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
