I never got with the program The teacher would call me out For daydreaming I was like, dayum I’ll just hop out I cried into soggy cornflakes My mom sent me back to school Cause nobody wants a flunky in grade two
I wanna speak facts but I can barely breathe I wanna bring myself out but I’m in too deep I’ve always had this intensity I guess that’s just what makes me, me
How I’m supposed to be myself If I’m always taking notes from someone else And everything I do seems to offend somebody new I’ve been tryna love myself And never compare to someone else Cause everything I do makes me feel like somebody new
I never got A’s that easy The summer didn’t last that long I spent it on a halfpipe, dayum I’ll just drop in I tie my Vans with broken laces Got green paint stains on my jeans I guess I’ll graduate with braces on my teeth
I wanna run track when it’s time to walk I wanna speak up when it’s wrong to not I’ve always had this integrity I guess that’s just what makes me, me
How I’m supposed to be myself If I’m always taking notes from someone else And everything I do seems to offend somebody new I’ve been tryna love myself And never compare to someone else Cause everything I do makes me feel like somebody new
This is how I do This is how I be I know sometimes my socks don’t match, I guess it’s in my genes This is how I do This is how I be It may not seem like much to you, but it’s enough for me
Ooh, you know how I do And you know that it’s true So let me be me and I’ll let you be you
