[Fort Minor, John Legend - High Road lyrics]
Let's go, ya'll
These people are running off at the mouth
Trying to convince me that
I'm running on empty
Trying to convince themselves
That the record with Jay was a fluke
That the record that I'm making is a mistake
And I can't take this
Let me tell you where I'm at with this
You bastards are gonna have to
Take back that shit i'm not plastic and fake
When I make tracks
I take facts and lay them out for the masses
You assholes are gonna see soon
That I'm not playing
Start asking me the names that I'm not saying
But I'm trying to be
Bigger than the bickering
Bigger than the petty name calling
Under-the-breath talking
Rumors and labels and categorization
I'm like a struggling doctor, no patients
But you can say what you want about me
Keep talking while I'm walking away (Bitches)
You can say what you have to say
'Cause my mind's made up, anyway
I'm taking the high road going above you
This is the last time that
I'm gonna trust you
You can say what you have to say
'Cause my mind's made up anyway
All that bullshit you talk might work a lot
But it's not gonna work, today
You people are running off at the mouth
Trying to make me take myself off safety
Trying to make my friends turn their backs
On the team we built
Building up some mistaken information
And I can't take this
Let me spell it out plain for you
Angry groups complain about the things we do
I'm not changing direction
I'm stepping my game up
Maintaining my name, the same way I came up
You're gonna see that I'm
Not playing And Start
Asking me the names that I'm not saying
But I'm trying not to mention
The names of people
Who wanna siphon attention, you like the hype
But pretending you're part of
The picture won't pass
You're like a high school dropout, no class
You can say what you want about me
Keep talking while I'm walking away (Bitch)
You can say what you have to say
'Cause my mind's made up, anyway
I'm taking the high road going above you
This is the last time that
I'm gonna trust you
You can say what you have to say
'Cause my mind's made up anyway
All that bullshit you talk might work a lot
But it's not gonna work, today
Why does it always have to be
Somebody's always watching me
All I really need is some
Room to breathe, breathe, breathe
Is anybody out there, listening?
'Cause I can't stand to keep this in
All I really want, I'll say it again, yeah
Yeah (Like that)
You can say what you have to say
'Cause my mind's made up, anyway
I'm taking the high road going above you
This is the last time that
I'm gonna trust you
You can say what you have to say
'Cause my mind's made up anyway
All that bullshit you talk might work a lot
But it's not gonna work, today
These people are running off at the mouth
Trying to convince me that
