Say It Loud

don't tell me how to talk
don't tell me how to walk
don't tell me how to dress
don't tell me how to be
I know who I am.

I'm loud
I'm outlandish
I may be a bit crazy
but that's just me.

don't tell me to quiet down
this is how I talk.
don't tell me to slow down
this is how I walk.
don't tell me to match my clothes
this is how I dress.

don't tell me to bow my head
I'm gonna be proud.
don't tell me to avert my eyes
I'm gonna be proud.
don't tell me to step aside
I'm gonna be proud.

don't tell me who I am.
I know who I wanna be
I know who I am.

and I'm saying it loud-
I'm gonna be proud.

-Hah. No one ever says anything about this one. I understand it may be a bit..rushed and weak, but I like it. Someone told me to quiet down, and I got kind of heated about that. I don't like people telling me what to do unless they are the authority of the matter, you know?-
