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 a birth of two souls in one

Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from

I don't wanna 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 gotta do

Or who I'm supposed to be

I don't wanna 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 wanna 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 gotta do

Or who I'm supposed to be

I don't wanna be anything other than me, ah

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 wanna 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 gotta do

Or who I'm supposed to be

I don't wanna be anything other than me

I don't wanna be, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

I don't wanna be, oh-oh

I don't wanna be

I don't wanna be anything

Anything other than me

(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don't wanna be (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don't wanna be (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don't wanna be (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don't wanna be...
