[Verse 1]
Everybody wants to be the one
To be the one everybody wants to
Footstools of my enemies if they don't
Bend their knees as I want
The boat won't sink if it stays ashore
But that's just not what it came here for
And if I need you to build me up
Then you could break me down

[Chorus]
And I don't need no validation
If they can't see it through the allegations
Then the night with me and I shall replace them
You should try to walk a mile in my Versace slides
But to me I'll be fly 'til I'm flying where God residеs

[Verse 2]
Everybody wants to know their worth
Nowadays I just wanna be free
Free until thеy throw me in the dirt
Free is all the dirt they throw at me
All I ever wanted was to be heard
To leave behind the world of all my thoughts
A world where you can sing along with each word
Where love and loyalty cannot be bought
[Chorus]
But we don't need no validation
If they can't see it through the allegations
Then the night with me and I shall replace them
You should try to walk a mile in my Versace slides
But to me I'll be fly 'til I'm flying where God resides

[Outro]
But I don't need no validation
Ooh, ayy, mmm
