I know just who I be, I know just what I need
Don't need no sympathy, I just wanna live my life
'Cause life is so beautiful in my eyes, hey yeah
I love the birds and bees all in the summer breeze
Or chillin' at the beach, I love to enjoy my life
Leave your stress and troubles behind, oh
That's the way I am and I don't give a damn
If you really don't understand, 'cause I'm payin' my own rent
And I never ask for sympathy all I wanna know's if you're down with me
So don't misunderstand, 'cause that's just the way I am
I know what's family, I know what's loyalty
I know just how it feels for someone to love you right
'Cause life's so beautiful in my eyes, yes ooh
I love expensive things, champagne and diamond rings
But life without these things is still a wonderful life
Just be thankful you're alive
That's the way I am and I don't give a damn
If you really don't understand, 'cause I'm payin' my own rent
And I never ask for sympathy all I wanna know's if you're down with me
So don't misunderstand, 'cause that's just the way I am
I'm gonna live the way I live
Enjoy my life, live positive
And help someone who ask it's time well spent
'Cause that's the way that I am
Hey that's the way I am and I don't give a damn
If you really don't understand that's the way I am
And I don't give a damn 'cause that's the way I am
That's the way I am and I don't give a damn
If you really don't understand, 'cause I'm payin' my own rent
And I never ask for sympathy all I wanna know's if you're down with me
So don't misunderstand, 'cause that's just the way I am
That's the way I am and I don't give a damn
If you really don't understand, 'cause I'm payin' my own rent
And I never ask for sympathy all I wanna know's if you're down with me
So don't misunderstand, 'cause that's just the way I am
