ANTOINETTE - I wanna be me lyrics

(Me!) (me!)

(Me!) (me!) (me!)

(Me!) (me!)

(Me!) (me!) (me!)

Has anybody ever tried to change ya

Shape ya, mix and twist, rearrange ya?

And tell ya, you gotta, gotta

Become a lawyer, politician or a doctor?

Why, oh why, I wonder

If you ain't all of that, you're a bleep and a blunder

(Yo, that's wack) Word up, Gee

Yo, why can't they see?

I wanna be me, yeah

Oh-oh

Me, yeah

Me, nobody else [x2]

My oh my, I must've shocked ya

I'm paid in full, but I'm no doctor

I got a mind of my own, and I used it

And as for an occupation I choose this

Just because your path I didn't take

Doesn't mean capital A made a mistake

That's the problem, you try to rule us

You think you school us, but do nothin but fool us

Too much gold and too much make-up

My dress too short? Yo, you better wake up

Cause I ain't you and you ain't me

So, why can't you see

I wanna be me, yeah

Oh-oh

Me, yeah

Me, nobody else [x2]

(Me!) (me!) (me!) [x2]

I wanna be -

Me, therefore I have to live up

To my expectations, so I can't give up

Cause one downs me and jokes

But just like smoke that happens to provoke

(Me) (Trust it)

So bust It

And keep on strivin and keep on strugglin

Cause those who talk small don't mean nothin

And you gots to be the best that you can be

And as long as it's up to me -

I wanna be me, yeah

Oh-oh

Me, yeah

Me, nobody else [x2]

So - if anybody ever tries to change ya

Shape ya, mix and twist, rearrange ya

And tell ya, you gotta, gotta

Become a lawyer, politician or a doctor

Tell em: you ain't got the right to choose for me
