Song: I Don't Want To Be

[Verse 1]
      
I don't need t

o be anything 

other
            
Than a prison 

             
guard's son

I don't need t

o be anything 

other 
           
Than a special

ist's son

I don't have t

o be anything 

other
 
Than the birth

 of two souls 

in one

Part of where 

I'm going, is 

knowing where 

I'm coming fro

[Hook]
            
I don't want t

              
o be anything 

             
other than wha

            
t I've been tr

            
ying to be lat

 
ely  
            
All I have to 

              
do is think of

             
 me and I have

           
 peace of mind

    
. 
            
I'm tired of l

              
ooking round r

              
ooms wondering

  
 what I gotta 

do 
           
Or who I'm sup

         
posed to be. 
            
I don't want t

             
o be anything 

            
other than me
 
[Verse 2]

I'm surrounded

 by liars ever

ywhere I turn

I'm surrounded

 by imposters

one who notice
