“What up Mike?
Name´s Joey, how you doin? What´s been up with you?
I know you busy and you probably got some stuff to do

But damn, I really do relate to what you´ve struggled through
Shit, honestly I´ve hardly got a buck or two
Cause I just lost my fuckin job and I can´t take it
I guess they had a shortage at the gas station
And to be honest, I don´t even have a decent hobby
But through your lyrics, I believe that I can be somebody
My daddy was a sucker too before he left my mom
That´s why I zone out every second to your deck of songs
But you must get that all the time when someone message you
But I respect you dude, like fuck, I just connect with you!
And that ain´t sexual, I mean you just inspire me

You made me see that I don´t need approval from society
You give me strength when people tell me to quit
Fuck it, I´m pissed
That´s why your music´s all the help I can get, for real”

If you want something in your life so bad, but still hold back
Cause you´re afraid of what the world might say
Fuck what they say
To you
Cause they can´t help if they´re so selfish
Cause nothing´s ever going their way
For real though, fuck what they say
For real though, fuck what they say

“I found your songs through a friend of mine named Mary

You actually called her for her birthday back in January
That´s why I spread all of your music every time I can
You give me hope and it´s so sweet that you reply to fans!
You´ll never know it, but you helped my dreams unfold
Oh, by the way, my name´s Katie and I´m 19 years old
I used to play with razor blades to help me ease the pain
But then your songs like ‘Baby Don´t Cut´ made me feel again
You made me see the light when I would have no need to
And cause of that I am aspiring to be a ballerina
They used to say I couldn´t do it cause it´s too advanced

But I just got a letter of acceptance to a school of dance!
I´d look into the mirror and just think I´m so unsuitable
But, now the person staring back at me is beautiful
You give me strength when I´m finding it hard, or even hiding these scars
Kindest regards, Katie”

If you want something in your life so bad, but still hold back
Cause you´re afraid of what the world might say
Fuck what they say

Cause they can´t help if they´re so selfish
Cause nothing´s ever going their way
For real though, fuck what they say

For real though, fuck what they say

“I´ve been in a fight with self-harm since 2006
And music was the only thing that would ever pull me out of it
There´re songs like ‘Baby Don´t Cut´ that made me realise how much I was really hurting the people I care about
Now the ??? at the bottom of the river and I´m never letting them back in”
“Hey B-Mike, just wanted to let you know what song I relate to most, is ‘Never Giving Up´
Every time I hear that song, it´s like I get chills running through my body
You know, it gives me motivation to get out and do what I need to do to conquer what I need to conquer

Thank you man”

For real though, fuck what they say
