Sick of justifying all the time
This is not a flaw in my design
You say don't hate the sinner but the sin
Well I don't need you fake fair-weather friend
So don't ask me to change for you
Cause I won't be what you want me to
I am who I am and I do what I do
So don't ask me to change for you
Finally showed me just who you are
Scared and silent, smoke and mirror star
You dance the dance and drop out when it counts
You had chance after chance to work it out
So gon' and work it out
But don't ask me to change for you
Cause I won't be what you want me to
I am who I am and I do what I do
So don't ask me to change for you
Cause how you see me
It don't got nothing to do with my soul
The flesh I'm in don't tell my story
If you could be me would you see my potential
Can't hold me back, can't hold me down
You can't hold me down
You can't hold me down
You can't hold me down
No you can't hold me down
Don't ask me to change for you
Cause I won't be what you want me to
I am who I am and I do what I do
So don't ask me to change for you
