I never got with the program

The teacher would call me out

For daydreaming 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 had this intensity

I guess that's just what makes me, me

How I'm supposed to be myself

If I'm always taking notes from someone else

And everything I do seems to offend somebody new

I've been tryna love myself

And never compare 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

I 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

I 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 just what makes me, me

How I'm supposed to be myself

If I'm always taking notes from someone else

And everything I do seems to offend somebody new

I've been tryna love myself

And never compare to someone else

Cause everything I do makes me feel like somebody new

This is how I do

This is how I 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 be

It may not seem like much to you, but it's enough for me

Ooh, you know how I do

And you know that it's true

So let me be me and I'll let you be you
