Get in Line (Badass Version)

Hate me if you want — get in line. Plenty ahead of you, plenty behind.

I don’t flinch, I don’t stare, I don’t lose sleep over your glare. Say my name, spit it twice, I’ve been living with worse advice.

You think I care what you believe? Man, you don’t know what I’ve seen. I paid my dues, I stood my ground, I was done explaining years ago now.

I don’t fight ghosts, I don’t chase noise.

Hate me if you want — Get in line. I ain’t here to be liked, I’m here to live mine. Say it loud, waste your breath, I already made peace with that. So hate me if you want — Get in line.

I’ve been blamed by better men, By weaker ones with louder friends. Funny how opinions fly From people scared to live their life.

You call it cold, I call it clear, I don’t owe comfort to your fear. I learned the truth the hard way: You don’t need approval to stay sane.

I don’t explain, I don’t bend.

Hate me if you want — Get in line. I stopped carrying strangers’ minds. I sleep fine, I stand tall, While you’re still sharpening knives to throw. So hate me if you want — Get in line.

I don’t need to be understood. I need to be left alone.

Some folks need enemies to feel alive, I don’t need that kind of fight. I already survived myself — That was the hardest night.

Hate me if you want — That’s fine. I’ve already been judged by harder times. Say my name, draw the line, I’ll still be walking mine. So hate me if you want — Get in line.
