- I Don't Want To Be Lyrics / with translationsI don't need to be anything other than a prison guards son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from
I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars, everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by impostors, everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis, everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed? I can't be the only one who's learned
I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay to stone and now I'm telling everybody
I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
No I don't wanna be anything
I don't wanna be uh uh uh anything other than me
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be anything, anything other than me
