[Chorus]
Do what you want
And do it (Yeah)
I got to convince you
You gotta stick to it

[Verse 1]
Keep on striving towards your goal
If it's right, don't let it go
Live the life you wanna live
Don't be phony, just be for real
People..(Be yourself)
Don't be nobody...(Nobody else)

[Chorus]
Do what you want
And do it (Yeah, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I got to convince you
You gotta stick to it

[Verse 2]
Don't let nobody fool you around
Trying to turn your life upside down
Just be strong in your field
And when you reach the top, happy you will live
People...(Be yourself)
Don't be nobody...(Nobody else)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Do what you want
