Somebody New
[Intro]
Ok, I'm gonna do it like that

[Verse 1]
I never got with the program
The teacher would call me out
For daydreamin' I was like
"Dayum, I'll just hop out"
I cried into soggy cornflakes
My mom sent me back to school
Cause nobody wants a flunky in grade two

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I wanna speak facts but I can barely breathe
I wanna bring myself out but I'm in too deep
I've always had this intensity
I guess that's what just makes me, me

[Chorus]
How I'm suppose to be myself
From always taking notes from someone else
And everything I do seems to offend somebody new
I've been tryna love myself
And never compared to someone else
Cause everything I do makes me feel like somebody new

[Verse 2]
I never got A's that easy
The summer didn't last that long
Spent it on a halfpipe
"Dayum, I'll just drop in"
I tie my Vans with broken laces
Got green paint stains on my jeans
Guess I'll graduate with braces on my teeth

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I wanna run track when it's time to walk
I wanna speak up when it's wrong to not
I've always had this integrity
I guess that's just what makes me, me

[Chorus]
How I'm suppose to be myself
From always taking notes from someone else
And everything I do seems to offend somebody new
I've been tryna love myself
And never compared to someone else
Cause everything I do makes me feel like somebody new

[Verse 3]
This is how I do
This is how I'll be
I know sometimes my socks don't match
I guess it's in my genes
This is how I do
This is how I'll be
It may not seem like much to you
But it's enough for me

[Outro]
Ooh, you know how I do
You know that it's true
So let me be me and I'll let you be you
