[Chorus: Demi]
Teachers have been teaching me what I really won't show
Preachers best not preach to me what religion don't know
I get a lot of hell for being me
I said I get a lot of hell for free
And there's nothing that I'd rather be
No nothing that I'd rather be

[Verse 1: Tuck]
People keep telling me I'm on the wrong path
I'm a grown man I don't need all that
Let the past be the past
Focus on the present
Live for today you gotta take it as a lesson
Stop what you're stressin' ignore the hate
See I know it gets bad when these people are fake
Got a whole lot to say even more to prove
Let me do me and yo you can do you

[Verse 2: Demi]
Comin' from a long line of reverends
I can tell you've been down on yourself again
Keep ya head up when you're feelin' low
'Cause everybody's felt that way befo'
And ain't nobody knowin' no more than you
Assurin' you a damn thing that you don't want'em to
Keep an open mind baby you will be fine on your own (whoa-oh)

[Chorus: Demi]
Teachers have been teaching me what I really won't show
Preachers best not preach to me what religion don't know
I get a lot of hell for being me
I said I get a lot of hell for free
And there's nothing that I'd rather be
No nothing that I'd rather be

[Verse 3: Tuck]
Here it goes again it's the same old song
Who are you to tell me where I went wrong
All I got to do live and let die
Like the hands on the clock when your time pass by
People gon' talk point the blame
Some of them run through the dirt with your name
It's all good though we all die alone
You're here one day then you're gone

[Verse 4: Child]
When the white wings of death scatter your days and words are worth no more
You would swear you see the morbid truth that life for you is nothin' but a poor excuse
A game of blame didn't have the fortitude
To lead the way, hear what your gut did say
Instead obey the words of all those who prey
On the weak-minded, those who seek but don't find nothin'
If you can listen you're revived and you still can change
You still can change

[Chorus: Demi]
Teachers have been teaching me what I really won't show
Preachers best not preach to me what religion don't know
I get a lot of hell for being me
I said I get a lot of hell for free
And there's nothing that I'd rather be
No nothing that I'd rather be
Be, be, be, be, be
Be, be, be, be, be, be
Be, be, be, be, be, be
Be, be, be
