Listen...
I wanna drop out of school
To chase my dreams
But should I drop out of school
Just to chase my dreams
Maybe I could stick it out
It's only a few more years
But at night I toss and turn and I think about
How to save my future self from tears
But I don't need your degree
To help define me
Because I'm gonna make it on my own
Make it on my own
Make it on my own
Make it on my own
Listen...
Ever since I was a young boy
I knew I had to follow what's in my heart
But life just has this funny way of
Making you forget what you had at the start
So you gotta kick, you gotta punch, you gotta scratch, you gotta spit
You gotta kick, you gotta punch, you gotta scratch, you gotta spit
But don't lose your magic boy
Cuz all of these hits
They're just a decoy
So...
You can go and figure it out
Yeah you got all the tools you need
But they'll always say the grass will look greaner
But right now things look pretty grean to me
Cuz life is what you make it
So don't you dare waste it
Cuz everybody makes it on their own
Everybody makes it on their own somehow
We all still got to make it on our own
We all, we all make it on our own
Yeah you and me we all make it on our own
Oh, we all make it on our own
