Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, hey hey hey hey
Good God, good God
Hey, hey, hey hey hey hey
Whoo, uh
[Verse 2]
Well I wear my clothes like this because I can (Because I can)
And I wear my hair like this because I can (Because I can)
And I walk around like this because I can (Because I can)
And I do my thing like this 'cause it's who I am
(It's who I am)
[Verse 3]
And if you're expectin' me to give you an apology (Gy)
For bein' nothing that you're used to (Used to)
Well, go on right ahead and wait (Wait)
Hold you breathe and concentrate (Trate)
Keep holdin' till your face turn blue (Turns blue)
[Verse 4]
My road, it ain't your road, but trust I know just where I'm goin'
And my flow, it ain't your flow but trust I know (Just how I'm flowin')
I'ma do my thing (I'ma do my, I'ma do my thing)
Please feel free to hate and complain
Said I'ma do my thing (I'ma do my, I'ma do my thing)
Say what you want 'cause this one ain't gonna change
Said I'ma do my thing
(Huh, huh, huh, ha, ha, ha, ha)
[Verse 5]
I can't wear my clothes like you because I'm not (Because I'm not)
I can't do my hair like you because I'm not (Because I'm not)
I can't walk around like you because I'm not (Ha, ha)
I can't do my thing like you, well that just ain't hot
[Verse 6]
And if you're expectin' me (Me) to give you an apology (Gy)
For bein' nothing that like you used to (Used to)
Well, go on right ahead and wait (Wait)
Hold you breathe and concentrate (Trate)
Keep holdin' till your face turns blue (Turns blue)
[Verse 7]
See, my road, it ain't your road, but trust I (Know just where I'm goin')
And my flow, it ain't your flow, but trust I (Know just how I'm flowin')
I'ma do my thing (I'ma do my, I'ma do my thing)
So please feel free to hate and complain
I'ma do my thing (I'ma do my, I'ma do my thing)
And say what you like 'cause this one ain't gonna change
I'ma do my thing
[Verse 8]
You don't know where I'm goin', and so you think I'm lost
I ain't on your page, okay, so to you, that means I'm off
When I dance, I dance to the beat of
A drummer you don't hear and you can't see
So if I look offbeat to you well, the problem must be you, not me
Irregular but never irrelevant, unusual but never uncool
You're not cut from my cloth, so you don't get me
Well I don't get you
Either a believer of the fact that unique equals love
So if I'm goin' too fast for you, open your mind and speed off
[Verse 9]
My road, it ain't your road, but trust I (Know just where I'm goin')
And my flow ain't your flow but trust me I know
Know just how I'm flowin'
I'ma do my thing (I'ma do my, I'ma do my thing)
Please feel free to hate and complain
I'ma do my thing (I'ma do my, I'ma do my thing)
And say what you like 'cause this one ain't gonna change
I'ma do my thing
[Verse 10]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah
