Mommy used to say to me
Being you’s the best you can be
Made my mistakes
Don’t change my ways
Because I’m satisfied with me
See, I don’t trip when my friends, they say to me
Damn you’re mean
Just because I see them same as they but differently

[Chorus]
Well you’re trippin’ if you’re thinkin’,
That I ain’t gonna speak my mind
Well pardon me for livin’, expressin’ my opinion
That’s just the way I see it

[Two, three, four]
Even if I really could change
I think people would find me strange
They think I’m buggin’, maybe on somethin’
Just because it wouldn’t be me
So don’t get mad cause we don’t see the same, cause that’s ok
You be you and I’ll,
I’ll concentrate on bein’ me

[Chorus]

I won’t apologize for bein’ strong,
Cause that ain’t wrong.
I don’t know how to be any one else but me.

[Chorus to end]
