If I can't be me
Who do you want me to be?
'Cause if you can't see beyond your gaze
You don't faze me, and I don't trust you anyway
It's running through life, I figured out time
Don't wait for no one
So while I'm alive, I'ma just be me
Whoever that ends up bein'
Don't say I'm too loud when I cry out
What I've held inside
I wanna know why they tried to take me and bury me alive
'Cause who am I, to think that I have a right
Or decide, to know what I need, right?
It's in the way, I talk now, walk away
From what you made me
If I can't be me
Who do you want me to be?
'Cause if you can't see beyond your gaze
You don't faze me, and I don't trust you anyway
It's running through life, I figured out time
Don't wait for no one
So while I'm alive, I'ma just be me
Whoever that ends up bein'
And I know this is all too familiar
For the motive behind all that fake love
I can't take all these unsolicited opinions
Go ahead and be the scared ones
Either way, I'll get it done
I've been told I'm too much
Too proud, too cool
Too wild, difficult to be around with
Too much to say
Never in the right way
So, what's the right way?
If I can't be me
Who do you want me to be? (Who do you want me to be?)
'Cause if you can't see beyond your gaze
You don't faze me, and I don't trust you anyway
It's running through life, I figured out time (figured out time)
Don't wait for no one
So while I'm alive, I'ma just be me (I'ma just be me, yeah)
Whoever that ends up bein' (yeah)
If I can't be me
Who do you want me to be? (Who do you want me to be?)
'Cause if you can't see beyond your gaze
You don't faze me, and I don't trust you anyway
It's running through life, I figured out time
Don't wait for no one
So while I'm alive, I'ma just be me (I'ma just be me)
Whoever that ends up bein'
