Testo (Doesn't Have To) Be That Way

Always moved on fast
Never stepped up last to get in
I don't feel out of pace
It's a doubt you've put in place I'm not in
I never looked away and I got up to fall
down
Stood my ground
Always liked the fun And I learned just when to run... not
waiting
Doesn't have to be that way
I don't have to lose my way
Doesn't have to be that way
I don't have to lose my way
Always made it right
But I never kissed your ass to get in
Always liked the fun
But I learned just when to run... not waiting
Won't beat you at your game, it's your
game
Rather rise above rising, rising flame
Always stood my ground
And I never slept around to get in Doesn't have to be that way
I don't have to lose my way
Doesn't have to be that way
Don't have to lose my way
Doesn't have to be that way
I don't wanna lose my way
Doesn't have to be that way
Don't have to lose my way
Never stepped on heads
But I don't wanna be caught up in just
your light
I can see through minded games
It's always been the same game you're
playing
Don't wanna check on the other side of
Every word you say
How can I stay still
With the lies you put me in? I'm not in
Doesn't have to be that way
I don't have to lose my way
Doesn't have to be that way
Don't have to lose my way
Doesn't have to be that way
I don't wanna lose my way
Doesn't have to be that way
Don't have to lose my way
All the same this blame to fame
Power buzz, mind games,
Ego states, take control,
Mind games, take control.
