Lyrics
Say What You Want (Do Wap Remix)
A. X. Run this back
I stopped asking who they wanted me to be, ooh
Turns out the room already liked me
I don't dress it up, sha la la, don't dim the light
Same woman in the day, ooh, as I am at night
Say what you heard, doo wop doo wah, say what you assume
I'm still gonna walk the same way in the room
Say what you want, ooh, I already know who I am
Talk keeps moving, sha la la, I ain't holding it in my hand
One life, no rewind, ooh, so I move like it's mine
Say what you want, doo wop doo wah, I'm not asking permission this time
I used to shrink, ooh, to fit somebody's frame
Now I take up space, sha la la, and I say my own name
Not chasing quiet, doo wop doo wah, just to keep the peace
I'd rather be real than easy to please
Say what you want, ooh, I already know who I am
Talk keeps moving, sha la la, I ain't holding it in my hand
One life, no rewind, ooh, so I move like it's mine
Say what you want, doo wop doo wah, I'm not asking permission this time
I ain't running from what people think, I just don't stop to listen
Every version of me before this one, I built it, I'm not missing
One shot at this, no dress rehearsal, no do over coming
So I move like today's the only proof that I was ever running
I don't owe nobody comfort for the space that I take
Every step I'm taking now is one I chose to make
Not sorry, not shrinking, not asking who's okay with it
I already decided who I am, I'm just living in it
Lead: Let them talk
Group: ooh, let her talk
Lead: I'll still be standing right here
Group: sha la la, right here
Lead: Let them stare
Group: ooh, let them stare
Lead: I've been myself for years
Group: doo wop doo wah, for years
Say what you want, ooh, I already know who I am
Talk keeps moving, sha la la, I ain't holding it in my hand
One life, no rewind, ooh, so I move like it's mine
Say what you want, doo wop doo wah, I'm not asking permission this time
Say what you want, ooh
That's not my problem, sha la la
Say what you want, ooh
I already solved it, doo wop doo wah, fade out
