~The Way I Do My Thing~

~The Way I Do My Thing~
Posted By: ericka richardson on March 09, 2006





I'd like to take the time to write down
What I'm feelin right now
I hear sounds
In my head telling me to stay
Or go for a little while and come back another day
There's people who think about it, and there's people who do
There's people who dream about it, but me, I pursue
To do the things that comes to mind
No time to watse time
So I tend to find
My own way to grind
And don't hate because I'd rather read a book than point a nine
I'm the type that got my own style
I lead and people follow because I'm straight up wild
That's why my life is so hot, and yours is so mild
I stick to who I am, I stand proud with my style and my smile
All the while these people who try to change me
They may be
The one I decide to come out and speak freely to
And when I do, they see me
As unruly
Because I decide to be the
One and only
To stand up to what I believe
Don't judge me by my clothes or the preference I see
Get to know me, found out exactly who I am personaly
No inspiration, me is who I aspire to be
And understand that the way I live is my choice
I want nothing to do with you if you're raising your voice
Explaining the complexity of my mind will make your dry thoughts moist
So I come to you calmly
Showing how a dry pond gets rained on and is now a great sea
And what used to have you lost is now plain to see
The way I do my thing is by just being me
