I Got To Be Myself Lyrics

[Chorus: The Staple Singers]
I got to be myself, I can't be nobody else
I got to be myself, I can't be nobody else

[Verse 1: Mavis Staples]
Can't change my color
Can't change my skin
What you see is what I am, y'all
It's been like that since my time began
Oh, I...

[Chorus: The Staple Singers]
I got to be myself, I can't be nobody else, no
I got to be myself, I can't be nobody else

[Verse 2: Mavis Staples]
Y'all, let me, live my life
Let me do, what I think is right
'Cause I got to be myself, y'all
I can't be nobody else, nah, nah

[Chorus: The Staple Singers]
I got to be myself, I can't be nobody else
I got to be myself, I can't be nobody else
(Let me by myself)

[Bridge: Mavis Staples & The Staple Singers]
I can't be nobody else
I've got to be myself, I can't be nobody else
You say it...
I got to be myself, I can't be nobody else
I got to be myself, I can't be nobody else

[Outro: The Staple Singers & Mavis Staples]
Let me be myself, y'all
I got to be myself, let me be myself
I got to be myself, let me be myself

I got to be myself, let me be myself (Just want to be myself)
I got to be myself, let me be myself (Let me live and die)
I got to be myself, let me be myself (Let me do what I think is right)
I got to be myself, let me be myself (Oh, I wanna be myself)
