Verse 1
I been told I take too much
Don't leave enough
Try to be considerate
Partially illiterate
Feed my mind
Eat my soul
Little too drunk
Prolly too old
I'm too white
Too wrong
Can't sing
Shit song
Won't be dancing my two right feet
Can't find the beat

Cuz I been living my whole life
Stuck in my own mind, Ohh
Yea I be doing my own thing
One of a kind-ing
Ohh yeaaa
My momma told me

Chorus
Be nice
Don't hate
Don't cry
No way
Be free
Be you
Smile
Stay true
Stay true to you (x3)

Verse 2
Never The exception too inept
Searching for the meaning I'm not adept
I won't adapt
Might be adopted
Cyndi Lauper in a room full of Rock kids
Blame me
I'm bad
Tries hard
Too sad
Too rad to ever apologize
Or just ill advised
Cuz I been living my whole life Stuck in my own mind
Ohh
Yea I be doing my own thing One of a kind-ing
Ohh yeaaa
My momma told me
Be nice Don't hate Don't cry No way
Be free Be you Smile Stay true
Stay true to you (x3)
Yea I be doing my own thing One of a kind -ing
Ohh yeaaa
My momma told me

Chorus
Be nice
Don't hate
Don't cry
No way
Be free
Be you
Smile
Stay true
Stay true to you (x3)
