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 want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately All I have to do is think of me and I'd be somebody I'm tired of looking ‘round rooms wondering what I gotta do Or who I'm supposed to be I don't want to be anything other than me 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? I can't be the only one who's learned (Chorus) I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately All I have to do is think of me and I'd be somebody I'm tired of looking ‘round rooms wondering what I gotta do Or who I'm supposed to be I don't want to be anything other than me 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 (Chorus) I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately All I have to do is think of me and I'd be somebody I'm tired of looking ‘round rooms wondering what I gotta do Or who I'm supposed to be I don't want to be anything other than me I don't want to be I don't want to be I don't want to be I don't want to be
