I Don’t Wanna Be

I don’t need to be anything other

Than a prison guard’s son

I don’t need to be anything other

Than a specialist’s son

I don’t have to be anything other

Than the birth of two souls in one

Part of where I’m going, is knowing where I’m coming from

I don’t want to be anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately

All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind.

I’m tired of looking round rooms wondering what I gotta do

Or who I’m supposed to be.

I don’t want to be anything other than me

I’m surrounded by liars everywhere I turn

I’m surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn

I’m surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn

Am I the only one who noticed?

I can’t be the only one who’s learned

Can I have everyone’s attention please

See, not like this and that

You’re gonna have to leave

I came from the mountain, the crust of creation

My whole situation made from clay, dust, stone

And now I’m telling everybody

I don’t want to be anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately

All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind.

I’m tired of looking round rooms wondering what I gotta do

Or who I’m supposed to be.

I don’t want to be anything other than me
