Uh, they was wrong when they said ain't nothing new under the sun
Cause everything under the sun has not been done
What they shouldn't miss, don't miss your call
The biggest chance you can take is not taking the chance at all
Like who you wanna like, love who you wanna love
Kiss who you wanna kiss, hug who you wanna hug
Latin, white, black, fat, tall, small
Opposite of trash, whatever is on y'all
I came in the gang with a hope and a wish
With no bait on my hook, tryna catch a fish
Tryna have meals, four courses
Got hella ideas but no resources
Don't let them knock your motivation, keep trying
You're probably just ahead of your time, like me
They told me I never progress in business
Become what I am today, them niggas dead
You gotta be original, just be you
Take a chance to show the world you, just show the world you
You gotta be original, just be you
Take a chance to show the world you, just be you
We gon' jump in the ride, let the rims roll
Got a hundred pair of Nikes, no Timbos
And no, I never had no Afro
But I still got a hundred pair of Nikes, no Timbos
And I still got a hundred pair of Nikes, no Timbos
So many people wanna look alike
And act the same, but what's the price?
When you got no game, they won't let you play
You're too stingy, you shouldn't act that way
Cause you gon' have to pay
If you don't speak your mind, you been a follower a long time
Stop lying and just be yourself
Ain't nothing wrong with that
You got racks, you must be on some crack
Cause the last time I checked, you was struggling
Had a whole lot of bad luck drug dealing
To get back on track like you need to
Stop following the crew, you got to stop following the crew
And be you, nigga
You gotta be original
You gotta be
Just be you
Just be you
Take a chance to show the world you
Just be you
Just be you
You gotta be original
Just be you
Just be you
Take a chance to show the world you
Just be you
Do what they don't
When they come to follow trends, you won't
You got your own mind and your own ideas
Refuse to be like everybody else, for real
So original
Like who?
Like me
Creative and unique
People love the way I speak
They hate it on the sun, other man up above
Anything different?
They afraid of
Afraid of
We coming through hard again
We got chains and pieces, new cars and rims
It's E-40, short dog, and them
A lot of hustas, gangsters, and all the pimps
It sounds good when you turn it up loud
Do it your way
And rock your style, your hair, your clothes
Even your smile, they gon' love you
Cause you so original
So original









You gotta be original
Just be you
Just be you
Take a chance to show the world you
Just be you
You gotta be original
Just be you
Just be you
Just be you
Just be you
Just be you
Just be you
Just be you
Just be you
Be you
Stop being somebody else when you can be you, Mike
You, Mike
When you can be you, Mike
Stop being somebody else when you can be you, Mike
You, Mike
When you can be you, Mike
