Lyrics
 | I write these stupid words The lyrics for this song are incomplete or missing. Can you help us fill them in? If so, we encourage you to make a move! |
I'm on my own
I'm living free
I'll never care what others say about me
I'm gonna win
???
I will remain when others fall on their ass
You can't fade me
Never haters(?)
Mass destruction
??? down
Look at me
What have you done?
Where are you compared to what I have done?
I'm going up
When you are so down
I am the mastermind, and you are the clown
Temperamental
Yes, you know it
I have feelings
I have guts
You can go now
Catch you nowhere
I have feelings
I have ???
