chorus
Cos then at least I'm doing nothing wrong
And I'm gon' stay in on my own
And turn off my telephone
If nothing's gained and nothing's won
Yeah you can say whatever I don't care
And if you wanna play it cool
It's getting hotter, hotter in here
And you keep on messing up the words
Like I need permission to be heard
I'm gonna lift it lift it higher
I'm gonna lift it lift it higher
And you keep on messing up the words
chorus
Yeah you can go ahead and prove your strength
Cause I am finishing myself and I do not need your help,
I'm gonna do it, do it right
And you keep on messing up the words
Like I need permission to be heard
I'm gonna lift it lift it higher
I'm gonna lift it lift it higher
And you keep on messing up the words
verse
She said I'm messing up the words
But this ain't what I heard
Tryn'a push me to the curb
When I'm leaving she be tripping
Tryna listen to the broad
Sayin' I got a feeling like she's speaking to the wall
No understanding shawty demanding
Got my head in her bandage
I'll be taking the bandage
And you keep on messing up the words
Like I need permission to be heard
I'm gonna lift it lift it higher
I'm gonna lift it lift it higher
And you keep on messing up the words
