I′m Gonna Do It Like That

I Never Got With The ProgramThe Teacher Would Call Me Out
For Daydreaming, 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 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
From 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
"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 Or Not
I′ve Always Had This Integrity
I Guess That's Just What Makes Me, Me

How Am I 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
