I'm doing nothing
'Cos then at least I'm doing nothing wrong
And I'm go'n staying on my own
And turn off my telephone
But nothing's gained, nothing's won
 
Yeah, you can tell them
Yeah, you can say whatever
I don't care, yeah
And if you wanna play it cool
Then I got news for you
It's getting hotter, hotter in here
 
So, when I speak, listen
This is my decision
And you keep on messing up the words (oh, oh, oh)
So, when I speak, listen
'Cos you keep on pushing
Like I need permission to be heard (oh, oh, oh)
I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher
I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher
So, when I speak, listen
This is my decision
And you keep on messing up the words
 
It's getting closer
I'm moving in and, yeah, I think you know
'Cos I am sick of playing games
And I'm not go'n say no names
But you and I know who to blame
 
So, you can tell 'em
Yeah, you can go ahead and put it straight
'Cos I am finishing myself
And I do not need your help
I'm gonna do this tonight
 
So, when I speak, listen
This is my decision
And you keep on messing up the words (oh, oh, oh)
So, when I speak, listen
'Cos you keep on pushing
Like I need permission to be heard (oh, oh, oh)
I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher
I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher
So, when I speak, listen
This is my decision
And you keep on messing up the words
 
I'm gonna lift it, lift it 
When you go higher I go higher
I'm gonna lift it, lift it 
Yeah, you can try but I go higher
I'm gonna lift it, lift it 
The only thing, boy, that you can do is listen
So listen

So, when I speak, listen 
This is my decision, (yeah, yeah)
And you keep on messing up the words (oh, oh, oh) 
So, when I speak, listen
'Cos you keep on pushing
Like I need permission to be heard (oh, oh, oh)
I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher
I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher
So, when I speak, listen
This is my decision
And you keep on messing up the words
