I Gotta Be Me Songtext
von Ryan Malcolm

My first grade teacher said that if I wanted to get ahead
I′d 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
I 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
The boss said "boy, you'll never fit in"
Ha
But he's the one that′s stuck there living inside a life he hates
And I′m the one who's really living

It wasn′t fair
I didn't care
I gotta be me
I 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


It wasn′t fair (woah, woah, woah, woah)
I didn't care
I gotta be me
I 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 (whoa now, yeah yeah)

I 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 (even my whisper, even my whisper)

I never fit into the box (I never fit into the box)
Mr. Unorthodox
I gotta be me
Always different from the crowd (you know different from the crowd)
I gotta be me
