i don’t need to be anything other
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
pre
part of where i’m going
is knowing where i’m coming from
i don’t want to 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 want to be anything other than me
i’m surrounded by liars
everywhere i turn
i’m surrounded by imposters
everywhere i turn
i’m surrounded by identity crisis
everywhere i turn
pre
am i the only one who noticed
i can’t be the only one who’s learned
i don’t want to 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 want to 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 want to 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 want to be anything other than me
i don’t want to be hey yeah hey yeah
