Dean Tyler K - Rules

Why is there a set of rules for everything that happens in life?
Nothing can be done without a hand to walk you through it
A way to write, a way to sing, a way not to do everything
But what if I didn't have to be told, what if I just knew it?

I'm not tall enough, I'm not in time
My words don't mean anything without a perfect rhyme
It's hard to share your work without the fear of rejection
You have to fit the mold to fit their image of perfection

No, that's not me

I don't need your textbooks
I don't need straight hair
I don't need instructions
I don't need your written laws
I just need to break the rules and just do me

Artists these days don’t care about the lyrics
They just care about the beat not singing what they're feeling
So what do I gotta do just bang a bass drum and sing about drugs or something else dumb, no

That's not me

So if I get success and fame and notoriety
I'm not gonna do it by the rules of someone else's stupid game
Lead with my soul and lead with my mind
What I feel is what I write, it creates a better vibe

Nobody can't tell me that I'm doing is wrong cause
What is right and what is wrong?
Where does it come from?
I don't aim for what's right
I just do what's true to me
Then hopefully you'll see
Right through, inside of me

I don't need a romance
I don't need to be tall
I don't need your advice
I don't need your point of view
I just need to break the rules and just do me

Why can't we open up our eyes
To what's behind this world's disguise
Desensitized
Unrecognized
Zombified
By what's televised, no
No, that's not me

I don't need negativity
I don't need your shade
I don't need your input
I don't need your rules...

I don’t need your point of view
And I don’t need your auto tune
I don’t need your advice
And I don’t need your help

I just need to break the rules and just…
And just..
Do me
