| Who I am Don't tell me Don't tell me anything Don't tell me anything about anything Tell me anything and I won't hear I won't because I can't I can't hear anything Tell me nothing about it Never tell me Never tell me what you say Don't tell me how to live my life And especially don't tell me who to be This is who I am This is all I can be This is my fate, my destiny You can't change that Try� and you won't succeed It's in my soul� Who I am I am a person A person who wants to be someone Someone That someone is me I want to be me That is all Is it a sin? Is it a crime? To be one's self? To live one's own life? To what one likes Do you really care? About what one likes and wears I try to wear what I like To do what I do I like the majority The majority is good The majority of my life The minority kills me It would kill anybody The pressure that comes with this life The pressure from peers And when you get passed that� Like I did There is the pressure from you The pressure to be like you, or� What you want The pressure to direct myself from me Who I am I am not you Not anything like you We believe different things We like other stuff I will never be you All I can be is me Follow my own fate not yours Hoping that you understand That this is me Who my soul is Don't be embarrassed Why are you?
