In the silence I hear best.
and i say thank u.
and the dj of my mind throws a new record on…
as I said… Thank you….
for letting me be myself…
again.
i don’t own much.
just one thing really.
and we all got to have one.
and we all gots to responsible for our own.

… Lookin' at the devil
Grinnin' at his gun
Fingers start shakin'
I begin to run
Bullets start chasin'
I begin to stop
We begin to wrestle
I was on the top
… I want to thank you for letting me be myself again
Thank you for letting me be myself again
… Stiff all in the collar
Fluffy in the face
Chit-chat chatter tryin'
Stuffy in the place
Thank you for the party
But I could never stay
Many things on my mind
Words in the way
… I want to thank you for letting me be myself again
Thank you for letting me be myself again
… Dance to the music
All night long
Every day people
Sing a simple song
Mama's so happy
Mama start to cry
Papa's still singin'
You can make it if you try
… I want to thank you for letting me be myself again (oh yeah)
(Different strokes for different folks, yeah)
Thank you for letting me be myself again
… Flamin' eyes of people fear burnin' into you
Many men are missin' much, hatin' what they do
Youth and truth are makin' love, dig it for a starter
Dyin' young is hard to take, sellin' out is harder
… Thank you for letting me be myself again
I want to thank you for letting me be myself again
Thank you for letting me be myself again
Thank you for letting me be myself again
… I want to thank you for letting me be myself again
I want to thank you for letting me be myself again
I want to thank you for letting me be myself again
I want to thank you for letting me be myself again
