lyrics

I’ve been running around too much
Been beating the ground too much
Like I’ve been running for President
That’s gonna stop
I had a vision

I’m gonna be my own Ayatollah
I’m gonna be my own Ayatollah

I know it’s not the American way
To stay at home and accept my fate
And wait for the world to come to me
But that’s how it’s gotta be
I found a new religion

I’m gonna be my own Ayatollah
I’m gonna be my own Ayatollah
I’m gonna be my own Ayatollah

I’m gonna speak my own truth
That’s all that I can do
