[Speaking]
You know what? Only God can judge me... And if you must judge me... At least judge me by the content of my character
I'm not here to appease you...
Chorus:
Whoever you think I am
Ain't exactly who I am
I know who I'm supposed to be
You'll probably never understand
Whoever you think I am (whoever)
Ain't exactly who I am (exactly)
I know who I'm supposed to be (supposed to be)
You'll probably never understand (you'll never)
You know what? Only God can judge me...
Verse One:
First off I don't care what anyone thinks
People pleasing gets so tiring (tiring)
I've concluded I should be living for myself
Regardless if it isn't worthy of admiring (admiring)
Back when I was young and had no cares
Simpler times, simpler days (simpler days)
When everyone goin' along with the crowd
I found it best to go my own way
Chorus:
Whoever you think I am
Ain't exactly who I am
I know who I'm supposed to be
You'll probably never understand
Whoever you think I am (whoever)
Ain't exactly who I am (exactly)
I know who I'm supposed to be (supposed to be)
You'll probably never understand (you'll never)
At least judge me by the content of my character
Verse Two:
See all this greatness, all this potential?
Follow my example - how dare you overlook me?
Maybe I think I'm better than you
Because I believe I am who I should be
Sorry not sorry (Sorry not sorry)
This is not for the faint at heart
See the picture that I'm painting
Is not to break you or make you fall apart
Chorus:
Whoever you think I am
Ain't exactly who I am
I know who I'm supposed to be
You'll probably never understand
Whoever you think I am (whoever)
Ain't exactly who I am (exactly)
I know who I'm supposed to be (supposed to be)
You'll probably never understand (you'll never)
I'm not here to appease you...
Verse Three:
Back when I was young and had no cares
Simpler times, simpler days (simpler days)
When everyone goin' along with the crowd
I found it best to go my own way
See all this greatness, all this potential?
Follow my example - how dare you overlook me?
Maybe I think I'm better than you
Because I believe I am who I should be

They say you can't please everyone (everyone)
Everybody has a different way of seeing yourself
And that might be true for them
Oh well, I'm going my own way
And so I'm going my own way
It isn't necessarily true
The way people happen to see me (see me)
Everybody's got opinions and expectations
I don't care to live up to any of them
One time for the one time for the fun time
And we out this piece shawty
Chorus:
Whoever you think I am

You'll probably never understand (you'll never)
One time for the one time for the fun time
