Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Y'all quick to judge, don't even know my name
Point fingers, throw words, think this life's a game
Got your minds made up before I speak my truth
Labels stick like glue but they ain't got no proof
Been this way since day one, yeah I seen the looks
Assumptions in their eyes like they read different books
But they don't know me, nah
They don't know me at all
[Chorus]
Labels can't define my soul (define my soul)
Y'all can try but you can't control (can't control)
What's inside ain't what you see (what you see)
I'ma be who I'ma be
Yalalalalaaaa [Middle Eastern vocal run]
[Verse 2]
Every morning praying, while they spreading hate
Think they know my faith but they don't know my state
Got my own connection, straight up to the sky
While they busy talking, I just let it fly
Man, you call me names but who gave you the right?
To judge another soul in this crazy life
Your words ain't bullets but they try to wound
But I stay strong, yeah, I keep it true
[Chorus]
Labels can't define my soul (define my soul)
Y'all can try but you can't control (can't control)
What's inside ain't what you see (what you see)
I'ma be who I'ma be
Yalalalalaaaa [Middle Eastern vocal run]
[Bridge]
They say... they say... they don't understand
But did they ever try? [Traditional oud riff]
My heart beats same as yours
We all bleed, we all cry
[Chorus]
Labels can't define my soul (define my soul)
Y'all can try but you can't control (can't control)
What's inside ain't what you see (what you see)
I'ma be who I'ma be
Yalalalalaaaa [Middle Eastern vocal run]
