Lost in Los Angeles
Full of pride and empty promises
This city ain't good for me
I want what isn't mine
The grass is greener on the other side
I'm feeling that jealousy

I'm trying catch up with the human races
Stuck in second places
Never good enough, never good enough, never good enough
I'm trying real hard to keep smiles on faces
When I'm sad I just fake it
I have had enough, I have had enough, I have had enough

I wanna be
I wanna be u
I wanna be unique
I wanna be
I wanna be u
I wanna be unique

Small checks I'm self-employed
But when they come I spend to fill a void
I know it ain't good for me
Will this hit the radio?
What if I don't make it?
Oh I hope my parents are proud of me

I'm trying catch up with the human races
Stuck in second places
Never good enough, never good enough, never good enough
I'm trying real hard to keep smiles on faces
When I'm sad I just fake it
I have had enough, I have had enough, I have had enough

I wann be
I wanna be you
I wanna be unique
I wanna be
I wanna be u
I wanna be unique

But I know that sometimes I can be my worst enemy
I'm uptight, I'm sick of it, need to loosen up a bit
I just wanna look me in the face, please get off my case
It's my life I'm living it, I'll do what I want with it
Why do I feel his way?

I know this isn't me
When I see 'em, I wanna be 'em
Always compare myself, try to be someone else
Why do I do it?
I wish I knew it
