Do You
Verse 1:
As I grew
I was told to simply do you
And as a realistic optimist
I can firmly say that it's true
Some learn in their journey
In life discerning
Warnings of those concerned
And other's own flirting
With danger lurking
Turns them from hurting
Where they've been burned
But listen
There's advice to pay attention
And those who chastise dismiss them
Haters may never congratulate you
But triumphing later makes it taste greater
And I've learned that lesson through time
From others' trials and mine
And that makes my life so unique
Cause I'm the only one to do me
So I tell you
Chorus:
Do you right
Do you a'ight
(repeat 4x)

Verse 2:
Uh and I'll always stay true
Black nerd who packs words lack nerves but backwards
Cause I love performing
But after that staying home is the norm man
I want to kick it watching YouTube from Game Theory
To KKortez and Gigguk when my day's dreary
If I'm not catching up on new tunes, I'm still jamming
Tori Kelly, Wax, Russell, Yoko Kanno, Bobby Tarantino
And please note, I'm on the journey with Kino
Cause each anime is like a new country to visit people
From a whole new culture & way of living
Then taking the message in them when it's positive and uplifting
Like how the past will always haunt you if you're always looking back
Or how to always work for good and to correct the bad
Or how you can let life happen or live the life you choose
The moral of story's set; who learns it is up to you

Chorus

Verse 3:
Everybody brings something special in life with them
So there's no reason to be discouraged and just give in
Because life's best when you're authentically you
So stay true; it's awesome when you do
I was a young kid trying just to fit in
But I was different so trying to be them made me miserable
What made the difference was confidence
To keep my sense of weird
Never conceal don't feel
So I'll be joyous my time here
Chorus

Outro:
You should strive to do you whatever it takes
Life's already hard enough to try and fake
Your way into the in crowd
So be yourself and soon you will find your place
Although situations in life may cause change
Being true stays the same
