I Wanna Be Me

(chorus)
everybody wants to be like you
and do the things that you do
they follow you wherever you go
it's just too bad that they don't know
they don't see what i see in you
if everybody does it then i should too
well i guess there's something
that i should be
no society, i wanna be me.

are you ready for the words
spittin out of my mouth
i got enough weight to weigh you down and give you a workout
keep gettin em hittin em
got them whisperin let me in
got them guessin i'm lettin em get to me
but they sweatin i'm settin the score to be more than before
jacorre opens the door forever more
he'll tell you what's in store
when you're hittin the floor
and you're sittin thinkin
that you made a million or more.

(chorus)

you must think you're so cool now
drivin round with ya car pool
revin up the engines
so the ladies can see you
put the pedal to the metal
drop the gears until it settles into place
you won the race with first place ooooo
you turn around with windows down
base up, yellin what's up
sippin the cup
livin life like you don't give a what
the grass is always greener
on the other side
but with a closer look
i saw that the grass died.

(chorus)

i'm not gonna conform to the norm
or deform the form that was given to me
can't you see i'm always gonna be me
i wanna look in the mirror everyday
and be proud of what i see
i made mistakes in the past
but the present's here at last
and i'm gonna make it last
the hands of time are tickin too fast
who knows if
tomorrow's gonna be our last.

(chorus 2x)
