You (feat. Travis Barker)

(Fighting, living, dying)
 (For what?)
 (For freedom)
 (That's what which men have fought since time began)
 (To be free)
 They be making blanket statements, scaring everyone
 They be making you feel like you never did belong
 Yeah he said that she said, yeah, they say a lot
 So many things they just think you forgot
 Who you are and what you do and where you coming from
 I just thought I could remind you with this simple song
 No bad body language can start to rebuff
 To we're choosing weapons and hatred, no love
 Not you
 You are in the wilderness
 Looking for your own purpose
 And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
 I knew you always would
 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones
 But words can never break your bones
 You just spread your
 Wings and fly, wings and fly
 I knew you always would
 I knew you always would
 I knew there always was
 Nothing wrong with being you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
 All you ever see, don't see it in our enemies
 Telling you to lose your individuality
 Look, do this and do that
 'Til you've lost your way
 'Til you need a vice or a means of escape
 They want you to stare into your screen and see yourself
 Blow smoke into your mirror 'til you're mentally unwell
 So don't let them catch you with lies and deceit
 They can't take your soul or desire for freedom
 You
 You are in the wilderness
 Looking for your own purpose
 And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
 I knew you always would
 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones
 But words will never break your bones
 You just spread your
 Wings and fly, wings and fly
 I knew you always would
 I knew you always would
 I knew there always was nothing wrong with being you
 Who said
 I wanna be, I'm gonna be
 Everything they said I couldn't be
 Everything that I said I would be
 When I picked up a pen and I started to speak
 I hear the beat, my melody
 I just pour all my of heart in these sheets
 I could not just be a star in the street
 Man, I knew what was different, I had a belief
 Nowhere to live, nothing to eat
 You were so hungry that you couldn't sleep
 You couldn't breathe, I couldn't be
 All of the shit was happening to me
 I would do drugs, I was a thief
 Still on the run from the karma police
 You were the mission that's given to me, by the powers to be
 Man is double G 'n' D
 You are in the wilderness
 Looking for your own purpose
 And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
 I knew you always was
 You are in the wilderness
 Looking for your own purpose
 And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
 I knew you always would
 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones
 Words can never break your bones
 You just spread your wings and fly, wings and fly
 I knew you always would
 I knew you always would
 Yeah, I knew you always would (I knew)
 I know there always was nothing wrong with being
 You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
 You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
