[Verse 1] Why you gotta treat me like Im a low down dirty Climbin up on thirty Dress like a kid to make me feel young punk And talk junk You musta fell out of your bunk And smacked your head Or your face or somethin [Chorus] I dont need nobody flyin in my jet stream Take the bus Go on and get yourself your own dream Cuz this is my own life keepin me down Where I wanna be in my private nation Im alone all thinkin lifes a phone call Here for just a while when in my private nation You can ride or you can go [Verse 2] Why you gonna step on shoes When you dont know whose been in em Have you ever been more than a bump On a rock that likes to roll In the middle of a soup bowl in the sky Use your eyes Its all you got till you die [Chorus] [Bridge] You can ride on, it aint free Leave a light on, so you can see How to get back when you go How to get, how to give How to make ends meet How to lose, how to win How to stay on the seat How to use momentum make the two wheels straight How to wait after it feels like you waited so long [Chorus] [Outro] This is my own life keepin me down Where I wanna be in my private nation Im alone all thinkin lifes a phone call Here for just a while when in my private nation You can ride on, it aint free Leave a light on, so you can see How to get back
