| «It is you, you are you, you are you»
|
| There’s nothing, that you can do about it
|
| The one thing that I’ve figured out is «you are you»
|
| Forget it, there’s no way around it
|
| «It is you, you are you, you are you»
|
| No matter what I do to try and fit in
|
| There’s nothing I can do about this body I was given
|
| I’m blond and I am skinny, with my mom’s? |
| skin
|
| The Scotter side, and my father schnoz to go with it
|
| Nice nose, my hair, yeah I can try and dye it
|
| And contacts could change the color of my eyes but «you are you»
|
| That would only mean that I am lying
|
| And openly denying it’s not who, who I am
|
| I try to be too big for my britches
|
| And couldn’t, regardless of my Skee-Lo wishes
|
| A couple more inches and I would be in business
|
| But still I’m waking up 5'10 every Christmas «you are you»
|
| My fingerprints is what makes me different
|
| It took a little bit, but I can finally admit it
|
| This is my appearance, this is my face
|
| Looking in the mirror there is nothing I can change
|
| Might be a little strange, the way you can see my veins
|
| But if we were the same, the world would be plain vain
|
| It would be lame, you would never learn a thing
|
| So go against the grain, and let these people know your name «you are you»
|
| Dog kiss culprits, all getting a girl
|
| Due to hip hop invisible pulping off the wall
|
| Nothing to play with, skipping all the way with
|
| It conveying who we all are, how we all fit in this mosaic
|
| Portrait, thesis of a brother
|
| Homosexual being last pieces of the puzzle
|
| All religion who read divine pine verse
|
| Could God once pray, folks get their mind right first
|
| Then weed out, legitimate seed crop
|
| ? |
| with? |
| feed like intrigue why
|
| And politics, harvest the chatter
|
| Dissect good from garbage that’ll matter «you are you»
|
| Now I doubt you, but allowed to
|
| What amounts to, that’s just what adults do
|
| Keeping with the pace of barbarian
|
| Keeping goldy jewels in the face of American «you are you»
|
| Besides, it’s all about your mind
|
| Your will and your drive, and what’s going on inside
|
| The size of your heart is what sets you apart
|
| If you aren’t using it, I suggest that you start «you are you»
|
| Think hard, take a walk around the block «you are you»
|
| It’s cool if you’re a nerd, or a jock
|
| Or a prep, or a goth, nobody gives a fuck
|
| There’s nothing you can do, just stop, just stop, man
|
| Mad props since I linked up with Knotts
|
| Still never wear socks, always in flip flops
|
| No chain or a watch, I be slinging no rocks
|
| But my slang be the thang that be saving hip hop (he's good)
|
| Screw the box, go outside the lines
|
| Just be you, stop with the trying
|
| And in due time, it is true you will find
|
| There is nothing to remember if you never ever lie «you are you» |
