You Do You
Embrace Your Uniqueness: You Do You by Hallie Davis Inspires Authenticity
Lyrics
They want ya to be perfect
There is external pressure for perfection.
Want you to fit the part
Expectations to conform to a certain role or image.
Turn ya into something that your not
Warning against losing authenticity.
Try to tell ya who you are
Resisting external definitions of identity.
They try to compare you
Unfavorable comparisons to unrealistic standards.
To those In a magazine
Being measured against idealized magazine images.
Be like those girls on Instagram
Encouraging authenticity over curated online personas.
They filter what they want their life to be
Highlighting the selective nature of online representation.
I do what I want
Embracing personal freedom and choice.
Say what I mean
Expressing thoughts directly without reservation.
I make no apology
Refusing to apologize for being true to oneself.
So imma do me
Commitment to individuality and self-expression.
And you do you
Encouraging others to embrace their own authenticity.
Yeah you do you
-Yeah You do you
-Yeah you do you
-They’ll say you ain’t enough
Expectation of criticism for not meeting societal standards.
But you’re a diamond in the rough
Recognizing hidden potential despite external judgments.
Just waiting for your chance to shine
Believing in the eventual recognition of one's worth.
Get ready, you’re gonna blow their mind
Anticipation of surprising others with achievements.
They say you won’t go far
Warning against the belief that appearance determines success.
Until you look the part
Rejecting the notion that conformity guarantees success.
But Beautiful ain’t spelled without U
Emphasizing the role of individuality in beauty.
You’re perfect the way you are
Affirming self-worth irrespective of societal expectations.
I do what I want
Reiteration of the importance of individuality.
Say what I mean
-I make no apology
-So imma do me
-And you do you
-Yeah you do you
-Yeah you do you
-Yeah you do you
-Yeah you do you
Continued emphasis on embracing one's true self.
You do you
-You do you
-Yeah you do you
-Don’t let them change ya
Advising against allowing external influences to change identity.
Be who you wanna be
Encouraging authenticity regardless of societal expectations.
Stay true to who you are
Advocating staying true to one's core identity.
Even if they don’t agree
Promoting self-expression even in the face of disagreement.
Do what you want
Reiteration of personal freedom and choice.
Make no apology
Reaffirming the right to express oneself without apology.
This is your life so
Emphasizing the ownership of one's life choices.
imma do me
Reiteration of the commitment to individuality.
And you do you you you
-You do you
-Yeah you do you
-You do you
-You do you
-Yeah you do you
-You do you
-Yeah you do you
-Yeah you do you
-Imma do me so you do - YOU DO YOU
Final reinforcement of the message: "You do you."
Imma do me so you do - YOU DO YOU
-Imma do me so you do - YOU DO YOU
-Imma do me so you do - YOU DO YOU
-Yeah you do you
