In a world so complicated

Sometimes I wonder how I make it

(With all the hate and all the fame)

How do I keep a smiling face

See all I wanna do is sing

Without compromising me

So hard to stay true to me in a lying industry

And I just wanna be able

To wear my own hair and nails

(And not be judged for)

How much money

I make how many records I sale

(Cause that don't define me)

How can I teach my son to

Be a leader if I'm always following

(That's right)

Too much stress to be someone else

It's hard enough just being me

I just wanna be me

(All the time seven days a week)

I just wanna be me

(Summer Fall and Winter Spring)

I just wanna be me

(Best qualified for the job)

No one can be any better than me

I just wanna be me

(In the Chi Where I'm from to overseas)

I just wanna be me

(With my friends and my family)

I just wanna be me

(Best qualified for the job)

No one can be any better than me

Threw all my cards upon the table

Started my own record label

(Decided it was time for me)

To do this by myself

I'm tryna do real big things

Tryna be all I can be

(But I gotta still do me)

No matter what hand is dealt

And I just wanna be able to wear

My own hair and nails

(And not be judged for)

How much money

I make how many records I sale

(Cause that don't define me)

How can I teach my son to be a leader

If I'm always following

(That's right)

Too much stress to be someone else

It's hard enough just being me

I just wanna be me

(All the time seven days a week)

I just wanna be me

(Summer Fall and Winter Spring)

I just wanna be me

(Best qualified for the job)

No one can't be any better than me

I just wanna be me

(In the Chi Where I'm from to overseas)

I just wanna be me

(With my friends and my family)

I just wanna be me

(Best qualified for the job)

No one can't be any better than me

And I keep telling myself to believe

It's what I keep on telling myself everyday

No matter what the world may think

I'm gonna be me

(All the time seven days a week)

I just wanna be me

(Summer Fall Winter and Spring)

I just wanna be me

(Best qualified for the job)

No one can't be any better than me

I just wanna be me

(In the Chi Where I'm from to overseas)

I just wanna be me

(With my friends and my family)

I just wanna be me

(Best qualified for the job)

No one can't be any better than me

I just wanna be me

I just wanna be me

I just wanna be me yeah yeah uh-hu
