Drown 'Em Out

Listen, Most of us look into a mirror and
Wonder if anything could've been different
What if my smile was prettier, lips injected, tits lifted up a bit
What if we switched with each other,
Would it really ever make 'em love us more
A problem we can't ignore, and it does shake me to the core
Like damn, yo. what the hell is wrong with you
This is the world you were brought into
And I bet your mom would like to argue too
That perfect is another word for garbage
She made you, Raised you, Why would you wanna change that
For somebody who dates you to play you
Don't expect a fake face to stay true
They aint capable, babe this aint news
So Heed the words, I know that you're deep in search
For a simple something that works
And it may lift you however brief
Just to smack you down in grief

I don't wanna be like you
I just wanna be happy with who I am, without feeling ashamed
And if it's true
That beauty is only on the surface
Then believe me it will hurt us
Because
Our love is clouded, by those who doubt it
And yell the loudest
We need to drown 'em out
Until we do
Something about it, Something about it
Oh, Oh, Oh

I can't stand when I see a parent force
a kid to inherit a skill they don't want
So he can land some merits to get a job and a
mansion until his daddy's dream has finally paid off
10 percent of people actually wanna do
90 percent of people want the benefits
So they rag on the dogooders and tell 'em to get a job
Conform and pray to the same money made god
And that's fucked up, you wanna be unique but tough luck
But I say fuck 'em and go for broke
'Cause in a toe to toe then you totally own 'em
I'd rather die happy and broke in an old folks home
Than to know that I gave my dreams up
I wanna be when Scotty beams me up
FUCK
Just be you and live your life
'Cause it aint right to have somebody control you
Might seem new and it might seem frightening
Tell 'em. I don't wanna be like you

I don't wanna be like you
I just wanna be happy with who I am, without feeling ashamed
And if it's true
That beauty is only on the surface
Then believe me it will hurt us
Because
Our love is clouded, by those who doubt it
And yell the loudest
We need to drown 'em out
Until we do
Something about it, Something about it
Oh, Oh, Oh

Spent so long trying to live in someone elses shoes
All I wanted was to be somebody who belongs
I forgot about myself and it made me confused
I never thought that your right would be my wrong

I don't wanna be like you
I just wanna be happy with who I am, without feeling ashamed
And if it's true
That beauty is only on the surface
Then believe me it will hurt us
Because
Our love is clouded, by those who doubt it
And yell the loudest
We need to drown 'em out
Until we do
Something about it, Something about it
Oh, Oh, Oh

Yeah
I just wanna be happy with who I am, with who I am, with who I am
I just wanna be happy with who I am, with who I am, with who I am
