Intro:
I’m turnin’ the tables
With turntables and fables
Tryna get this haters to listen to what I’m sayin’
And no
I’m not endorsin’ complainin’ or supportin’ hatin’
I’m only tryna sing through my music a message of
Salvation

Verse 1:
You write upon a blank canvas
“I’m sick of my omens”
You want to teach me your methods
Of how to get revenge
You show me all your emotions
Hate, pain, fear, and regret
You want to take control of me
And turn me into them

Chorus:
Well guess what
I’m done
Pretending
That you’ve won
It’s time to take back control
OF WHAT I ONCE WAS
Guess what
I’m done

Verse 2:
White lies and empty whispers
Is all you serve to me
Clouding my mind with confusion
And lack of certainty
War is your only ambition
To bring me to my knees
All you want is my submission
To erase my belief

Chorus:
But guess what
I’m done
Pretending
That you’ve won
It’s time to take back control
OF WHAT I ONCE WAS
Guess what
I’m done

Bridge:
Yo
I’m never backin’ down
I will not bow
No, not right now
Not ever
I’m stickin’ to my endeavors
Countin’ my successful measures with angel feathers
You can break your back tryin’
But you will not break me
Will not make me
Lie
I’m gonna preach the Truth
The Son
They call Him Jesus Christ

Chorus:
So guess what
I’m done
Pretending
That you’ve won
It’s time to take back control
OF WHAT I ONCE WAS
Guess what
I’m done

Guess what
I’m done
GUESS WHAT
I’ve won

Outro:
I’m turnin’ the tables
With turntables and fables
Tryna get this haters to listen to what I’m sayin’
And no
I’m not endorsin’ complainin’ or supportin’ hatin’
I’m only tryna sing through my music a message of
Salvation


The author's comments:

These lyrics are intended to be alternative rock/hard rock, with portions of rap at the intro, bridge, and outro. Throughout the song, I imagine heavy, distorted guitar with drums and bass.
