Lyrics lyrics I went to school I learned my abcs I tried to be cool I tried to be seen I don't like rules I try to stay clean I ain't nobodys fool I don't wanna be mean Other people try to kill my dreams They don't believe in what I believe And Who I was Born To Be I went to work It was not a good scene There were so many jerks not where I wanted to be I like to flirt but she is so pretty And I am so unsure It's hard to be me Other people try to kill my dreams They don't believe in what I believe And Who I was Born To Be Born To Be What will it take for me I wanna stay strong Sometimes I feel the pain it goes on so long I'm trying to defeat All this negativity And tell the demons that I meet to move on Other people try to kill my dreams They don't believe in what I believe And Who I was Born To Be And Who I was Born To Be And Who I was Born To Be Born To Be Born To Be Born To Be I just wanted to be me Born To Be I just wanted to be me Born To Be I just wanted to be me Born To Be I just wanted to be me Born To Be I just wanted to be me Born To Be I just wanted to be me Born To Be I just wanted to be me
