Nobody Can Be You

Nobody can be you but you

Nobody can be you but you

Nobody can be you but you

Nobody can be you

Don't get too wrapped up in someone else's style

It'll change in a while

You gotta find what you're all about

And know just who you are without a doubt

Everyone's a star and your gift you must find

In time, to take you far

Yeah yeah yeah

The whole world's a stage

And no one else can play your part

Whoo, that's why I say

Yeah yeah yeah

Nobody can be you but you

Nobody can be you but you

Nobody can be you but you

Nobody can be you

You better look out

They try to hold you down

And make your ideas seem less than profound

You better look out

They try to make it seem

You ain't got the move to make the groove

You better look out

They'll make you feel like you ain't for real

You don't know the deal

You better look out

They'll try to change your mind, say that you ain't mine, baby

And that ain't for real

Come on baby

Nobody can be you but you

Nobody, no, no

Nobody can be you but you

Nobody can be you but you

Nobody can be you

You've got move your behind

If you're gonna catch up, you've got to use your mind

If you wanna go to the top baby

You gotta do what you do best, I don't mean maybe

Take your piece of the rug

Make yourself stand up for what you want

Straight ahead, don't let yourself stand in your way

That's what I said, yeah, yeah

Nobody can be you but you (It's true)

Nobody can be you but you (Do you hear me?)

Nobody can be you but you

Nobody can be you

You better look out

They'll try to stop your hold on your pot of gold

You better look out

They'll try to make you feel like you're way out

You ain't got no clout

You better look out

They'll tell you anything to make you feel pretty lame

But you know all about that game

You better look out

No T.V. own me, I got my own mind

To bring my mean thing, look it

You know it

You know it

I said it's time somebody told the truth

Let the truth, come on let it loose

We got to do what we got to do

Ain't gon' let nobody stop me from doing what I wanna do

Gonna groove (Nobody can be you but you)

Gonna make my move, ain't gon' let you shoot me down (Nobody can be you but you)

I'm gonna rise to the top (Nobody can be you but you)

Ain't gonna let nobody make me stop

I said go for what you know

And let everybody know that you're serious, for sure

You got to go forward, move ahead

And do what you got to do, that's what I say

You wanna make your mark on the world

You wanna let every boy and girl know who you are
