Lyrics
Let me start by saying no
Expressing refusal or disagreement right from the beginning.
I will not do what you ask of me
Declining a request or demand.
I won’t dress the way you think I should
Rejecting societal expectations regarding clothing choices.
And I’m not your fucking Barbie
Rejecting the idea of being controlled or manipulated like a doll.
I will color out the lines
Choosing to be unconventional, not confined by norms.
And drive 120 on the free way
Embracing freedom and taking risks, symbolized by speeding on the freeway.
It’s either my way or the highway
Asserting independence, insisting on doing things one's way.
And I won’t listen to a word you say, yeah
Ignoring advice or criticism, maintaining autonomy.
You always saying what you think I should be
Addressing external expectations and judgments.
Who you think I should be
Questioning imposed ideals of identity.
Don’t really know the real real me
Highlighting the difficulty in understanding the true self.
I think that makes you kinda sad
Suggesting that the speaker's authenticity saddens others.
I think you getting kinda mad
Noting the frustration or anger of those who misunderstand.
No, no to your judgement
Rejecting judgment from others.
No to the bullshit
Refusing to tolerate falsehood or insincerity.
And no to convent
Saying no to conformity or traditional expectations.
And you got me saying no
Repeating the refusal to be controlled or influenced.
No to this heart ache
Rejecting emotional pain or heartbreak.
No to the trump slaves
Rejecting blind obedience or submission to authority.
I’m me and don’t give a shit
Affirming individuality and a lack of concern for others' opinions.
Let me start by saying no
Reiterating the initial refusal.
I don’t wanna take a picture
Rejecting the desire to conform for the sake of appearance.
I don’t wanna fake smile for the camera now
Expressing fatigue and unwillingness to fake happiness.
I’m fucking tired and my cheeks hurt
Physical exhaustion conveyed through cheek pain.
Feel like I’m running out of time
Sense of urgency, feeling time slipping away.
My Kobe year is getting closer
Referring to a significant age (24) and the expectations attached.
Thought that my face be on a poster by now
Expecting recognition or fame that has not materialized.
But you wouldn’t fucking know that, right ?
Challenging others who may not acknowledge the speaker's struggles.
You always saying what you think I should be
Revisiting external expectations and societal pressures.
Who you think I should be
Questioning the imposed ideals of identity again.
Don’t really know the real real me
Reiterating the difficulty in understanding the true self.
I think makes you kinda sad
Suggesting that the speaker's authenticity continues to sadden others.
I think you getting kinda mad
Noting ongoing frustration or anger from those who misunderstand.
No, no to your judgement
Persisting in rejecting external judgment.
No to the bullshit
Continuing to refuse tolerance for falsehood or insincerity.
And no to convent
Repeating the rejection of conformity or traditional expectations.
And you got me saying no
Reaffirming the refusal to be controlled or influenced.
No to this heart ache
Reiterating the rejection of emotional pain or heartbreak.
No to the trump slaves
Reaffirming the rejection of blind obedience or submission to authority.
I’m me and don’t give a shit
Affirming individuality and a lack of concern for others' opinions once again.
