[extended instrumental intro] [verse] You say that I should leave you alone You say I need to try on my own And I should give up Give up Give up You say I can't put food on the table You say my creativity isn't stable And I should give up Give up Give up [chorus] But what if I succeed? And what if I make money? -- What if I can pay my rent? What if you were wrong? -- And what if this is fun? And what if it all works out? What if you were wrong? What if you were wrong? [funky lazers] [verse] You say I'm gonna crash and burn You say I'm never gonna learn And I should give up Give up Give up You say it's gonna end in disaster I'm never gonna be a master And I should give up Give up Give up [bridge] You're so damn fake You're so confused You're not my dog You're not my dude You and your mans Are not my crew I've been around I've paid my dues You're not my fam You're not my blood [chorus][reprise] But what if I succeed? And what if I make money? -- What if I can pay my rent? What if you were wrong? -- And what if this is fun? And what if it all works out? What if you were wrong? What if you were wrong? [outro][whispered] (You say I should give up) (uhh ahh)
