[Intro]
Many cried, he's dead, he's dead
Many cried, he's dead, he's dead
A crown of life he gives to me
A crown of life he gives to me
His empty town brings victory
His empty town brings victory
Good job
Thank you

[Verse 1]
Perhaps they were influenced by the dark side
Somewhere inside my childhood I think my heart died
'Cause even though we both came from the same place
That's the matrix, we're makin it to apartheid
Picture atypical living in a typical world where it's made digital but stereo's y'all vibe
Magazine covers hiding people like you or try to, like you'll never make it like beds y'all lied
Wake me up when I'm free, I'm locked up with no keys, how you feel tryna be alright
They say you got OCD and the logic you'll need without structure can be hard times
They plead about your sensitivity, can't be dirty, just clean, blocking out all the screams all night
Need a routine just to ease our mind or we about to go COD offline
Crazy world we are they say
Dealing with the melee
Consider the spectrum from all sides
It may shape the ecosystem daily
Where people wanna make play
But evil wanna make an archive
Men and women with us, it's an infant daily dealing with a sickness of a system that treated 'em like raw hide
I guess what I'm really saying is me with my mental state
Is a way that I did relate to you, baby don't cry
It's gon' be alright, because
[Chorus]
They gon' try to change you
And say you won't make it far
But I think you're perfect
Just the way you are
They gon' try to change you
And say you won't make it far
But I think you're perfect
Just the way you are
I really love you (Just the way you are)
Why would they judge you? (Just the way you are)
Me, you can run to (Just the way you are)
This life thing you must do (Just the way you are)
I really love you (Just the way you are)
Why would they judge you? (Just the way you are)
Me, you can run to (Just the way you are)
This life thing you must do (Just the way you are)

[Verse 2]
Lord, forgive us for this life of sin
Don't wanna die again
Wrong's what they might've been, they like "What he mean?"
My kid's three years old and it's troubling to see them study him like they studied me
Sensory overload when they missing their homies though and now they gotta do some other things
It's like a bad movie, day care kicked him out
Me and his mother trying not to go make another scene
Cut, that's how it felt, what a bloody stream
Lucky thing daddy got it popping with a bunch of streams, maybe it's a money thing
I don't understand how they can judge a baby, maybe that ain't it but that is what it seems
Maybe it’s not the genes, always what we see
Socially I'm not too skilled but at other things
I just want my baby to live comfortably
At the park, I took him to go play and he like "Daddy, I just wanna swing"
1 in 100 can feel like 1 in 3 and with the boys it's easier for someone to see
All I see is young kings and a bunch of queens who are just different and not battling a disease
Run up these tickets, watch 'em running through the Chuck E. cheese
They got me tripping like it was though it wasn't me
But is it different when it comes to one of your seeds?
To celebrate 'em, not regulate 'em is what we need because
[Chorus]
They gon' try to change you
And say you won't make it far
But I think you're perfect
Just the way you are
They gon' try to change you
And say you won't make it far
But I think you're perfect
Just the way you are
I really love you (Just the way you are)
Why would they judge you? (Just the way you are)
Me, you can run to (Just the way you are)
This life thing you must do (Just the way you are)
I really love you (Just the way you are)
Why would they judge you? (Just the way you are)
Me, you can run to (Just the way you are)
This life thing you must do (Just the way you are)

[Outro]
From anybody on the spectrum, or dealing with autism from my kid, to kids around the world, to teens, young adults. You are not sick, you are fine just the way you are
