“I Don’t Want To Be”
Than a prison guard’s son
I don’t need to be anything other
Than a specialist’s son
I don’t have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I’m going
Is knowing where I’m coming from
I don’t wanna be anything other
Than what I’ve been tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And have peace of mind
I’m tired of looking ’round rooms
Wondering what I’ve got to do
Or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t wanna be anything other than me
I’m surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I’m surrounded by impostors everywhere I turn
I’m surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can’t be the only one who’s learned!
I don’t wanna be anything other
Than what I’ve been tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And have peace of mind
I’m tired of looking ’round rooms
Wondering what I’ve got to do
Or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t wanna be anything other than me
Can I have everyone’s attention please?
If you’re not like this and that, you’re gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situation
Made from clay to stone
And now I’m telling everybody
I don’t wanna be anything other
Than what I’ve been tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And I have peace of mind
I’m tired of looking ’round rooms
Wondering what I’ve got to do
Or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t wanna be anything other than me
I don’t wanna be, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
I don’t wanna be, oh-oh
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be anything, anything other than me
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don’t wanna be (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don’t wanna be (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don’t wanna be (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don’t wanna be (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
