High Road (feat. John Legend)

Let's go, y'all!

 These people are running off at the mouth
 Tryna convince me that I'm running on empty
 Tryna 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 'em out for the masses
 You assholes are gonna see soon that I'm not playing
 And start asking me the names that I'm not saying
 But I'm tryna 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 patience
 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 (yeah, yo)
 But it's not gonna work today (not gonna work today)
 You people are running off at the mouth
 Tryna make me take myself off safety
 Tryna 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, 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
 And 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 (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 (yeah)
 Is anybody out there listening?
 'Cause I can't stand to keep this in
 All I really want, I'll say again, 'gain, 'gain (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 (not gonna work today)
