They tell me to be myself
But I don't know what they means
Every day, I wake just to make another mistake
Guess I need a little more practice, it seems
They're turning me all around
Telling me where I should go
Say it with a smile, but never walked a mile in my style
Wonder how in the hell could they know, hmm
You just do you, I'll just do me
That's all we can do, that's all we can be
I ain't ever been any good at tryna be somebody else
So, I'll be myself
That's all I can be
No one can do what I do quite like me
Yes, I'll be myself
Made it this far on my own
So I must have did something right
Just so I can get the little bit of what I'm working with
Well, I've had to struggle and fight
They say that I must be lost
Stumbling 'round in the dark
At midnight or broad daylight, I'ma be alright
Yeah, I know where I should start, hmm
You just do you, I'll just do me
That's all we can do, that's all we can be
I ain't ever been any good at tryna be somebody else
So, I'll be myself
That's all I can be
No one can do what I do quite like me
Yes, I'll be myself
No, I won't fit inside your box
So can't nobody keep me locked
I'm gonna shape my life just how I like
You can call me crazy, call me strange
But one thing just ain't gonna change
I'll be myself
That's all I can be
Can't no one do what I do quite like me
So I'll be myself
That's all I can do
I'm just gon' keep being, keep being me
You be you
Yes, I'll be myself
