I′m gonna do it like that
I never got with the programThe teacher would call me out
For daydreaming, I was like
"Damn, 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 am I supposed to be myself
From always taking notes from someone else?
And everything I do seems to offend somebody new
I′ve been tryna love myself
I've never compared to someone else
′Cause everything I do makes me feel like somebody new
I never got A's that′s easy
The summer didn't last that long
I spent it on a halfpipe
"Damn, I′ll just drop in"
I tie my Vans with broken laces
Got green paint stains on my jeans
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 or not
I′ve always had this integrity
I guess that's just what makes me, me
How am I suppose to be myself
From always taking notes from someone else?
And everything I do seems to offend somebody new
I′ve been tryna love myself
And never compared to someone else
'Cause everything I do makes me feel like somebody new
This is how I do
This is how I′ll 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'll be
It may not seem like much to you
But it's enough for me
Ooh, you know how I do
You know that it′s true
So let me be me and I′ll let you be you
