  • Ooh-wah-ooh-wah-ooh-wah-ooh
    Ain't got nothing left to prove
    Man, I'm finally free
    Damn, it feels good to be me

    You're shining
    When you act yourself
    Wish I coulda learned that
    'Fore I went through hell
    Lord, I was trying
    To flip the cards I was dealt
    I was tired of hiding
    I had some words with myself

    I said stop
    Tryna be the things that I'm not
    Tryna be like everyone else
    Tryna fit inside of that box
    Oh-oh, you got
    Magic inside of your heart
    Had it right from the start
    Copycatting's dirty
    Nothing worse than being thirsty

    Ooh-wah-ooh-wah-ooh-wah-ooh
    I'm no good at being you
    My philosophy
    Damn, it feels good to be me
    Ooh-wah-ooh-wah-ooh-wah-ooh
    Ain't got nothing left to prove
    Man, I'm finally free
    Damn, it feels good to be me

    Da-da, da-da-da
    Da-da, da-da-da
    Da-da, da-da-da
    Damn, it feels good to be me

    You don't start living
    'Til you kill that shade
    So I won't listen
    To the hate parade
    I know that I'm not
    Everyone's cup of tea
    So people spit me right out now
    When they ask me to leave

    That's when I stop
    Tryna be the things that I'm not
    Tryna be like everyone else
    Tryna fit inside of that box
    Oh-oh, you got
    Magic inside of your heart
    Had it right from the start
    Copycatting's dirty
    Nothing worse than being thirsty

    Ooh-wah-ooh-wah-ooh-wah-ooh
    I'm no good at being you
    My philosophy
    Damn, it feels good to be me
    Ooh-wah-ooh-wah-ooh-wah-ooh
    Ain't got nothing left to prove
    Man, I'm finally free
    Damn, it feels good to be me

    Da-da, da-da-da
    Da-da, da-da-da
    Da-da, da-da-da
    Damn, it feels good to be me
    Da-da, da-da-da
    Da-da, da-da-da
    Da-da, da-da-da
    Damn, it feels good to be me
    Da-da, da-da-da
