Angel Child
Defying Conformity: Mickey Jas' Anthem of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I don't smoke
I abstain from smoking.
I refrain from drinking alcohol.
I don't do anything in between
I avoid engaging in any activities in between smoking and drinking.
I know I'm such a perfect child
I acknowledge that I am a well-behaved or flawless individual.
They say
People express opinions about me.
I'm weak
There is a perception that I lack strength or resilience.
I do not want to believe that
I am reluctant to accept the idea that I must imitate someone to be adventurous or rebellious.
I have to follow you to be wild
Referring to the reluctance expressed in line 7.
I don't feel the need to be like anybody else
I don't feel compelled to conform to others.
I do this for me yeah I do this for my health
I pursue my actions for my well-being and personal satisfaction.
Can you see that I'm doing just fine
Asserting that the speaker is doing well or thriving.
I don't need you to tell me why
I don't require external validation or reasons for my choices.
I have to drink and get so high
Contrasting the speaker's choices with the expectation to drink excessively or use drugs.
Can you
Challenging someone to perceive or understand.
Just see
Encouraging someone to acknowledge the speaker's perspective.
Where I'm coming from
Asking someone to understand the speaker's background or point of view.
I need
Expressing a need for openness and love from someone.
You to be
Directing the need for openness and love towards a specific person.
Open and loving some
Further emphasizing the need for openness and love.
Oh yeah you peaked in high school
Mocking someone who peaked in high school.
Well take this as my fuck you
Conveying a strong negative sentiment towards someone from high school.
You think that you are so cool
Dismissing someone's belief in their coolness.
Guess what
Revealing a contrary truth about the person being addressed.
You're not
Asserting that the person addressed is not as cool as they think.
I don't feel the need to be like anybody else
Reiteration of the speaker's independence and self-acceptance.
I do this for me yeah I do this for my health
Repeating the speaker's motivation for their actions.
Can you see that I'm doing just fine
Reaffirming that the speaker is doing well without external judgment.
I don't need you to tell me why
Reiterating the speaker's independence from needing explanations or validations.
I have to drink and get so high
Repeating the contrast between the speaker's choices and the expectation to indulge in substance abuse.
