Story Behind The Song
Even with the very small success I've had. I have met a few people along the way who are naysayers or are always into unhealthy competition, turf-wars of music, if you will. They want it all and sometimes they have enough charisma to GET-IT-ALL. But then BOOM, time goes by, and no one hears from them again. "When you fight for fame you only end up in flames..." I make music for me and now I make it for me and my fans: local, social media, and obscure. These people love me no matter what and you have to remember that there will always be distractions but as long as you DO YOU, things will be great! Keep it positive and NO DRAMA!
Song Description
When someone says you can't do something I've always found that to be a challenge of sorts. You can't do 100 push-ups because you are weak, so you do 110 push-ups. However, living your life to prove to other that you can becomes exhausting. This is perfect example of DO YOU and don't do them. If you wanna prove to them you can do those 100 push-ups just to shut them up, they still win. People get caught up in the fame game and this isn't just a music industry thing, it's part of our culture. Live your life for you and if you aren't what someone's looking for, remember that there is something for everyone, and you'll find your tribe.

Lyrics
You're not the one we're looking for
So go to the back of the line
You're not the one we're looking for
So go to the back of the line
You're not the one we're looking for
So go to the back of the line
You're not the one we're looking for
So go to the back of the line
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
It's the fear of rejection that brought them here
And nothing's ever been so crystal clear
I've never met so many people insane
They wanna hold it, squeeze it, kiss it, keep it, love it, eat it, wrap it, need it
But they don't know how to deal with the fame
PRE-CHORUS:
And who in this crazy world knows how to deal with this
We're just like little kids, dancing in a world of shit
And who's where we can go from here, from here
CHORUS:
I'm the one, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one
I'm one you'll miss
I'm the one, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one
I'm the one who lives
It's the small minded people that cause us to fall
And no one's ever seen the top of this wall
When you fight for fame it only ends up in flames
You gotta want it, need it, see it, breathe it
Love it, free it, dream it, be it
Anyone want 15 minutes of fame
(PRE-CHORUS)
(CHORUS)
1... 2... 3... 4
I'm gonna walk right out of this town
I'm gonna walk right out of this town
Cause I'm the one, I'm the one you'll miss
I don't really care what you think about me
I'm about to be a piece of history
Cause I'm the one, I'm the one who lives
