I Don't Care What You Think
Unapologetic Liberation: I Don't Care What You Think by Harlis Sweetwater
Lyrics
Watch me shine like a thousand suns
Expressing confidence and radiance, shining brightly.
In a deep dark room
Metaphorically describing a place of introspection or solitude.
Listen as I sing and spread my wings and spit my truth
Sharing personal thoughts openly through singing and embracing individuality.
You can't judge me
Asserting that one cannot be accurately judged.
Though you may try
Acknowledging the possibility of judgment but remaining unaffected by it.
You prey on doubtful hearts and feed on shadowed minds
Describing others who prey on uncertainty and negativity.
I do what I please
Asserting personal freedom to act without constraint.
No matter what you say
Indicating independence from external opinions.
Aint trying to hurt nobody but...
Expressing a lack of intention to harm anyone.
I don't care what you think
Reiterating the indifference to others' opinions with a repeated chorus.
I don't care what you think
-I don't care what you think
-I don't care what you think
-Now you sitting there
Observing someone disapprovingly watching.
With your disapproving stare
Describing a critical and disapproving gaze.
Wasting your time on me
Noting the observer's investment of time in negative judgment.
Trying to cut me down
Facing attempts to criticize and belittle.
Trying to gain a reaction
Recognizing efforts to provoke a response.
But you can't get no satisfaction
Emphasizing that attempts to bring dissatisfaction are unsuccessful.
I don't play that game
Rejecting engagement in manipulative games.
No how, no way
Emphasizing a commitment to personal autonomy.
I'm gonna do what I please
Reiterating the determination to act independently.
No matter what you say
Maintaining resilience against external opinions.
Aint trying to hurt nobody but...
Repeating the lack of intention to cause harm.
I don't care what you think
Reaffirming the indifference to others' judgments.
I don't care what you think
-I don't care what you think
-I don't care what you think
-Now you just sitting there
Observing persistent disapproval from the same individual.
With your disapproving glare
Highlighting a continued critical glare.
Wasting all your time on me
Noting the sustained investment of time in negative judgment.
Trying to cut me down
Facing repeated attempts to criticize and belittle.
You want a reaction
Recognizing a desire to provoke a reaction.
But you can't get no satisfaction
Emphasizing the failure to elicit satisfaction from such attempts.
Aint trying to hurt nobody but...
Repeating the lack of intention to harm despite persistent negativity.
I don't care what you think
Reiterating the indifference to ongoing judgments.
I don't care what you think
-I don't care what you think
-I don't care what you think
