We were all born in different places
We were all raised in different places
We were granted different faces
That's just some of our graces
So why do we all strive to be the same
To look the same and play the same game
With nothing to gain but twitter and tumblr fame
Other people, that's who we try to please
At the cost of our own originality, individuality
And replace this with things like ignorance and brutality
I'm not gonna lie, I was like that once
Wanted to be the class clown and act like a dunce
Pleasing other people really to no avail
Entertaining others while my classes is what I fail
Doing favors for others trying to cheer them up
While they all look at me like I'm their little pup
Tired of being disrespected
Doing things that others requested
So finally I decided to look in the mirror and say "STOP,
From now on Ima do it all for me"
