Doin’ It My Way
© 2025 R3Zondo

Now the clock runs down, heavy heart, can’t turn it around.
Scars on the skin, battle-worn crown, truth in the noise, can’t shut it down.
Life on the edge, never played it safe, every wrong turn carved another place.
Still standing here, never lost the flame, doin’ it my way, never played their game.

Doin’ it my way, yeah, never gonna fake it.
Doin’ it my way, whole world gotta face it.
Every scar, every bruise, every weight carried,
Doin’ it my way, nothing left to bury.

Pressure hits hard, but it don’t break bones, every locked door got kicked, got thrown.
Fear tried to take what can’t be owned, every step lit fire on a path unknown.
Voices in the dark said fall, give in, but the ground don’t win, can’t chain this skin.
Through the blood, through the sweat, every wall got torn, doin’ it my way, been battle born.

Doin’ it my way, yeah, never gonna fake it.
Doin’ it my way, whole world gotta face it.
Every scar, every bruise, every weight carried,
Doin’ it my way, nothing left to bury.

They said fall in line, don’t stand out, don’t fight.
But the truth don’t bend, and the heart don’t lie.
Every chain they built turned to dust in time,
Doin’ it my way, this life stays mine.

Doin’ it my way… yeah…
Doin’ it my way… oh-oh…
Every road, every blow, every battle they throw,
Still doin’ it my way… yeah…

(Summary)

This track is about refusing to fold. Doin’ It My Way, captures that inner fire of standing alone, facing pressure, and still holding the line. It’s gritty, honest, and full of bruises, but also pride. It’s a personal anthem for anyone who’s been told to tone it down, blend in, or give up. This is a loud, emotional middle finger to all of that.

Doin’ It My Way

🎶 From Cassette Tapes to Creating My Own Sound 🎶

When I was a kid, music was more than background noise, it was my escape, my teacher, and my first real love. I’d sit with two cassette players, playing the Beatles on one and singing into the other, trying my best to match artists like Paul McCartney or Barbara Streisand’s range (sometimes successfully, sometimes not so much) 🤣. Homework could wait, lyrics in my wide rule notebooks couldn’t.

Life took me through winding roads, retail, hospitality, consulting, caregiving, but music never stopped calling. 45 years later, after many personal losses, and loosing one of my sons last year, I turned back to songwriting as therapy. Inspiration is all around me. Every song I create starts with raw lyrics, usually scribbled in one shot as I choreograph in my mind, then evolves into a fully produced track through hours of refining vocal coding,  instrumentation, and feel. I blend personal stories with AI driven music tools, letting technology and emotion work together to capture what I hear and see in my head and heart.

Now, I’m finally sharing it. Not perfect, not polished to death, just real. This is me, finally putting the music out there for you to hear.
Peace & Love ❤️
