Woke up
To the promise of gold
Chasing a dream
Going for broke
Came back
To a head full of ghosts
They came out of the shadows
And they followed me home
(Hey)
No matter where I go
No matter what I do
People are bringing me down
I gotta shake 'em loose
Gotta shape up (hey)
I gotta be free
I wanna be up
But I wanna be me
I don't care if I'm hated
I don't care if I'm not
I'm goin' make it
No, I ain't gonna stop
Oh no, I did it again
I got no one to blame it on
I'm losing my head
(Hey)
No matter where I go
No matter what I do
People are bringing me down
I gotta shake 'em loose
So, baby let me be
And, you be you
Gotta shape up (hey)
I gotta be free
I wanna be up
But, I wanna be me
I don't care if I'm hated
I don't care if I'm not
I'm goin' make it
No, I ain't gonna stop
I gotta shape up
I gotta be free
I wanna be up
But, I wanna be me
I don't care if I'm hated
I don't care if I'm not
I'm goin' make it
And no, I ain't gonna stop
No, I ain't gonna stop
No matter where I'd go
No matter what I'll do
I'm gonna be myself
I'm gonna see it through
No matter where I'd go
No matter what I'll do
I'm gonna be myself
I'm gonna see it through
No matter where I'd go
No matter what I'll do
I'm gonna be myself
I'm wanna see it through
I wanna see it through
Gotta shape up (hey)
I gotta be free
I wanna be up
But I wanna be me
I don't care if I'm hated
I don't care if I'm not (yeah)
I'm goin' make it
No, I ain't gonna stop
I gotta shape up (hey)
I gotta be free
I wanna be up
But I wanna be me
I don't care if I'm hated
I don't care if I'm not
I'm goin' make it
No, I ain't gonna stop
No, I ain't gonna stop
