Somebody New

Ok I'm gonna do it like that

I never got with the program

The teacher would call me out

For daydreamin' 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 flunkee 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 I'm 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

I never got A's that easy

The summer didn't last that long

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 to not

I've always had this integrity

I guess that's just what makes me me

How I'm 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
