Lyrics The Staple Singers – I Got To Be Myself

Text:

I got to be myself, I can’t be nobody else
I got to be myself, I can’t be nobody else

Can’t change my color
Can’t change my skin

What you see is what I am, ya’ll
It’s been like that since my time began

I got to be myself, I can’t be nobody else
I got to be myself, I can’t be nobody else

(I’m on up
?) with my life
Let me do, what I think is right
‘Cause I got to be myself, lord
I can’t be nobody else

I got to be myself, I can’t be nobody else
I got to be myself, I can’t be nobody else

…Can’t be nobody else
I got to be myself, I can’t be nobody else
Say it…
I got to be myself, I can’t be nobody else
I got to be myself, I can’t be nobody else

Let me be myself, ya’ll…
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)
