grinning at his gun
fingers start shaken
i begin to run
bullets start chasing
i begin to stop
we begin to wreslte
i was on the top
i want to thank you for letting me be myself again
i want to thank you for letting me be myself again
step off'n the collar
slugged me in the face
chit chat chatter trying
shoved me in the place
thank you for the party
but i could never stay
many things are on my mind
words in the way
i want to thank you for letting me be myself again
i want to thank you for letting me be myself again
dance to the music
all night long
everyday people
sing their simple song
mama's so happy
mama starts to cry
papa's still singing
you can make it if you try
i want to thank you for letting me be myself again
Different strokes for different folks, yeah
i want to thank you for letting me be myself again
Flamin' eyes of peoples fear, burnin' into you
Many men are missin' much, hatin' what they do
Youth and truth are makin' love
Dig it for a starter
Dyin' young is hard to take
Sellin' out is harder
i want to thank you for letting me be myself again
i want to thank you for letting me be myself again
i want to thank you for letting me be myself again
i want to thank you for letting me be myself again
i want to thank you for letting me be myself again
i want to thank you for letting me be myself again...
Thank You (falettin me be mice elf again)
