[verse 1]
I know just who I be, I know just what I need
Don't need no sympathy, I just wanna live my life
´Cause life is so beautiful in my eyes
I love the birds and bees all in the summer breeze
Or chillin' at the beach, I love to enjoy my life
Leave your stress and troubles behind

[chorus]
That's the way I am and I don't give a damn
If you really don't understand, cause I'm payin' my own rent
And I never ask for sympathy
All I wanna know's if you're down with me
So don't misunderstand, cause that's just the way I am

[verse 2]
I know what's family, I know what's loyalty
I know just how it feels for someone to love you right
Cause life's so beautiful in my eyes
I love expensive things, champagne and diamond rings
But life without these things
Is still a wonderful life, just be thankful you're alive

[bridge]
I'm gonna live the way I live
Enjoy my life, live positive
And help someone who ask
It's time well spend
'Cause that's the way that I am
