Lyrics
0:22No, you can't flip a flipbook
0:24'Cause this isn't like the trigger
0:25I won't change just 'cause you can't figure me out
0:28Never doubt what I have to play
0:30If the world's not ready they'll just have to wait
0:33Don't put me on no pedestal
0:35Tell me I'm incredible
0:36Ask me to change and make my lines more legible
0:39So learn to love whatchya listenin' to
0:42'Cause my music is my music, this is what I do
0:44Don't tell me what I need
0:46Like what I need is what you want
0:49'Cause everybody wants to have their say
0:52They're just a bunch of know-it-alls
0:55I'm just tryna do my thing
0:58Y'all just gettin' in the way, no-no
1:00'Cause all I wanted was a little peace
1:03A little time to play
1:06'Cause I can feel it when the beat drops down
1:09And the lights go out
1:11'Cause you just need to let me be myself
1:14'Cause I ain't nobody else, no-no-no-oh-oh-oh
1:18I won't strike a pose
1:21Or sell my soul to break the mold
1:23I'll just be myself
1:25'Cause I ain't nobody else, no, no
1:35When the mic's in the booth, got the lights down low
1:38Turn up the check and the headphones
1:40Get that kick drum kickin'
1:42And the bassline sittin' tight
1:44Under the candlelight, oh
1:46You oversee whatchya can't see
1:48I'm just tryna be free
1:49Creatively, you're killin' me
1:51There's another storm on the frontline
1:54Gotta keep a hold of the mic tight
1:56'Cause you been tryna tell me what I need
1:59Like what I need is what you want
2:02Everybody wants to have their say
2:04They're just a bunch of know-it-alls
2:07I'm just tryna do my thing
2:10Y'all just gettin' in the way, no-no
2:13'Cause all I wanted was a little peace
2:16A little time to play
2:18'Cause I can feel it when the beat drops down
2:21And the lights go out
2:24'Cause you just need to let me be myself
2:27'Cause I ain't nobody else, no-no-no-oh-oh-oh
2:31I won't strike a pose
2:33Or sell my soul to break the mold
2:36I'll just be myself
2:38'Cause I ain't nobody else, no, no
2:54Just let me be
2:56And then you'll see, yeah
2:59Just let me be, yeah
3:25'Cause I can feel it when the beat drops down
3:28And the lights go out
3:31'Cause you just need to let me be myself
3:34'Cause I ain't nobody else, no-no-no-oh-oh-oh
3:38I won't strike a pose
3:40Or sell my soul to break the mold
3:43I'll just be myself
3:45'Cause I ain't nobody else, no, no
No, you can't flip a flipbook 'Cause this isn't like the trigger I won't change just 'cause you can't figure me out Never doubt what I have to play If the world's not ready they'll just have to wait Don't put me on no pedestal Tell me I'm incredible Ask me to change and make my lines more legible So learn to love whatchya listenin' to 'Cause my music is my music, this is what I do Don't tell me what I need Like what I need is what you want 'Cause everybody wants to have their say They're just a bunch of know-it-alls I'm just tryna do my thing Y'all just gettin' in the way, no-no 'Cause all I wanted was a little peace A little time to play 'Cause I can feel it when the beat drops down And the lights go out 'Cause you just need to let me be myself 'Cause I ain't nobody else, no-no-no-oh-oh-oh I won't strike a pose Or sell my soul to break the mold I'll just be myself 'Cause I ain't nobody else, no, no When the mic's in the booth, got the lights down low Turn up the check and the headphones Get that kick drum kickin' And the bassline sittin' tight Under the candlelight, oh You oversee whatchya can't see I'm just tryna be free Creatively, you're killin' me There's another storm on the frontline Gotta keep a hold of the mic tight 'Cause you been tryna tell me what I need Like what I need is what you want Everybody wants to have their say They're just a bunch of know-it-alls I'm just tryna do my thing Y'all just gettin' in the way, no-no 'Cause all I wanted was a little peace A little time to play 'Cause I can feel it when the beat drops down And the lights go out 'Cause you just need to let me be myself 'Cause I ain't nobody else, no-no-no-oh-oh-oh I won't strike a pose Or sell my soul to break the mold I'll just be myself 'Cause I ain't nobody else, no, no Just let me be And then you'll see, yeah Just let me be, yeah 'Cause I can feel it when the beat drops down And the lights go out 'Cause you just need to let me be myself 'Cause I ain't nobody else, no-no-no-oh-oh-oh I won't strike a pose Or sell my soul to break the mold I'll just be myself 'Cause I ain't nobody else, no, no
