Lyrics
Do you want to fight me, I'm ready
Expressing readiness for a confrontation
I'll test your strength hold steady
Challenging someone to prove their strength
Stand on the sidelines betting
Observing from the sidelines, possibly referring to others watching the situation
Or you could just leave
Suggesting the option to avoid the conflict by leaving
I've been through shit and I came out strong
Claiming resilience after facing challenges
Some say that I turned out wrong
Addressing criticism or judgment about personal choices
Until now I've been letting them have a hold on me, now I say
Acknowledging a past influence but declaring independence
Welcome to my life
Inviting others to experience and understand the artist's life
This is who I am
Asserting identity and self-acceptance
If I'm not what you like
Indicating indifference to others' preferences
I don't give a damn
Emphasizing a lack of concern for opinions
Oooh
Expression, possibly conveying emotion
Welcome to my life
Reiteration of welcoming others into the artist's life
This is who I am
Restating the artist's identity
If I'm not what you like
Reiterating indifference to others' preferences
I don't give a damn
Reemphasizing the lack of concern for opinions
Do you want to test me, I dare you
Challenging someone to confront the artist
Oh yeah I mean to scare you
Expressing intent to intimidate or evoke fear
I've been so nice for so long
Reflecting on a history of being kind
I should prepare you for
Preparing others for a change in the artist's demeanor
A tougher tone out of my sweet mouth
Describing a shift to a more assertive attitude
She's gone off the rails no doubt
Suggesting a departure from expected behavior
You can guess where I've been now, ha
Hinting at experiences that led to the current state
Welcome to my life
Repeating the invitation to understand the artist's life
This is who I am
Reaffirming the artist's identity
If I'm not what you like
Reiterating indifference to others' preferences
I don't give a damn
Reemphasizing the lack of concern for opinions
Oooh
Expression, possibly conveying emotion
Welcome to my life
Repeating the welcoming theme
This is who I am
Restating the artist's identity
If I'm not what you like
Reiterating indifference to others' preferences
I don't give a damn
Reemphasizing the lack of concern for opinions
Oooh
Expression, possibly conveying emotion
I see them judging over there
Noticing judgment from others
But I'm just like
Asserting similarity despite judgment
Welcome to my life
Repeating the invitation to understand the artist's life
This is who I am
Restating the artist's identity
If I'm not what you like
Reiterating indifference to others' preferences
I don't give a
Continuation of indifference, possibly cut off for emphasis
What
Expression, possibly conveying frustration or intensity
Damn
Reiterating the lack of concern for opinions
This is who I am
Restating the artist's identity
If I'm not what you like
Reiterating indifference to others' preferences
I don't give a damn
Reemphasizing the lack of concern for opinions
This is who I am
Reaffirming the artist's identity
I don't give a damn
Emphasizing a lack of concern for opinions
If I'm not what you like
Reiterating indifference to others' preferences
I don't give a damn
Final assertion of indifference to opinions
