I'm Doin me

Verse 1

Late nights, staring at my reflection,

Asking that man in the mirror for direction.

I been walking in circles, losing my way,

Trying to please everybody but me every day.

Smiles on my face but my heart feeling tired,

Living by rules that I never desired.

Pre-Chorus

They said “fall in line, don’t you make no noise,”

But my soul got dreams and it wants a choice.

I felt that pressure pushing down on me,

But something inside said, “Just be free…”

Chorus

I’m doing me, yeah I finally see,

I ain’t living for nobody else but me.

I been going down the wrong path being a follower,

Now I’m standing in my truth, feeling stronger.

I’m doing right, letting go of the fear,

All that pressure don’t live here.

I ain’t who they want me to be…

I’m doing me.

Verse 2

I gave my heart to everybody else,

Left myself sitting on the shelf.

Tried to be what they all needed,

But my own pain went undefeated.

I was silent when I should’ve spoke,

Held it all in till my heart almost broke.

Pre-Chorus

But I’m tired of running from my own light,

Tired of losing me every night.

Now I’m peeling back every layer,

Finding the truth in my own prayer.

Chorus

I’m doing me, no disguise,

No more hiding what’s inside.

I been going down the wrong path being a follower,

But I’m walking in my power getting stronger.

I’m doing right, I know my worth,

Ain’t nobody else can tell me who I am on this earth.

I ain’t who they want me to be…

I’m doing me.

Bridge

If they walk away, I’ll still stand tall,

I don’t need nobody when I’ve got my call.

I found my peace when I let them go,

Now my heart finally in control.

I don’t need their chains,

I already broke the pain.

Final Chorus

I’m doing me, yeah I’m free,

Finally loving what I see.

No more pressure, no more shame,

I’m standing proud in my name.

I’m doing right, I’m finally whole,

Living from my heart and soul.

I ain’t who they want me to be…

I’m doing me.

Outro

Yeah…

I’m doing me…

And it feels so good.
