Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

I wear my clothes like this, because I can

And I wear my hair like this, because I can

And I walk around like this, because I can

And I do my thing like this, cuz it's who I am

And if you are expecting me to give you an apology

For being nothing that you're used to

Go right on and hand away

Hold your breath and concentrate

Keep holding till your face turn blue, turns blue

My role, it ain't your role

But trust, I know

I know just where I'm going

My flow, it ain't your flow

But trust, I know

I know just how I'm flowing

I'mma do my thing, I'mma do my, I'mma do my thing

Please feel free to hate and complain

Said I'mma do my thing, I'mma do my, I'mma do my thing

Say what you want, but this one ain't gonna change

Said I'mma do my thing

I can't wear my clothes like you, because I'm not

I can't do my hair like you, because I'm not

I can't walk around like you, because I'm not

I can't do my thing like you, well that just ain't hot

And if you are expecting me to give you an apology

For being nothing like you're used to, used to

Go right on and hand away

Hold your breath and concentrate

Keep holding till your face turns blue

My role, it ain't your role

But trust, I know

I know just where I'm going

My flow, it ain't your flow

But trust, I know

I know just how I'm flowing

I'mma do my thing, I'mma do my, I'mma do my thing

So please feel free to hate and complain

I'mma do my thing, I'mma do my, I'mma do my thing

And say what you like, cuz this one ain't gonna change

I'mma do my thing

You don't know where I'm going, and so you think I'm lost

I ain't on your page, ok,

So to you, that means I'm off

When I dance, I dance to the beat

Of a drummer you don't hear and you can't see

So if I look offbeat to you,

The problem must be you not me

Irregular, but never irrelevant

Unusual, but never uncool

You're not caught for my close,

You don't get me, well I don't get you

Either a believer of the fact that you need equal's love

So I won't go into the vast with you

Open your mind and speed up

My road, it ain't your road,

But just don't know just where I'm going

My flow it ain't your flow,

But trust me, I know, just how I'm flowing

I'mma do my thing, I'mma do my thing

Please feel free to hate everything

Said I'mma do my thing

I'mma do my thing, I'mma do my thing

Say what you'd like cause this one ain't gonna change

I'mma do my thing, I'mma do my thing
