All my life, I've tried to please
Disregarding my own needs
Now, it's time for me to be free
And if you don't like it, you can do what you wanna do
And if you don't invite it
It ain't got to have nothin' to do with you

Let me be what I want to
Can I be me?
I need to be what I want to be
I'm an individual
I'm into individuality
I'm an individual
I'm into individuality
Can't nobody be me
Can't nobody be you
God made everybody just the way that he wanted to

I'm not trying to separate
I just want to celebrate the ending of the sublimation of my soul
And if you don't like it, you can do what you wanna do
And if you don't invite it
It ain't got to have nothin' to do with you

Let me be what I want to
Can I be me?
I need to be what I want to be
I'm an individual
I'm into individuality
I'm an individual
I'm into individuality
Can't nobody be me
Can't nobody be you
God made everybody just the way that she wanted to

Be who you are, do what you do
Be grateful that you are
