Somebody New

I never got with the program

The teacher would call me out

For daydreaming I was like

Dayum 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

If I'm 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

"Dayum I'll just drop in"

I tie my Cans 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 I'm suppose to by myself

If I'm 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 I do

You know that it's true

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