I Don't Want to Be (Chariot 20)
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 anyone other
Than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going
Is knowing where I'm coming from
I don't wanna be anything other than
What I've been tryna 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've gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars
Everywhere I turn
Surrounded by imposters
Everywhere I turn
Surrounded by identity crisis
Everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned
I don't wanna be anything other than
What I've been tryna 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've gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me, yeah
Can I have everyone's attention, please?
If you're 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 to stone
And now I'm telling everybody
I don't wanna be anything other than
What I've been tryna 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've gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
I don't wanna be, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
I don't wanna be, nah-no, nah-nah, no
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be anything
Anything other than (I don't wanna be) me, yeah
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 anyone other
Than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going
Is knowing where I'm coming from
I don't wanna be anything other than
What I've been tryna 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've gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars
Everywhere I turn
Surrounded by imposters
Everywhere I turn
Surrounded by identity crisis
Everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned
I don't wanna be anything other than
What I've been tryna 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've gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me, yeah
Can I have everyone's attention, please?
If you're 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 to stone
And now I'm telling everybody
I don't wanna be anything other than
What I've been tryna 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've gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
I don't wanna be, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
I don't wanna be, nah-no, nah-nah, no
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be anything
Anything other than (I don't wanna be) me, yeah
