You don't gotta do the things they do
You don't gotta say the things they say
You don't gotta think the way they think
You don't gotta play the way they play
You can do it all on your own time
You can do it all on your own vibe
I could never be them so I don't try
I just keep it real and do it to my own vibe
(x2)
[Verse 1]
Listen man I'm used to not being cool
I just take the negativity and make it a tool
To encourage me to be myself and never change
Except to change for the better and effort is all it takes
I don't need acceptance from my peers to feel fulfilled
I just need to know I'm showing love for what we've built
Me and God, pretty tight yeah we're Father and Son
I don't follow the trends, I only follow his love cuz
[Hook]
You don't gotta do the things they do
You don't gotta say the things they say
You don't gotta think the way they think
You don't gotta play the way they play
You can do it all on your own time
You can do it all on your own vibe
I could never be them so I don't try
I just keep it real and do it to my own vibe
(x2)
[Verse 2]
I understand a lot of ya'll just wanna get accepted
You wanna be considered cool and be the guy that all the
Prom girls slept with, but listen to this message
Cuz if you compromise to please the crowd you will regret it
There's standards for a reason, there's morals for a purpose
Your body and your soul both have a value you're not worthless
You gotta know what your worth is, and don't let them ignore it
Be yourself stand up and get to moving forward right now cuz
[Hook]
You don't gotta do the things they do
You don't gotta say the things they say
You don't gotta think the way they think
You don't gotta play the way they play
You can do it all on your own time
You can do it all on your own vibe
I could never be them so I don't try
I just keep it real and do it to my own vibe
(x2)
[Verse 3]
I ain't like them well I guess I'm lame
Used to be an easy guy, well I guess I changed
I got tired of compromising to fit their frame
When my heart's a masterpiece I wear it with no shame
I am a child of the one who made the world that's a birthright
If you're trying to conform being unique just doesnt work right
But me? I always said I'd rather be myself
Be everything that God made me to be and live in health
