That's the Way I Am

I know just who I be, I know just what I need
Don't need no sympathy, I just want to live my life
'Cause life is so beautiful in my eyes
I love the birds and bees all in the summer breeze
Or chillin' at the beach, I love to enjoy my life
Leave your stress and troubles behind

That's the way I am and I don't give a damn
If you really don't understand, cause I'm payin' my own rent
And I never ask for sympathy
All I want to know is if you're down with me
So don't misunderstand, 'cause, that's just the way I am

I know what's family, I know what's loyalty
I know just how it feels for someone to love you right
'Cause life's so beautiful in my eyes
I love expensive things, champagne and diamond rings
But life without these things
Is still a wonderful life, just be thankful you're alive

I'm gonna live the way I live
Enjoy my life, live positive
And help someone who asks
It's time well spend
'Cause that's the way that I am
