[Intro: Machine Gun Kelly]
This is just a real song, you know
MGK, Rock City, let's go!
Hey (DJ E-V)
[Chorus: Rock City & Machine Gun Kelly]
They said I've been wrong for way too long (Oh)
I wish they would leave me alone
They said I ain't strong and I can't hold on
I wish they would leave me alone (Yeah)
He said, she said, that I'm wanted by the law
I wish they would leave me alone
And ain't no wanted man gonna get too far
I wish they would leave me alone (Yeah)
[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]
I never would've thought as a kid dreamin' to record (Then what?)
That I would've went through more ups and downs than a seesaw (Nah)
But this a grown man's world, so you need balls
Million and one problems, the fuck you bitchin' at me for?
Bruh, but what you eat doesn't make me shit
So no matter what, I'ma make these hits
'Cause hatin' on you couldn't make me rich
So I gotta, gotta go get that dollar and the fifteen cents
But the profit don't equal the rent
Shit, I'm a father, I gotta feed my kids
And I wish that I could say I had fifteen friends
Who happy to see my success and don't want a piece of my ends
'Cause what they don't understand is I'm strugglin' just like them (Why?)
I just pray that my story is gon' be happy in the end (Wassup?)
[Chorus: Rock City & Machine Gun Kelly]
They said I've been wrong for way too long (Yeah)
I wish they would leave me alone
They said I ain't strong and I can't hold on (What?)
I wish they would leave me alone (Come on)
He said, she said (The what?), that I'm wanted by the law
I wish they would leave me alone (Oh)
And ain't no wanted man gonna get too far
I wish they would leave me alone (Come on)
[Verse 2: Machine Gun Kelly]
And I pray for happiness in these sad times
Hope someday my life will bubble like it's bath time (What else?)
Maybe somewhere countin' numbers like it's math time
So I gotta grind, no breaks, fuck halftime
I've had a job since fourteen
Pushin' carts, fast food, scrubbin' floors, yeah, I've done the whole thing (Damn)
But I was fed up, couldn't just work for anybody (No)
And I guess it's true what they say, school's not for everybody
I'm just a dropout, nineteen with no hope
But my notebook front to back is full of big dreams of SoHo
And I don't know, how to answer my girl when she ask
"When you gonna work and leave this music in the past?"
I don't know (I don't know)
[Chorus: Rock City & Machine Gun Kelly]
They said I've been wrong for way too long
I wish they would leave me alone (Oh)
They said I ain't strong and I can't hold on (No)
I wish they would leave me alone
He said, she said (The what?), that I'm wanted by the law (Yeah)
I wish they would leave me alone (Come on)
And ain't no wanted man gonna get too far
I wish they would leave me alone (Yeah)
[Verse 3: Machine Gun Kelly]
If it is what I ask for, a little money in my pocket and a passport
But I never knew that it would come with the price
Of a hundred people hatin' on me
Now I gotta wear a mask or just fast forward
'Cause the internet thug in this city wanna see you fail (Yeah)
But if you rewind (Yeah), know I've been through hell (Yeah)
So no matter what, I will prevail (Yeah), that's all
My father (Yeah) or my daughter or myself and all my team (What up?)
And these labels couldn't change me either, not one thing
See, the streets want me to thug, and corporate America thinks I'm priceless
If I remove the curse and live my life like Miley Cyrus
But I'm none of that (None of that), fuck that (Fuck that)
The money couldn't change me (No)
Still the underdog, still the kid, it's the same me
Came from the bottom on my own
And I did it as MGK, fuck off and leave me alone
I'm gone
[Chorus: Rock City, Machine Gun Kelly & Both]
They said I've been wrong for way too long (Yeah)
I wish they would leave me alone
They said I ain't strong and I can't hold on
I wish they would leave me alone
(Just understand)
He said, she said, that I'm wanted by the law
(That no matter what y'all say)
I wish they would leave me alone
(I'ma still be me at the end of the day, you know)
And ain't no wanted man gonna get too far
(And I really took this from the bottom to the top)
I wish they would leave me alone (On my own)
[Outro: Machine Gun Kelly]
So respect the hustle and let me live
Kells, yeah
