Made Of What You Say Part 2 by Shan

You’re making it sound like you knew me before I was in the womb
Is this free tarot reading? If so, if I get married, who will be my groom?
Are you saying that your words formed WHO I am today?
Break it down. Explain the meaning behind I’m made of what you say.
Your text didn’t come together and form my limbs or my body parts
I never heard of such talk. Dude, you’re like way off the chart.
I make my own decisions, I make my own choices
I may not be done expressing my view but just as long as I voiced it

You aren’t a supernatural being, so how am I yours?
You aren’t the one who is able to open and shut doors
You aren’t alpha and omega, the beginning and the end
You aren’t the first and the last, you aren’t the MAN among men
You didn’t make me so you can’t break me
To see you go all high and mighty on me, disturbs me greatly
Like two rams, I don’t care if we have to bump heads
I’m not the one at fault here. You should’ve taken your meds.
You can make demands and give orders until you sweat
You’ll get the hint after you’ve realized your face is all wet

I hear you name every mistake that I’ve made, it's your game,
I see your aim is to never let me forget I’m not going your way,
I hold no regrets, so remember what’s said as I walk away,
I’m gunna make it, I’m not made of what you say, if you think life is over-rated,
to me it's all the same, but I pace it, I take it as it comes to past,
I never hold a moment, knowing none of them will last

I mean, come on man. Worry about you, I can take care of me.
You’ve got enough issues of your own to keep yourself busy
You don’t see me meddling with your life do you?
And don’t shake your head yes, because you know what’s true
You try so hard to slow me down and have my view obstructed
My life was going smooth until you attempted to interrupt it
But the only time you’ll get to compose my life is in your dreams
I used to stomach your words until you took them to the extreme
Now I gotta retort, now I gotta have the last say so
You shook the good girl outta me, therefore, absent is my halo
