Lyrics
You know I got a lot of love and I'm here to let it out
Now that something's in the way then it's not what I'm all about
And it's often that the reason is it's coming from me
And I'm fuckin' frustrated 'cause it's not the way I want to be
It's not the way I think I'm supposed to be
It's not the way I think I'm supposed to be
Now I got a lot of love and I'll give it to you
Now there isn't any reason 'cause it's just what I'm made to do
But I see a lot of people who are making it hard
They got me trippin' on the things that they got in their own backyards
It's not the way I think I'm supposed to be
It's not the way I think I'm supposed to be
And they tell me that it is not what you know
Or even who you know
But how much can you know
It's not the way I think I'm supposed to be
It's not the way I think I'm supposed to be
