Mind your own beat (Remastered)
Hard-hitting alternative rock with distorted guitar, intense vocal delivery, and no rap. Drums drive a rebellious anthem about identity and personal freedom. Cold whispered outro.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Why you watching my hair like it’s your TV?
Why you actin’ like you own my identity?
Why you measure me with some old tape?
Like your tiny box could hold my shape?
Pre-Chorus
You don’t feed me.
You don’t lead me.
You don’t bleed me —
So you don’t need me.
Chorus
Mind your own — mind your own beat!
Don’t like my vibe? Get off my street!
My skin, my fire, my damn free speech —
Ain’t yours to touch, ain’t yours to preach!
LEAVE ME BE!
(I said it loud!)
LEAVE ME BE!
(I’m not your crowd!)
Verse 2
I breathe like I want. I walk how I live.
I don’t need your filter, don’t need to forgive.
You call it rebellion — I call it real.
You hate that I dance while you barely feel.
Bridge
You got your rules — I got my bass.
You got your mask — I got my face.
So take your fear and leave my space.
You don’t belong in my own place.
Final Chorus
Mind your own — mind your own beat!
Step aside, you obsolete!
My voice, my joy, my rage, my light —
Ain’t yours to crush, ain’t yours to right!
LEAVE ME BE!
(This is my sound!)
LEAVE ME BE!
(We take it back now!)
Spoken Outro – cold, whispered tone
Don’t judge anyone
Till you’ve dealt with your own mess.
You don’t understand?
Too bad. I’m not here to explain.
So zip it, Karen.
Nobody asked.
