MkX - Overprotected

Copied!

(action!)

{verse 1}
Say hello to the man that i am
You're gonna have to see through my perspective
I need to make mistakes just to learn who i am
And i don't wanna be so damn protected

{pre-chorus}
There must be another way
‘cause i believe in taking chances
But who am i to say what a boy is to do
God i need some answers

{chorus}
What am i to do to win my life?
(you will find it out, don't worry)
How am i supposed to know what's right?
(you just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way i feel
But my life has been so overprotected

{verse 2}
I'll tell 'em what i like, what i want, and what i don't
But every time i do i stand corrected
Things that i've been told
I can't believe what i hear about the world
I realize i'm overprotected

{pre-chorus}
There must be another way
'cause i believe in taking chances
But who am i to say what a boy is to do
God i need some answers

{chorus}
What am i to do to win my life?
(you will find it out, don't worry)
How am i supposed to know what's right?
(you just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way i feel
But my life has been so overprotected

{bridge}
I need time, love
I need space
(this is it!)
I don't need nobody telling me just what i wanna
What i, what, what, what i'm gonna (i need)
Do about my destiny
(i say no, no)
Nobody's telling me just what i wanna (do, do)
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me
(action!)

{chorus}
What am i to do to win my life?
(you will find it out, don't worry)
How am i supposed to know what's right?
(you just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way i feel
But my life has been so overprotected

{bridge}
I don't need nobody telling me just what i wanna
What i, what, what, what i'm gonna (i need)
Do about my destiny
(i say no, no)
Nobody's telling me just what i wanna (do, do)
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me

{chorus}
What am i to do to win my life?
(you will find it out, don't worry)
How am i supposed to know what's right?
(you just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way i feel
But my life has been so overprotected

Biography

edit bio

Transforming the outlandish concepts inside his brain into fully realized productions using a laptop and microphone, multi-instrumentalist/songwriter/producer MkX is quickly emerging as a fresh, innovative pop trendsetter. Juxtaposing electronic, R&B, future bass and trap production with dynamic and infectious rhythmic pop songwriting, the Boston based artist is building an intense buzz with the five singles he has dropped over the last two years.

MkX’s music is the foundation and driving force of an overall self-branded vision that includes a unique and eye-catching fashion style he describes as “blending nostalgia with hi-tech futurism.”

“The ‘X’ in my name represents confidence & self-expression through art. I used to be very self-conscious of what people thought of me. I decided to create a character that embodied everything I wanted to be as an artist and a person. After a lot of work & self-discovery, I eventually became that person. I want people to use my music to bring out their inner confidence, or ‘X’, changing the way they carry themselves. I want them to feel like a bad-ass as they walk down the street with my song playing through their headphones. I want to make people the best them they can be with my art.”

Aside from his solo project releases, MkX is also writing and producing for other artists. He co-wrote (with Kim Petras) and produced the track “Young & Wild” for K-Pop group TWICE, which appeared on their platinum selling #1 EP “YES or YES”.
