Everybody looking for the quick ride
The secrets to the spotlight
But nobody wanna do the time
They waiting on someone to take em sky high
Sitting on the other side, pretend to live the high life
Who wants to listen
To the ones who need validation
I want to listen
To the ones who don't need
Validation
I gave up impressing
The need for acceptance
I threw away all the nonsense
Said hold up and do my thing
No mistakes, just lessons,
It takes progression
The answer to the question
Don't act like no one but me
Cause I don't need, I don't need, I don't need no Validation
No I don't need, I don't need, I don't need no Validation
Everybody looking for their self worth
Like its an object to find, somebody's got it outside
So let me tell you now you got it backwards
If you're following the wrong signs, you're gonna get lost everytime
Who wants to listen
To the ones who need validation
I want to listen
To the ones who don't need
Validation
I gave up impressing
The need for acceptance
I threw away all the nonsense
Said hold up and do my thing
No mistakes, just lessons,
It takes progression
The answer to the question
Don't act like no one but me
