Ryan Malcolm - I Gotta Be Me lyrics

My first grade teacher said that if I wanted to get ahead, I

Have to learn to pay attention

But I've never listened to a word she said, And I

Always wound up in detention

It wasn't fair, I didn't care

I gotta be me,

Never fit into the box,

I gotta be me,

Mr. Unorthadox,

I gotta be me,

Always different from the crowd,

I gotta be me,

Even my whisper comes out loud

I remember working my very first job I was lifting crates,

It's possible you'll never fit in, ha

He's the one that's stuck there living inside a life he hates,

And I'm the one who's really living, yeah

It wasn't fair, oh I didn't care

It wasn't fair, woah woah woah woah, I didn't care
