Gotta Be
I followed that lilt of your siren song
Deep inside, I knew I had to join along
The infectious groove that rang so true
That sense of déjà vu
Deep inside, all mystified
I knew what I had to do
Don't put your expectations down on me
'Cause I'm just fixin' on shapin' my own destiny, yeah!
Gotta be what I gotta be
Ain't no time for nothin' else (Woo!)
Gotta be what I gotta be, yeah
Makes no sense to fool myself
My brother, my friend (Yeah!)
Made it clear just who I am
Now I see that I gotta be what I gotta be
Come on, Floyd!
Well, sometimes things can get a little rough
Oh, no doubt
Tell mama and them you're comin' around
Oh, at my house (My house!)
Oh fade, oh dough, and as we go
To face the winds of fate (Woo!)
Please pardon my exuberation
And I pontificate! (Yeah!)
There's no more than no one can discover
Yeah, you're right, for sure
That there could be no better brother!
Gotta be what you gotta be
Ain't no time for nothin' else (Woo!)
Gotta be what you gotta be
Makes no sense to fool yourself
My brother, my star
You made it clear just who you are
And now I see that you gotta be what you gotta be
I know you got my back
And you know I got yours
Those that do not follow
They're called non sequiturs!
Let the good times rock
Ooh, baby, roll on by!
We're better together
Like birds of a feather
Like ice cream and apple pie!
Gotta be what we gotta be
Ain't no time for nothin' else
No no, no there ain't
Gotta be what we gotta be, yeah
Makes no sense to fool ourself
And by makin' it this far
We made it clear just who we are
Now they see that we gotta be what we gotta be
Now they see that we gotta be what we gotta be
Who you gonna be?
I gotta be me!
That's right!
Ahahahaha! Hahahaha!
Deep inside, I knew I had to join along
The infectious groove that rang so true
That sense of déjà vu
Deep inside, all mystified
I knew what I had to do
Don't put your expectations down on me
'Cause I'm just fixin' on shapin' my own destiny, yeah!
Gotta be what I gotta be
Ain't no time for nothin' else (Woo!)
Gotta be what I gotta be, yeah
Makes no sense to fool myself
My brother, my friend (Yeah!)
Made it clear just who I am
Now I see that I gotta be what I gotta be
Come on, Floyd!
Well, sometimes things can get a little rough
Oh, no doubt

Oh fade, oh dough, and as we go
To face the winds of fate (Woo!)

That there could be no better brother!
Gotta be what you gotta be
Ain't no time for nothin' else (Woo!)
Gotta be what you gotta be
Makes no sense to fool yourself

That's right!
Ahahahaha! Hahahaha!
