I'm told strive to be the best

Not strive for my best

I work hard to do better

Than my last time

But everyone flips out saying

"You have to be the best, no second place"

Fuck that bulshit!

I want to do my best

Not live up to these impossible standards!

I don't give a fuck what you expect

I will only live to my expectations

Not the bulshit ones you set up for me!

I like to strive to do the best I can each day

Not strive to be the best!

People need to know that striving to be your best

Is the best thing you can do

It's the only thing you should do

I don't care to strive to be the top

I keep moving up no matter what

I keep going on no matter what

So let me do my best

Not be the best

Because my best is what I need to do
