I do what I do, and I don't pay no mind
To what naysayers say or what muckrakers find
I do what I do, and I don't pay no mind
Like everyone else, I've left stories behind
Some I think of fondly, some I'd like to rewind
I'd like to rewrite some of my history
But I'm not looking back
Cuz that's no place to be
If you put in the work, your heart will be satisfied
It's not seeking reward, it's not stroking your pride
If the world needs what you bring, you know you won't be denied
But the far greater thing is the warm glow inside
I'll sit back and wait - I'll know the time when I see it
I won't rush to be great - don't want to fake it, but be it
I'll sit back and wait - I'll know the time when I see it
I do what I do, and I don't pay no mind
To what naysayers say or what muckrakers find
I do what I do, and I don't pay no mind
