All I have to do is stick to me and I'll be somebody.
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind.
All I have to do is think of you
And I'll be the one to be
All I have to do is think of me
And I have peace of mind.
Doo bop shoo wada
Or who I'm supposed to be
I came from the mountain and blood sucking tissues.
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation.
I came from the mountain, the blood sucking issue.
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation.
I came from the mountain
No crud suck in Asia.
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
I can't be the only one concerned.
I can't be the only one who's learned.
I can't find no mountain, the blood-sucking Asian.
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation.
I don't have to be anything other than
A birthday cake soaked in wine.
I don't have to be anyone other than
The birth of two souls in one.
I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialty sign
I don't need to be anyone other than a bird that's dipped its soles in wine
Part of where I'm going is nowhere where I'm coming from.
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 a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from.
I don't need to be anything other than
A Unabomber's son.
I don't need to be anything other than
A prison guard's son.
I don't need to be anything other than
A crazy yard sign
I don't need to be anything other than
A special design.
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 need to be anything other than
A special intern.
I don't need to be anything other than
A specialist's son.
I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard sign
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist sign.
I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist son.
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specimen's one.
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son.
I don't want a bee.
Hey yeah, hey yeah,
I don't want a bee.
I don't wanna be.
Hey yeah, hey yeah,
I don't wanna be.
I don't want to be anything other than
A wannabe, wannabe lady.
I don't want to be anything other than
What I've been trying to be lately.
I'm surrounded by energy crisis.
or
I'm surrounded by vanity crisis.
I'm surrounded by identity crisis.
I'm surrounded by energy crisis
Everywhere I turn.
I'm surrounded by identity crisis
Everywhere I turn.
I'm surrounded by family crisis
Everywhere I turn.
I'm surrounded by identity crisis
Everywhere I turn.
I'm a wannabe
I don't want to be
Trying to be a lady
Trying to be lately
Trying to be a baby
Trying to be lately
