At twenty-two  years old they're telling me 
I'll never make it on my own
That I should  leave it all behind and let it go
Let the industry decide my tomorrow
But I can feel it and I know I'm getting close 
I stand on stage with people singing words I wrote
I feel the music make it's way throughout the doors
So if I gave it all up now I'll never know

You know that I can't be anybody else
I feel better when I know myself
You keep telling me I need your help
I won't ever need your help
No, I'll never need your help

At twenty-two years old 
To just under a year to prove them wrong
Now they decide they wanna listen to my songs
And take the credit for what I've already done
But everything I've done so far I've done alone
Now they left at leaving miscalls on my phone
Trying to cut in line for tickets to my show
I guess I knew I had it in me all along 

You know that I can't be anybody else
I feel better when I know myself
You keep telling me I need your help
I won't ever need your help
No, I'll never need your help

(No I'll never need your help)

(No I'll never need your help)

I was told when I was thirteen I could do things
I just couldn't seem to believe 'til they met me
That's when I'd retreat to my dreams where I'd see things 
Others couldn't see through a beat pen and poetry

Now I know I grieve for a reason 
Now I know I write from the minds of a teacher
I used to watch the sheep as they wait for a leader
Now I guess they found out who I am

You know that I can't be anybody else
I feel better when I know myself
You keep telling me I need your help
I won't ever need your help

You know that I can't be anybody else
I feel better when I know myself
You keep telling me I need your help
I won't ever need your help
No, I'll never need your help
No, I'll never need your help
