  • So much pressure, why so loud?
    If you don't like my sound, you can turn it down
    I gotta roll
    And I walk it alone

    Uphill battle, I look good when I climb
    I'm ferocious precocious
    I get braggadocios, I'm not gonna stop
    I like the view from the top

    You talk that
    Blah blah that la la, that rah rah sh
    And I'm so done, I'm so over it
    Sometimes I mess up, I eff up, I hit and miss
    But I'm okay, I'm cool with it

    I still fall on my face sometimes and I
    Can't color inside the lines 'cause
    I'm perfectly incomplete
    I'm still working on my masterpiece and I
    I wanna hang with the greatest gotta
    Way to go, but it's worth the wait, no
    You haven't seen the best of me
    I'm still working on my masterpiece and I

    (Oh oh, oh ah)
    (Oh oh, oh ah)

    Those who mind, don't matter
    Those who matter, don't mind
    If you don't catch what I'm throwing then I leave you behind
    Don't need a flash
    And I am leaving like that

    They talk that
    Blah blah that la la, that rah rah sh
    Go with the punches, and take the hits
    Sometimes I mess up, I eff up, I swing and miss
    But it's okay, I'm cool with this

    I still fall on my face sometimes and I
    Can't color inside the lines 'cause
    I'm perfectly incomplete
    I'm still working on my masterpiece and I
    I wanna hang with the greatest gotta
    Way to go, but it's worth the wait, no
    You haven't seen the best of me
    I'm still working on my masterpiece and I

    (Oh oh, oh ah)
    (Oh oh, oh ah)

    I still fall on my face sometimes and I
    Can't color inside the lines 'cause
    I'm perfectly incomplete
    I'm still working on my masterpiece
    Masterpiece, masterpiece

    I still fall on my face sometimes and I
    Can't color inside the lines 'cause
    I'm perfectly incomplete
    I'm still working on my masterpiece and I
    I wanna hang with the greatest gotta
    Way to go, but it's worth the wait, no
    You haven't seen the best of me
    I'm still working on my masterpiece and I

    (Oh oh, oh ah)
    (Oh oh, oh ah) (still, workin' on, still workin' on)
    Still workin' on my masterpiece Writer/s: Brittany Marie Burton, Emily Warren, Joshua Alexander Berman
