I Don't Even Care

[Chorus: Macy Gray]

I don't wanna be

I ain't gotta be

I ain't gonna be

And I don't even care

I don't wanna be

I ain't gotta be

I ain't gonna be

And I don't even care

[Verse 1: Jean Grae]

I mean, uh huh, yeah

I guess I could be what you wanted from me

If I was runnin' from me

If I wasn't honest

But see, when I was little

I made up a promise

Or wait, rather a premise

And that just prefaced everything

I've never been embedded in a mass cause, wait

Let me think back, nah

I think I said it right

I never considered this like a bed of feisty

The man I'm just better writer than a diva

I mean, I am a better writer than

I'd be a diva

Not aesthetically either and

I don't think of it evil, air quotes

The people and their folks need a hero

And a villain

But I'm both and neither

Dare most to reveal all the feelings

In the ether

With the glass jar

Her with the thin skin

Her with the mask on

My kid decision was living this

With the mask off

My middle finger cast off

I'ma leave the mask off

So fuck y'all

[Chorus: Macy Gray & Jean Grae]

I don't wanna be (and I don't wanna be)

I ain't gotta be (I never gotta be)

I ain't gonna be (Uh uh)

And I don't even care (I don't even care)

I don't wanna be (I never wanna be)

I ain't gotta be (I never gotta be)

I ain't gonna be (Uh uh)

And I don't even care (La, la, la-la, la)

[Verse 2: Jean Grae]

Yeah

It's not the censorship

Ten percent some mental shit

Ninety percent, the emphasis

It's just I don't care

I won't wear most of the clothes

You hoes wear

And I won't go to most of the shows

I don't fare

Being solo with scotch

And yelling YOLO with a spare glass

Toasting to myself and the ghost of my past

And glaring at

Cookie cutters over sharing

I'm over caring

You could find me over here

And it's apparent

That

[Chorus: Macy Gray & Jean Grae]

[Bridge: Macy Gray]

Hey

When you're lookin' my way

You'll be lookin' in space

Cause I am

I'm so outta here

I'm so outta here

Love

I only do it my way

And when they see me, they beg

Cause I am

I'm so outta here

I'm so outta here

[Outro: Macy Gray & Jean Grae]

Hey (I don't wanna be)

When you're lookin' my way (I ain't gotta be)

You'll be lookin' in space (I ain't gonna be)

Cause I am (And I don't even care)

I'm so outta here

I'm so outta here

Love

Cause I'm so outta here

I'm so outta here

You'll be lookin' in space

And I'm gonna do it my way

Cause I'm so outta here

I'm so outta here

We so outta here

I don't really care

I don't really care
