Don't you... don't you worry ‘bout a thing
And any turn that life will bring
‘Cause you're on the road of gold
And your character will mold
Into a crown
I'm used to being laughed at
Petrified to pull my kimchi from my backpack
So I settled for mystery meat and flapjacks
Santing to fit in, I underachieved in math class
Huh? Adolescent insecurities
Shiny placard on the interstate -- nothing new
Man, I thought I drove past that at 22
But surely it followed me, I see it from my rearview
Man, I just wanted a simple life
Never asked to touch lives or touch the mic
I was told that I was wielding a katana so I had to quit
Holding it just as a butter knife, right?
Complications. how much longer can I hold on?
These character assassinations have been prolonged
Tired of defending my vocation with a prologue
Can't take the heat; I want to leave, I need just to cool off
Don't you... don't you worry ‘bout a thing
And any turn that life will bring
‘Cause you're on the road of gold
And your character will mold
Into a crown
I don't really know why I'm this way
I don't know why I am not okay
Paper thin, the state of all my parts
Fold and rip me up, and can you see my scars
It's taken me a long time to put ‘em up
All the walls coverin' the true me, yup
So the me that is currently in front of you
A projection, hidden from the true blue
But I want to get better
So I'm trying to write down all my true letters
Vulnerable to even more pain
But I'm trying to have faith, that to die is gain, so…
Don't you... don't you worry ‘bout a thing
And any turn that life will bring
‘Cause you're on the road of gold
And your character will mold
Into a crown
‘Cause I want to get stronger
And I want to get better
And I want to go further
I want to be free from the fetters
So this is my plea
I'm trying to find a way to new me
Dying to my own self
Maybe that's good for my health, so.
Don't you... don't you worry ‘bout a thing
And any turn that life will bring
‘Cause you're on the road of gold
And your character will mold
Into a crown
