[Verse 1]
Imagine you wake up radiating
(I know it's far fetched, just go with it)
You'll still have the exact same heart
The heart that you hurt all of those people with
And you might think you're a beacon
That you're a vessel for the truth
But I'm being too specific and nobody's gonna get it
Let me backtrace
[Verse 2]
If you grow up and get bullied
The bruises get worse for your whole life
The reasons not withstanding
We all heal at different rates and times
And the bullied become bullies
When they get some power too
Your mom will tell ya they don't mean it, but you know they fuckin' mean it
And the game stays: "you do you"
[Verse 3]
Like, if people tell you you're ugly
You might believe that after a while
Now, they could mean your behavior
Or surface level things just like your smile
And you'll crowdfund that money
If you want to change your looks
But you don't really need it
Unless you really need a brand new face, you do you
[Chorus]
You do you despite my hullabaloo
You be you and you'll be fine
Each and every rule-maker's just a little Darth Vader
I believe in you, so please believe in yourself, alright?
[Verse 4]
Everybody's a critic
And everybody gets criticized
Some people call that a witch hunt
And that is code for "all of my critics are right"
And everybody's got feelings
Yet some refuse to pick on someone their own size
Everybody gets pushed too far
Everybody fuckin' snaps one night
[Bridge]
Here's to the shapeshifters
Forever scarred from public school
Who mean well but don't notice that they're mean, but they were fine in the first place?
You do you
[Chorus]
You do you despite my hullabaloo
You be you and you'll be fine
Each and every rule-maker's just a little Darth Vader
I believe in you, so please believe in yourself, alright?
You do you despite my hullabaloo
You be you and you'll be fine
Get your mind out of the gutter unless you want it in the gutter
And if you do, well then you do you all night
