I Gotta Be Me (Malcolm Ryan)

My first grade teacher said that if I wanted to get ahead, I Have to learn to pay attention But I 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. Unorthodox, 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, My boss said "Boy, 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 [Chorus 2x]
