I Don’t Want to Be
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be anything
Other than what I've been trying to 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 gotta do
And who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
[Verse 2]
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 to notice?
Am I the only one who's learned?
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be anything
Other than what I've been trying to 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 gotta do
And who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
[Bridge]
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
[Bridge]
I don't wanna be any…
I don't wanna be…
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be anything
Other than what I've been trying to 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 gotta do
And who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
[Outro]
I don't wanna be (other than what I've been trying to be lately)
I don't wanna be anything other than me
I don't wanna be (other than what I've been trying to be lately)
I don't wanna be anything other than me
