Speaking my Mind
I am who I am
 And that’s who I’ll be
 I’ll speak my mind 
 And I’ll never be sorry
 
 I need to shape up
 But then the world does too
 All these countries and cities
 Are no different from the zoo
 
 The ghetto life style is quite overdone
 I don’t understand how some see it as fun
 To me that life is defined by the gun
 If you have one your safe, if you don’t then you’re done
 
 Sometimes it seems sad, life’s second law
 You never find a human without flaw
 It sickens me so to see what we’ve done 
 To this world we’ve destroyed when we only have one
 
 You may not like what I’ve said 
 You may say it’s not true
 To some what I’ve said may just seem strange
 Others may say I’m just young or deranged
 
 I truly don’t care
 It means nothing to me
 Some are just fools too thickheaded to agree
 And to them I say remember one thing
 
 I am who I am 
 Maybe I am insane
 And I’ll still speak my mind 
 And never be ashamed
