Somebody New

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
I wanna speak facts but I can barely breathe
I wanna bring myself out but I’m in too deep
I’ve always ad this intensity
I guess that’s what makes me, me
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
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
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 what makes me, me
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
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
Ooh, you know how I do
You know that it’s true
So let me be me and I’ll let you be you
