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 ???
