[Verse 1]
All these kids runnin' 'round screamin' YOLO
Around the world, hurting themselves
Was that the message?
My generation’s goin' crazy
And people say we’re just too free
I agree
[Verse 2]
We blame society
But we are society
I mean I like party
But that don’t mean
I'mma go to any extremes
I’ll just do me
[Pre-Chorus]
Break the silence
Stop the violence
We could do so much more
People unite
Wrong is made right
What are we waiting for?
[Chorus]
Why can't I just do me?
Why can't you all just see that?
This is who I'm gonna be
I'm living my dreams
Why can't I just do me?
A little girl lost in society
Just trying to spread her wings
[Verse 3]
I was born into politics
And I believe that is positive
I guess it’s a family thing
But music is my thing and my dream
But why can’t I combine the two
Political music, I ain't breakin' the rules
Like back in the day when our music had meaning
Like back in the day when Dr. King had a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Black or white
Stop the fight
We could do so much more
End the wars
Open doors
What are we waiting for?
[Chorus]
Why can't I just do me?
Why can't you all just see that?
This is who I'm gonna be
I'm living my dreams
Why can't I just do me?
A little girl lost in society
Just trying to spread her wings
