NOTE: If you\\u2019d like to skip my commentary and go straight to the song, go to 8:08. However, I do suggest listening to the whole episode!

Thanks for waiting an extra day for the third episode of \\u201c25 Bad Songs,\\u201d an Art In All Its Forms podcast series where I (Suraj) write 25 songs \\u2014 one song a week \\u2014 and show you how I did it!

Today\\u2019s song, \\u201cI\\u2019ll Do It Anyway,\\u201d tells a very broad story about power and the desire to keep it, even if it was required through illegitimate means. It is very loosely based on a conversation I had with my sister, as well as the Showtime TV show \\u201cBillions,\\u201d starring Damien Lewis and Paul Giamatti.

Full Lyrics:

Verse 1You can say I\\u2019m a devilYou can say I\\u2019m a foolBut I\\u2019m on a higher levelWhere I make my own rules

I know you\\u2019re out to get mePull out the pistols at dawnDon\\u2019t bother tryna hurt meWhen you say that I\\u2019m wrong

ChorusI\\u2019ll do it anyway (x4)

Verse 2Can you believe these people When they see what I built they wanna tear it all downNo respect, only wanna catch meI\\u2019m moving too fast, they want me to slow downTake a breath, make a threat, look me in the eyes when you say, \\u201cIt\\u2019s going down\\u201dOh, it\\u2019s going down

I know I\\u2019m not so perfectI\\u2019ve played the game for too longBut it\\u2019s all been worth itEven I\\u2019m doing wrong

ChorusI\\u2019ll do it anyway (x4)

Solo

ChorusI\\u2019ll do it anyway (x4)
