[Verse 1]
Mommy used to say to me
Bein' you's the best you can be
And I make my mistakes
But I don't change my ways
Because I'm satisfied with me
And I don't trip when my friends they say to me
"Damn, you're mean"
Just because I see them same as they but differently

[Chorus]
Well, you're trippin' if you're thinkin'
That I ain't gonna speak my mind
Well, pardon me for livin', expressin' my opinion
That's just the way I see it
Oh, oh, come on

[Verse 2]
Two, three, four
Even if I really could change
I think people would find me strange
They think I'm buggin', maybe on somethin'
Just because it wouldn't be me
So don't get mad
'cause we don't see the same, 'cause that's ok
You be you and I'll
I'll just concentrate on bein' me
[Chorus]
Well, you're trippin' if you're thinkin'
That I ain't gonna speak my mind
Well, pardon me for livin', expressin' my opinion
That's just the way I see it
Oh, oh, yeah

[Bridge]
I won't apologize for bein' strong
'Cause that ain't wrong
I don't know how to be any one else but me

[Chorus]
Well you're trippin' if you're thinkin'
That I ain't gonna speak my mind
Well pardon me for livin', expressin' my opinion
That's just the way I see it
Oh, oh, yeah
Well you're trippin' if you're thinkin'
That I ain't gonna speak my mind
Well pardon me for livin', expressin' my opinion
That's just the way I see it
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah
That's just the way I see it
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah
That's just the way
That's just the way I see it
