All my life I've tried to please
Disregarding my own needs
Now it's time for me to be free!

Pivot

And if you don't like it
You can do what you wanna do
And if you don't invite it
It ain got to have nothing to do with you

 [bad word] 

Lemme be what I want to
Can I be me?
I need to be what I want to be
I'm an individual, I'm into individuality
I'm an individual, I'm into individuality
Can't nobody be me
Can't nobody be you
God made everybody just the way that He wanted to!

I'm not trying to separate
I just want to celebrate
The ending of the sublimation… of my soul!

Be who you are…do what you do…be grateful that you are
