All my life I've tried to please Disregarding my own needs Now it's time for me to be free!
Pivot
And if you don't like it You can do what you wanna do And if you don't invite it It ain got to have nothing to do with you
Chorus
Lemme 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 got to have nothing to do with you
Chorus
Lemme 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
