Take note when I do it like that
Talk straight, baby, don’t talk back
Step up when I do it like that
All here, ain’t nothing I lack
Take note when I do it like that
Talk straight, baby, don’t talk back
Step up when I do it like that
All here, ain’t nothing I lack

’Cause I don’t care, care what they say
You know I’m gonna do it anyway
Raise your head if you hear me say
Oh oh oh

I gotta be me, can’t nobody hold me down
I gotta be me, lift myself from the ground
I’m gonna be everything I want and give myself
Everything I need, I gotta be me
Can’t nobody hold me down, I gotta be me

Take note when I do it like that
Talk straight, baby, don’t talk back
Spotlight when I do it like that
All here, no slack
Take note when I do it like that
Talk straight, baby, don’t talk back
Spotlight when I do it like that
All here, no slack

‘’Cause I don’t care, care what they say
You know I’m gonna do it anyway
Raise your head if you hear me say
Oh oh oh

I gotta be me, can’t nobody hold me down
I gotta be me, lift myself from the ground
I’m gonna be everything I want and give myself
Everything I need, I gotta be me
Can’t nobody hold me down, I gotta be me

’Cause I don’t care, care what they say

Raise your head if you hear me say
Oh oh oh

I gotta be me, can’t nobody hold me down
