Lyric discussion by outofsightoutofmind 

I'm pretty sure he's basically saying that he's okay with what's going on because He's doing what HE wants to...and not relying on other people to make him feel good.

He is doing this music stuff because he wants to be doing it. He doesn't want to be classified with all the shitty one-hit-wonders. Sometimes it sucks...but...

He's doing what he should be doing with his life..and he feels good about it.
