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 the birth of two souls in one 

Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from 



(Chorus) 

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'd be somebody 

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 to notice? 

I can't be the only one who's learned 



(Chorus) 

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'd be somebody 

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 



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 



(Chorus) 

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'd be somebody 

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 don't want to be 

I don't want to be 

I don't want to be 

I don't want to be
