[Intro: NewJeans]
Radio!
[Verse 1: Jon Batiste]
Lonely one
Out there on an eagle's wings
You're bringing something they can't bring
And singing something they can't sing
I know it's lonely when
Saying something they ain't heard
Don't want to share a mumbling word
Cause they'll come for you and you'll be purged
[Chorus]
But you can only be who you are
That's just who I am, that's just my radio
That's just who I am, that's just my video
That's just who I - I - I am
I - I - I can't pretend cause I know
You can only be who you are
That's just who I am, that's just my radio (my radio!)
That's just who I am, that's just my video
Wherever you are
Oh Lord!
You can only be who you are
[Verse 2]
Pink ring to my pinky toe
Black folks and white folks
My Asians
My Africans
My Afro-Eurasian
Republican
Or democrat
Aristocrat
Artistocrat
The riff raff to the really rad
I can't cap that's no cap
My bible
Gonna make me liable
Might start living tribal
We gon' make a child
I'ma make the news
I'ma fill them shoes
What? Too big for fill?
I'm up for it
I know I'm weird
[Chorus]
But you can only be who you are
That's just who I am, that's just my radio
That's just who I am, that's just my video
That's just who I - I - I am
I - I - I can't pretend cause I know
You can only be who you are
[Verse 3: JID]
Short days turn to long nights
I don't take breaks I don't buy the hype
We done made the way with no time to waste
There's no wait in lines
Stay, place your wager
Bet on lil buddy, betting safer
Melancholy cool calm behavior
Before the thunder rains storm the pavement
I grew some wings we can fly away with
Do the things you cannot explain it
Find a way to get us out the maze
What we made of, on the cusp of doing something greater
Unafraid
Been over all the underestimation
Don't get mad at your imagination
If it's real magic you ain't gotta chase it
[Chorus]
You can only be who you are
That's just who I am, that's just my radio
That's just who I am, that's just my video
That's just who I - I - I am
I - I - I can't pretend cause I know
You can only be who you are
[Verse 4]
언제나 걸고 있는 주문이 들리지
Clear all the talk away there's nothing that I really
우리 이대로 다
Go ahead and try
완성됐어 이미yeah
Got into the spirit
잘했어 we did it yeah yeah
[Verse 5]
Aja! Voy!
Que venga to'do el mundo a ver
Cuando estoy contigo
Es mi cosa preferida
La vida es mas grande, mientras mas es compartida
Que Cuando estamos juntos mi vida
La magia no termina
[Chorus]
We can only be who we are! (You can only be who you are)
That's just who I am, that's just my radio
That's just who I am, that's just my video
That's just who I - I - I am
I - I - I can't pretend cuz I know
You can only be who you are (Radio radio radio)
Can‘t pretend I can only be
[Outro]
That's just who I am, that's just my radio
That's just who I am, that's just my video
Wherever you are
We can only be who we are

Jon Batiste:
One of the things that Billy Bob does is he takes moments that are happening in the present and, just as a DJ would, he may blend in an interpolation or a nod to a song that is on wax from the past. He’ll even sometimes bend time and space and take a performance that’s happened in the...
