I Don't Want to Be

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

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 gotta 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

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 gotta 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

I don't want to be, oh, oh

I don't want to be

I don't want to be anything

Anything other than me

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (I don't want to be)

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (I don't want to be)

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (I don't want to be)

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (I don't want to be)
