I′m gonna do it like that

I never got with the programThe teacher would call me out

For daydreaming, I was like

"Damn, I'll just hop out"

I cried into soggy cornflakes

My mom sent me back to school

′Cause nobody wants a flunky in grade two

I wanna speak facts but I can barely breathe

I wanna bring myself out but I'm in too deep

I've always had this intensity

I guess that′s just what makes me, me

How am I supposed to be myself

From always taking notes from someone else?

And everything I do seems to offend somebody new

I′ve been tryna love myself

I've never compared to someone else

′Cause everything I do makes me feel like somebody new

I never got A's that′s easy

The summer didn't last that long

I spent it on a halfpipe

"Damn, I′ll just drop in"

I tie my Vans with broken laces

Got green paint stains on my jeans

Guess I'll graduate with braces on my teeth

I wanna run track when it's time to walk

I wanna speak up when it′s wrong or not

I′ve always had this integrity

I guess that's just what makes me, me

How am I suppose to be myself

From always taking notes from someone else?

And everything I do seems to offend somebody new

I′ve been tryna love myself

And never compared to someone else

'Cause everything I do makes me feel like somebody new

This is how I do

This is how I′ll be

I know sometimes my socks don't match

I guess it′s in my genes

This is how I do

This is how I'll be

It may not seem like much to you

But it's enough for me

Ooh, you know how I do

You know that it′s true

So let me be me and I′ll let you be you
