Permission Prof

[Prof: Verse 1]
I learned at a real young age if I sat down and pouted, I'd be there for days
Smile big when they hold that shit against you, sad people can't imagine what I've been through
I won't apologize for being positive, I'll no longer explain myself to novices
So pardon me if I wanna crack a joke, rather than sit around and point at holes in boat
Put it on my grave that I went out laughing, dancing, only way to celebrate the madness
My whole life's been a ball of shit, at dinner eating popcorn like this is all I get?
I'm a one of a kind bright mind, I am beautiful, complex, shine let me shine
When I'm not laughing I'm crying, like when I'm not living I'm dying, mother fucker I'm trying

[Prof: Chorus 2x]
I don't need permission to smile, it's mine for the rest of my life
I'm me till death do us part, don't tell me what's right

[Prof: Verse 2]
I don't need to sit and pout to justify intelligence
Or talk about how bad I've had it to be relevant
Toured the whole country with a hole in my back
And they talked about how dedication is something I lack
Wintertime, poppin' pills like they were vitamins
Wondering to myself if I'll ever walk right again
I choose to be happy, I will not act sad for you, it's what I have to do
I got the wild wild horses, I refuse to be cautious
I'll take both feet then I'll jump in, ain't getting used to no office
Should I be more pessimistic, less misfit, if I refuse to comply I'm a dipshit? If they're mad at you then that's a good sign
They'll do anything to keep you from a good time
