Don't Worry 'Bout Me
Navigating Life's Turbulence: Empowerment in Violent Way's 'Don't Worry 'Bout Me'
Lyrics
Another early day, I'll watch it rot away
Starting another day early, witnessing it decay without progress.
Bruised and cut, up to my face
Physically injured, evident on my face.
This is all you got now
My current situation is all I possess.
It won't get easier now
No expectation of things becoming easier from here.
Breaking my back for a lousy wage
Working strenuously for minimal pay.
That's ok, I chose this way
Accepting this path I've chosen despite difficulties.
Shut that mouth, stay in your lane
Advocating for staying silent and maintaining focus on one's own affairs.
Figure out what's right
Seeking to determine the correct course of action.
I control this life
Believing in my ability to dictate the course of my life.
Only I know what I need
Asserting that only I am aware of what I truly require.
Don't you worry 'bout me
Encouraging others not to concern themselves with my situation.
I got what I need
Assuring that I possess all that is necessary.
Don't you worry 'bout me
Reiterating the message not to worry about me.
Don't you worry 'bout me
Repeated assurance not to fret about my circumstances.
I got what I need
Reaffirming that I have everything essential.
Don't you worry 'bout me
Continued reassurance not to be concerned about my well-being.
I got what I need
Emphasizing that I have what I require.
I'll figure out what's right
Reiterating the quest to discern the right path.
I control this life
Restating the belief in personal control over life.
Only I know what I need
Reaffirming the claim that only I understand my true necessities.
