Talking about nothing

You would ever say to my face

You think your words are Gospel

But they’re only trouble

I ain’t got the time to waste

You need to get a life

Cause life’s too short

You must be bored out your mind

You should really take that nonsense somewhere else

Cause you’ve got to realize

I’m doing me regardless

And I don’t care what you say about it

And it don’t matter if you like it or not

I’m having all this fun so

Why would I ever stop

Doing me regardless

No I don’t care what you say about it

And Imma do it any way that I want

I’m having all this fun so

Why would I ever stop

Some people are so mean

All behind a phone screen

When we’re tryna live our lives

Why you gotta be so vicious

Be about your business

‘stead of getting up in mine

You need to get a life

Cause life’s too short

You must be bored out your mind

You should really take that nonsense somewhere else

Cause you’ve got to realize

I’m doing me regardless

And I don’t care what you say about it

And it don’t matter if you like it or not

I’m having all this fun so

Why would I ever stop

Doing me regardless

No I don’t care what you say about it

And Imma do it any way that I want

I’m having all this fun so

Why would I ever stop

Doing me regardless

Doing me regardless

Why would I ever stop

Oh well, it won’t turn your glitter into gold

So why

Are you wasting your time?

You should find some better seeds to sow

They might grow one day but

Either way

I’m doing me regardless

And I don’t care what you say about it

And it don’t matter if you like it or not

I’m having all this fun so

Why would I ever stop

Doing me regardless

No I don’t care what you say about it

And Imma do it any way that I want

I’m having all this fun so

Why would I ever stop

Doing me regardless (Life’s Too Short)

Doing me regardless (Life’s Too Short)

Why would I ever stop

Doing me regardless

Doing me regardless
