[Verse 1]
There's way more pleasure in a pathless forest than one paved in stone
I think its crazy how we never have a choice of our own
Our life’s predestined by our culture from the day we are born
I took the path less traveled because I quit

[Pre-Chorus]
I never had a chance
I'm way too dumb for it
I slacked off so much I was the worst student
I had something better
For my time that mattered
I said I'm done with this and I’m over it

[Chorus]
It got me feeling that I
Don't really matter and I
Will never be going anywhere
But I don't wanna live life
By paying bills and dying
With a profession where I don't care
I wasn't made to fit
'Cause I was made to quit
I wasn't made for this

[Verse 2]
Getting neglected 'cause I took the chance to follow my dreams
Seen as a rebel ’cause I failed to follow through with routine
Don’t mean no disrespect
Don't wanna die with debt
Just trying to follow through with what my mind says
