"Validation" lyrics

Everybody wants to be the one
To be the one everybody wants
Footstools at my enemies
If they don't [?]
The boat won't sink if it stays ashore
But that's just not what it came here for
And if I need you to build me up
Then you could break me down

And I don't need no validation
If they can't see through the allegations
Then they're not with me and I shall replace them
Should, should try and walk a mile in my Versace slides
But me, I'll be fly till I'm flying where God resides

Everybody wants to know their worth
Nowadays I just wanna be free
Free until they throw me in the dirt
Free is all the dirt they throw at me, yeah
All I ever wanted was to be heard
To leave behind the world of all my thoughts
A world where you can sing along with each word
Where love and loyalty cannot be bought

I don't need no validation
If they can't see through the allegations
Then they're not with me and I shall replace them
Should, should try and walk a mile in my Versace slides
But me, I'll be fly till I'm flying where God resides

But I don't need no validation, ooh
