
