The Way I See It

Mommy used to say to me

"Being 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

See, I don't trip when my friends

They say to me, "Damn, you're mean"

Just because I see the same as they, but differently

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

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, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Uh, uh, come on

Two, three, four

Even if I really could change

I think people would find me strange

They think I'm buggin', maybe on something

Just because it wouldn't be me

So don't get mad

'Cause we don't see the same, 'cause that's okay

You be you and I'll, I'll concentrate on bein' me

Well you're tripping if you're thinking

That I ain't gonna speak my mind

Pardon me for living, expressing my opinion

That's just the way I see it

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah

I won't apologize for being strong

'Cause that ain't wrong

I don't know how to be nobody else but me

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

That I ain't gonna speak my mind

Pardon me for livin', expressin' my opinion

That's just the way I see it

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

I ain't gonna speak my mind

Pardon me for livin', expressin' my opinion

That's just the way I see it

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah

That's just the way I see it

Oh, oh, oh, oh, that's just the way

Oh, oh, oh, oh, that's just the way I see it

That's just the way I see it, yeah, yeah
