Not music for the charts, no
No, I won't get caught up
In all of the things dem woulda start
To stray I from I path
Won't fall victim to dem conduct
I'm making music from my heart
Not music for the charts, no, no
With all the things dem coulda start
To stray I from I path
Won't, won't

Now I see what is my responsibility
The blessings I've received
I must do my best to lead then
'Cause when people they stand in front of me
With them ears attentively
Well, then I do my best to reach them
For if I am making music from my soul
And know my role, well then it cannot get depleted
So divine when these energies align
Thoughts flow from mind, so I know that I

I'm just making music from my heart
Not music for the charts, no
No, I won't get caught up
In all of the things dem woulda start
To stray I from I path
Won't fall victim to dem conduct
I'm making music from my heart
Not music for the charts, no
No, I won't get caught up
In all of the things dem woulda start
To stray I from I path
Won't fall victim to dem conduct, yes

Mommy, if I never win a Grammy
Don't you ever cry for me
No billboard up in the sky for me
If I never get to put a plaque on Don's wall
I'll appreciate the fact that even one sold
Daddy, do you see yourself when you look at me
I look at you and feel like that is what I've got to be
And so my strategy is to stay 'way from the vanity
Plus LeAnn, I did promise she, that I would make my

Music from my heart
Not music for the charts, no, no
With all of the things dem woulda start
To stray I from I path
Won't fall victim to dem conduct
I'm making music from my heart
Not music for the charts, no, no
With all of the things dem woulda start
Just to stray I from I path
Won't, won't

Said no I will not pick a fight with my brothers
Just to get to the top
When I write, it's truth and rights incite in every drop
Represent for all the younger ones that's coming up
And show them love no competition
It's not "I," it's "us"
See, for all our times will come and go
When there'll be no more lights
And there'll be no more shows
And no more interviews
And no more people saying they loving you
I'm telling you, and then we'll know

I'm making music from my heart
Not music for the charts, no
No, I won't get caught up
In all of the things dem woulda start
To stray I from I path
Won't fall victim to dem conduct
I'm making music from my heart
Not music for the charts, no
No, I won't get caught up
In all of the things dem woulda start
To stray I from I path
Won't fall victim to dem conduct

No, no, yeah, yeah
No, hey, hey
Music from my heart, music from my heart
No, no, no, no, hey
So I give thanks for the ones that before us, you know?
And for the ones that forward, you know
Treat the music with respect
