There′s a feedback loop going 'round in my head
I can′t make it stop, you say I'm going nowhere
You better come on back, girl, don't you step out of lineIf you don′t watch out, you′re gonna be a headline
My inner native's beating on the jungle drums
I′m restless from the rhythm of the rattle and hum
Something's going through me like a million volts
Then it hit me in the heart just like a lightning bolt
You′re not the boss of me
I'm who I need to be
Got possibilities
And I can finally breathe
You′re not the boss of me
No more apologies
You're ancient history
'Cause now I′m free
I got this now, what you gonna do?
I′m rolling like a gambler, I got nothing to lose
No job, no man to hold me down
If I got something to say, I'm gonna say it right now
You′re not the boss of me
I'm who I need to be
Got possibilities
And I can finally breathe
You′re not the boss of me
No more apologies
You're ancient history
′Cause now I'm free
No longer on the run
Answer to no one
You're not the boss of me
You′re not the boss of me
You′re not the boss of me
I'm who I need to be
Got possibilities
And I can finally breathe
You′re not the boss of me
No more apologies
You're ancient history
′Cause now I'm free (I′m free)
I'm free
I'm free
I′m free
You′re not the boss of me
