My Own Way
Navigating Life's Maze: Ibe LaFlaunty's Journey in 'My Own Way'
Lyrics
Living my life, trying to make my own way
Expressing the desire to live life on one's own terms, seeking independence.
No I cannot just stay in one place
Resistance to staying in a fixed or stagnant situation; a yearning for movement and change.
Told you to go, but I want you to stay
Conflicting emotions – advising someone to leave, yet secretly wanting them to stay.
I'm so caught up my minds in a race
Feeling mentally overwhelmed, possibly due to internal conflicts or external pressures.
Roll up a blunt and I smoke all the Pain
Using substance (blunt) to cope with emotional pain.
Really hoping your feelings don't change
Hoping for emotional constancy, fearing a change in the other person's feelings.
You say that you love me it drives me insane
Feeling disturbed or driven to extremes by the intensity of love professed by someone.
Yeah you know it's gon' drive me Insane

I noticed yeah and I noticed
Acknowledging awareness of the situation or issues.
Niggas player hating just stay focused
Advising to ignore those who envy or resent, suggesting focus on personal goals.
Everyday a struggle it ain't roses
Highlighting life's difficulties, emphasizing the absence of constant happiness.
We're not the only ones that goes through all of this
Asserting that challenges are universal; others experience similar struggles.
And I'm about it I ride in a tank
Expressing readiness for challenges, using a tank as a metaphor for strength.
Roll it up bitch I smoke on that dank
Indulging in recreational drug use, specifically smoking marijuana.
I do not give a fuck what you think
Displaying indifference towards others' opinions, prioritizing personal beliefs.
They was hating I laughed to the bank
Responding positively to negativity, finding humor in others' hatred.
Run it up bitch I feel like a Saint
Emphasizing success and wealth, feeling elevated like a saint.
She love Ibe bitch I'm making her faint
Boasting about personal appeal and influence on others.
Thinking he me but he really just ain't
Recognizing that someone imitates but falls short of the speaker's qualities.
I gave you my love and it faded away
Expressing disappointment in a past relationship where love faded away.
My own way, my own way
Repetition of the desire to live life independently, asserting autonomy.
I'll have it my own way
Claiming the right to have things in one's preferred manner.
