[Intro:]
{I love the way I am and can't nobody out here change me}
(repeat X2, then X2 with 'Common' at the end of each line)

[Common]
Check it out...
Good morning...Vietcam, I'm back
HUH! It's me again
Is it me you're looking for? (Yup)
For the perfect beat, sweetly oblique
I'm fresh, I come clean, but I can't whistle
*attempt at whistling* Psss, I'm only buggin
While No dug in the crates, I dug in my nose
and picked a rhyme any rhyme I don't have any time
to waste, I'm hip... don't even trip
to an easy travel agent now we fly for free
I can be fly for free, you want some flyer to read
then buy from me
I got the flame like U-I-C but I be, U-A-C
Some of the realest illest chillest cats you may see
in your life if you get one
Rappers are like jobs to me (why?) because they get done
Here it comes I'm as Able as Cain to get raw
That's why the DJ's mix me, I'm gonna bust dickses
Not da bomb so save all your threats
I'm good to go and also I'm Rets
Rhymes I wrecks affects the roughnecks
Down to the preps in the Polos, the studs with pros
Hoes who wheeze, the bald-headed to the dreaded
To folks with butters, high rollers and rollers
Players with plat studs with stocking caps I be rocking raps
til I collapse
Niggaz play my tape about as much as they do craps
I'm on point, I celo, I see high
Hi C, I'm free at last
I'ma free man, free as the world be
and like an early bird, I'm special
But you ain't that special, as that investor
So to myself I say congratulations
I'm glad you had the patience, you better have the patience
Cause thisisme.

{I love the way I am and can't nobody out here change me}
Common! (X3)

Whassup Scony Rony I'm that boney homey
from Stoney (Common) you know me!
Off the GP niggaz see me on the TV
Talkin Take It EZ, and they was like He ain't hardcore!
But hardcore is far more than bats and gats
It stems back to the roots of being true
It's gonna get me Me, you just get you You
What I look like, talkin about some shit I ain't do?
I ain't shoot nobody I ain't shank nobody
I ain't kill nobody, it wasn't us it was THEM!
The Warriors, I'm a warrior and still don't have to show no gun
It takes one to know one, and no one can tell me
how to be, cause I'ma be me, aight?
Cause I'm a man, now check it.

{I love the way I am and can't nobody out here change me}
Common! (X3)

*singing* Sometimes, sometimes, I get a good feeling!
When I'm chillin at the flat, lookin at the wall
Wondering can I come off of it, I'm off a bit
On the mic I be talkin shit
But some say my talk don't make no Sense
I'm tryin to make the Dollars, my momma told me
to go to school and be a scholar, but school ain't for me
So don't even go there, I'm comin out of nowhere, to go where
Probably in about seven years, I won't have no hair
But not only am I the Hair Club President, I'm also a client
I come off like a toupee, I still have to pay 2Pc Dark
A Raider that never Lost the Ark/arc, on the shot
But now when I shoot rock, I be all out of breath
My boy Adefo wanted to be a chef
But he went down South, and fell in love call me love
'cause love is gonna getcha I'ma getcha
I'm like B.J. my Arm is Strong and I Stretch ya
Styles from East to West, all across the country
I'm like that big fat one niggaz catch when bumpin
I probably would get bumped more if I was a gangster
But I am a gangsta, call me the gangsta of love!!!
I love good music, I love my momma
I love myself, I love you, and you love me
And thisis -- I'm out...

[Outro:]
{KRS sample plays in background}
Yo I wanna say peace to my moms, my grandmomma
Lil Chandra, and John, yo rest in peace to my Aunt Stella
My sides moms, Ron's moms, Dawn's moms, Corey's moms
Who are you? These people be themselves y'all, peace em out
Common! (4X)

{KRS sample is cut and scratched to end}

DEMI:
I've always been the kind of girl
that hid my face
so afraid to tell the world
what I've got to say

but I have this dream
bright inside of me
I'm gonna let it show
it's time to let you know
to let you know

This is real this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed
to be, now
gonna let the light,
shine on me

Now I've found who I am
there's no way to hold it in
no more hidding
who I wanna be
THIS IS ME

Do you know what it's like
to feel so in the dark
to dream about a life
when you're the shining star
even though it seems
like it's so far away
I have to believe
in myself
it's the only way

This is real this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed
to be, now
gonna let the light,
shine on me

Now I've found who I am
there's no way to hold it in
no more hidding
who I wanna be
THIS IS ME

JOE:

the reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
you're the missing piece I need
the song inside of me

BOTH:
I need to find you
I gotta find you
This is real this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed
to be, now
gonna let the light,
shine on me

Now I've found who I am

no more hidding

THIS IS ME

This is real this is me

to be, now

shine on me

Now I've found who I am

I know what I want.
I keep reaching out.
No one is gonna stop me.
Everything is just right!

This is my life! I’m on my own!
Don’t need anyone to guide me down the road.
I’m finding out who, yeah, who I wanna be.
This is my life! I’m in control!
Moving so fast to where I wanna go and
I’m shouting out: “Who, yeah who do you see?”

I know who I am. I let my feelings show.
I’m not scared to tell everyone
all the things on my mind.

This is my life! I’m on my own!
Don’t need anyone to guide me down the road.
I’m finding out who, yeah, who I wanna be.
This is my life! I’m in control!
Moving so fast to where I wanna go and
I’m shouting out: “Who, yeah who do you see?”

Just don’t tell me how to live my life.
I’ve got to have control.
I live for the fight and I’m ready it’s my life!

This is my life! I’m on my own!
Don’t need anyone to guide me down the road.
I’m finding out who, yeah, who I wanna be.
This is my life! I’m in control!
Moving so fast to where I wanna go and I’m shouting out: “Who, yeah who do you see?”

She stole your heart
Only did it because she could
Chewed you up and spat you out
That girl never was no good

Baby I will never do that
I'll love you faithfully
But your suspicious mind thinks
I'm gonna repeat her story

She's making you crazy, making you a wreck
Making you follow me, making me a suspect
You seem to think I'm playing her game
Don't you know my name

Chorus:

That was her, this is me
We're as different as can be
She and I are nothing alike
You confusing day with night
That was then, this is now
You wanna trust me but you don't know how
I'm never gonna mess around
Set you down, can't you see
That was her and baby this is me

Stop making me feel bad
I'm the best thing you ever had
The only thing I'm guilty of
Is giving you too much love

She's making you crazy, making you a wreck
Making you follow me, making me a suspect
You seem to think I'm playing her game
Don't you know, don't you know my name

(chorus)

Don't suffocate me, give me some space
Don't make me pay, for all her mistakes
Believe in the love that's in my kiss
(Don't say things that don't exist)

(chorus)

Oooohhhh
This is me
[speaking] this is who i am..

[verse one]

I'm still tryna make it out
Cause i'm still just another girl from the ghetto
There's so much in my life
I break down cause i'm so deep in the struggle
(there isn't sun in rain. there ain't joy in pain.)
Thought i found my way out then i'm back again
From the streets to the stage of hollywood
Back to the blessings
And the love in the hood

[chorus]

I'm just a girl tryna make a way (ohhhohhh)
It gets so hard but i'll be ok (be ok)
I don't really care what the people say
Cause this is me
A mother, a daughter (daughter), a sis to my brother (sis to my brother)
I'm every woman cause i gotta be
And god put me through it
Cause he know i can do it
Cause this is me yeah

[verse two]

Southern girl with city dreams
Got a sack full of clothes and just a few ol' dollars
Bustin' tables while i'm tryna sing
Hope i hit it big so i can send for my daughter
(there isn't sun in rain. there ain't joy in pain.)
Thought i found my way out then i'm back again
From the streets to the stage of hollywood
Back to the blessings
And the love in the hood

[chorus]

I'm just a girl tryna make a way (make a way)
It gets so hard but i'll be ok (ohhhohhh)
I don't really can what the people say (oh yeah)
Cause this is me (this is me yeah)
A mother (mother), a daughter, a sis to my brother (sis to my brother)
I'm every woman cause i gotta be (oh yeah)
And god put me through it
Cause he know i can do it
Cause this is me yeah

[breakdown]

No one really knows the whole truth
(the whole truth about me)
And no one's had to live in my life
(then they would know it ain't easy)
Made my share of mistakes
That's alright
Cause i'm not gone be afraid no more
Cause this is me
And i won't hide who i am

Yeah I have my addictions
and keep my share of secrets
and things you'll never see
I get selfish and defensive
And pay too much attention
to my insecurities
Oh I'm just like everybody else
I try to love Jesus and myself

Chorus:
I don't know what you believe
or what you think of what you see
but this is a part of me
what I do and who I am
all my impurities
Are right here on my sleeve
This is me
This is me

My heart break for the homeless
I worry about my parents
and all my bills are late
I'm dealing with the changes
This complicated Strangeness
Of seeing life this way
I'm just like everybody else
I try to love Jesus and myself

(Chorus)

I laugh at silly movies
Tear up when I see babies
And I'm stubborn as a stone
I criticize my body
I wonder if I'm ready
To ever be alone
Oh I'm just like everybody else
I cry like everybody else

(Chorus)

Everyday I wake up late.
Since I quit my day job I have been sane.
But responsiblilites sure do remain, but i'll just let them wait.

Because I don't know what I am doing now,
and I wont try to act like it cuz i sure dont know how.
And i'll admit that I don't know, just where i'm going on this long and winding road
that's taking me to what till be my home.

So stare and see that this is me,
and I will be just what I need to believe
that something is what i'm gonna be.
And what you do is what you do and what I do needs to be true.
The things I do maybe need to be thought through,
but just remember what's right forme, might be not right for you.

Staring at this mirror and I'm wondering who you are.
Right now is a time for searching and I just wish i had a car
to drive a long distance and just think about the war,
and now life's got so much more.

Because I don't know what i am doing now,
and I wont try to act like it cuz i sure dont know how.
And i'll admit that I don't know, just where i'm going on this long and winding road
that's taking me to what till be my home.

So stare and see that this is me,
and I will be just what I need to believe
that something is what I'm gonna be.
And what you do is what you do,
and what I do needs to be true.
The things i do maybe need to be thought through...
But I know what I want to dok and I want it to be true.
And yeah I'd be the first to say that of cource i'll listen to you,
but remember what's right for me, might be not right for you

Oooohhhh
