Call it what you want - analysis

Call it what you want - analysis
 
Call it what you want
This verse is just saying that people can say what they like.
I said just call it what you want
Call it what you want
Yeah we're locked up in ideas This is reference to we feel the need to give a label everything and eveyone in life.
We like to label everything
Well I'm just gonna do here what I gotta do here However the artist is just going to get on with their own life
'Cause I gotta keep myself free
You're ducking and moving just to hide your bruising from all your enemies And all this labeling is just sparking unessasary hatred between others
And I'm in the crossfire dodging bullets from you expectancies
We've got nothing to lose Say what you want because I've got nothing to lose so you might aswell run and hide
You better run and hide
Yeah you've crossed the line There will always be someone saying something about you but theres no need for you to prove anything.
I've got a knife behind my back (just sayin')
We've got nothing to prove
Your social guides give you swollen eyes This need to label people has blinded you from what is important in life
But what I've got can't be bought so you can just
Call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want Say what you want because I don't care about what youve got to say about me 
Yeah yeah I said just call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want
You've taken your words and you take your judgments Another reference to constant labeling of things
And stick them onto everything
If it don't conform to what you were born into, If things go against the labels you've given them then you run and hide because you've got no backbone
Then you run the other way
You say, "now what's your style and who do you listen to?" who cares? Say what you want because I don't care about what youve got to say about me 
Well that rat race ladder-climbing fake-face smile's got nothing on me
We've got nothing to lose Say what you want because I've got nothing to lose so you might aswell run and hide
You better run and hide
Yeah you've crossed the line There will always be someone saying something about you but theres no need for you to prove anything.
I've got a knife behind my back (just sayin')
We've got nothing to prove
Your social guides give you swollen eyes This need to label people has blinded you from what is important in life
But what I've got can't be bought so you can just
Call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want Say what you want because I don't care about what youve got to say about me 
Yeah yeah I said just call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want
Call it what you want
Call it what you want
Call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want
Yeah yeah I said just call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want
