[verse 1]  I know just who I be, I know just what I need  Don't need no sympathy, I just wanna 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    [chorus]  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 wanna know's if you're down with me  So don't misunderstand, cause that's just the way I am    [verse 2]  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    [bridge]  I'm gonna live the way I live  Enjoy my life, live positive  And help someone who ask  It's time well spend  'Cause that's the way that I am
