According to them, I’m ambitious 
Yes, I am! I’ve got to be like that and be cautious 
If not, I will never grasp my ambition 
And I will be a dump loser with no emotion 
 
According to them, I’m truly weak 
Astoundingly, I take a deep sign, I don’t want to meek 
I hurdle any shortcomings, I hate chat 
Weak is not my bound lines, just observe my physique stat 
 
According to them, I’m bull-headed 
Am I? What’s the roots of this success and was applauded?  
Can I stand now with pride if I’m what they thought?  
‘Cause they do not know me well and that is a big quote 
 
According to them, I’m a sinner 
Just because I never go to church, It’s a mind-killer 
They never know what’s in my heart, in my soul 
That is, truths are blinded by my actions, it’s my all 
 
But it was just according to them 
At least, I live on my own and nothing to do with them 
I just close my eyes and ears, it’s my anthem 
And make a smile, smile of pure and of vision, for them
