[Verse 1]

Mommy used to say to me

Bein' you's the best you can be

And I make my mistakes

But I don't change my ways

Because I'm satisfied with me

And I don't trip when my friends they say to me

"Damn, you're mean"

Just because I see them same as they but differently

[Chorus]

Well, you're trippin' if you're thinkin'

That I ain't gonna speak my mind

Well, pardon me for livin', expressin' my opinion

That's just the way I see it

Oh, oh, come on

[Verse 2]

Two, three, four

Even if I really could change

I think people would find me strange

They think I'm buggin', maybe on somethin'

Just because it wouldn't be me

So don't get mad

'cause we don't see the same, 'cause that's ok

You be you and I'll

I'll just concentrate on bein' me

[Chorus]

Well, you're trippin' if you're thinkin'

That I ain't gonna speak my mind

Well, pardon me for livin', expressin' my opinion

That's just the way I see it

Oh, oh, yeah

[Bridge]

I won't apologize for bein' strong

'Cause that ain't wrong

I don't know how to be any one else but me

[Chorus]

Well you're trippin' if you're thinkin'

That I ain't gonna speak my mind

Well pardon me for livin', expressin' my opinion

That's just the way I see it

Oh, oh, yeah

Well you're trippin' if you're thinkin'

That I ain't gonna speak my mind

Well pardon me for livin', expressin' my opinion

That's just the way I see it

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah

That's just the way I see it

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah

That's just the way

That's just the way I see it
