When I was little, it was like
I was a blank canvas for the future
Painted with endless outlooks and I thought
'I better find out what I need to become
So I can fit into society's expectations.'
Whenever people asked me,
"What do you wanna be?"
I wish I could have told them,
"None of your business."
If I could speak to my younger self,
I'd tell her not to fret about settling down for just one job
Child, don't be afraid to live a colorful lifestyle
See the world in all its glory and know that you're a part
Child, don't be afraid to live a colorful lifestyle
See the world in all its glory and know that you're a part
Now that I'm older, it seems like people ask,
"What do you do?" whenever they meet someone new
As a way to gauge who they are.
I tell myself that what I do is just a part of me
And there is more to myself than just jobs
Whenever people ask me,
"So, what do you do?"
I just want to tell them,
"None of your business."
If I could speak to my younger self,
I'd tell her not to fret about settling down for just one job
Child, don't be afraid to live a colorful lifestyle
See the world in all its glory and know that you're a part
Child, don't be afraid to live a colorful lifestyle
See the world in all its glory and know that you're a part
