I Don't Want To Be

[Verse 1]

I don't need to be anything other

Than a nobody's son

I don't need to be anything other

Than a socialist's son

I don't have to be anyone other

Than the birth of two souls in one

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Part of where I'm going

Is knowing where I'm coming from

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Am I the only one who noticed?

I can't be the only one who's learned

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

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 (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
