I Don't Want to Be

Lyrics

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 the birth of two souls in one
 Part of where I'm going
 Is knowing where I'm coming from
 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 gotta do
 Or who I'm supposed to be
 I don't want to 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 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 gotta do
 Or who I'm supposed to be
 I don't want to be anything other than me
 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 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
 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)
 
 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

 Is knowing where I'm coming from

 Other than what I've been tryna be lately
 All I have to do is think of me
