I heard my teacher say that I'd be better offIf I just took what I've been givenThey say I never know what to doUnless I'm toldI feel underestimated, so unaccounted forThen you want to call me to your office right after schoolAnd tell me your version of my future[chorus]But let's take all the frames off the wallsI wanna see one diploma that says "you can read the stars"Don't talk me out of itDon't talk me out of itIt's my life, don't talk me out of my lifeIt's my lifeI used to put an apple on ms. jacob's desk,But she never liked meShe said I'm gon' fail, no matter what I giveShe said 'cause my skin wasn't light enoughTuition wasn't high enoughI couldn't understand just what I did.So underestimated, you left me unaccounted forNow you want to me your version of my future.[chorus x2]But let's take all the frames off the wallsI wanna see one diploma that says "you can read the stars"Don't talk me out of itDon't talk me out of itIt's my life, don't talk me out of my lifeIt's my lifeJust tell me howYou're much better than me nowYou tore me down till there was nothing leftLook at me, look at me, look at me, look at me,I'm still standingLook at meLook at me now, look me in my eyes[chorus x2]But let's take all the frames off the wallsI wanna see one diploma that says "you can read the stars"Don't talk me out of itDon't talk me out of itIt's my life, don't talk me out of my lifeIt's my lifeIt's my lifeIt's my life
