[Verse 1]

Friday night, I pull up to the crib

See flashing lights, fo’ I knock on the door

I don’t feel right, and I act like I don’t know why

But I do, yet I go inside, and when I do

They all stare at me confused

Like, who invited you? I want to feel included

They all chugging booze

All the guy’s hittin’ on boos

All the shawty’s lettin’ loose

Man, the party going stupid

Right there and then, I should’ve left

Instead, I stood to hang out with my quote on quote friends

They was hittin’ pens and sippin’ Hen

When I came to them, they acted like we never met

So I stеp outside and I find the same thing

Evеrybody’s got drinks in they hands

They all gettin’ dirty when they dance

Some guy tries to offer me a can

Should I take a sip? I just can’t

Everybody’s blowin’ smoke

They so gone from the hits, I call em’ Roanoke

So many people at this party, yet I feel alone

That’s when I finally see a shawty that I really know

I say hey, it’s that girl that I like, maybe we can chat

That’s when she started dancing on some other guy’s lap

I gazed at her eyes and she ain't feel bad

In fact, she looked at me and laughed

So I ran back inside the house, the music bumpin’ loud

Then the beat drops, everybody jumpin’ now

Lotta’ people passed out, lotta’ people gassed out

I don’t do what they do, so I feel cast out

I look all around me

Everyone’s drunk and sunk inside this function

They all having fun with drugs and lust

Man, I feel like the only one that doesn't

I don’t blend with my surroundings

Lotta people wasted, faded, naked

This place is filled with sex and fake friends

Bet the feds gon’ come, now a fight is breakin’


[Chorus 1]

I just wanna be like them

I just wanna be like them

You gotta smoke and sip

You gotta have that drip

If you wanna be like them


[Party Goer]

Huh huh bruh it's fine

You can get faded all week, faded all weekend

Drink till' I pass out

And then go hit a girl after that, right?

You only live once right?

He he he he


[CHUN]

Naw fam, I ain't bout' that life


[Verse 2]

Take it back to 6th grade

I didn't know how to dress

Didn’t spoke like the rest

I was feeling so misplaced

Man, I barely had any friends

Oder (other) kids prolly said

I think Jonathan’s gay

Cause I only kicked it with girls

Didn’t fit in this world

They would judge all my mistakes

Let it dictate who I was

They said I wasn’t cool enough

So I changed the way I behaved

Changed what I wore and I swore

To gain more attention

Had to compromise to blend in

And yes I did gain a few new peers

But still got rejected

Maybe cause’ they knew I never went to functions

Or did drugs, or got drunk

And even if I did it wouldn’t fit me

I’d be lookin’ really stupid gettin’ trippy on a sippy

Plus, I’ve never been a tough guy

If I tried they’d say this guy’s got a disguise

He ain’t really bout’ that thug life

Everyone that knows me knows Jonathan’s nice

The price I paid for pride was shame

Became just like the minds I tried to change

That’s why I came to the realization

That even if nobody wanna change

I gotta be the guy that makes the difference

It just clicked, that as hard as I tried

Wouldn’t fit in with these cliques

I’ve always been this outsider, outlier

Didn’t fit in with the crowds neither did I ever

Walk the walk or talk the talk

They said I was an odd and awkward kid

To this day, to be honest I don’t thinks that’s changed a bit

I’m not a rich kid, not a poser

Not a hypebeast or a smoker

Not a pretty boy

Or a gangster

I am not of this world

I am a stranger

And I know I ain’t perfect, ain’t gonna act like I’m innocent

I know every person is in a sin

If I judge and condemn everybody, then I would be a hypocrite

Now lemme finish this, to anybody listening

Believe me when I tell you there's no benefit in fitting in

Yeah that's coming from somebody who witnessed it

But of course, the choice is yours

As for me, I will not conform

I will live for the lord, yes life is a war

But I’ll fight till I get my reward, I’m gone!


[Chorus 2]

Yeah Boy that’s who I am

Yeah Boy that’s who I am

From the A.M to the P.M

That’s who I am, yeah

Yeah Boy that’s who I am

Yeah Boy that’s who I am

From the A.M to the P.M

That’s who I am
