Just The Way You Are
Bruno Mars Feat. Lupe Fiasco Lyrics

First rule, never let 'em change you
The first rule is to always be yourself and not let others change you.

Rule two, do you to the fullest (to the fullest)
The second rule is to always be true to yourself and live your life to the fullest extent possible.

And never be ashamed to
Always be proud of who you are and never be ashamed of it.

You're just good at what they can't do
You have unique qualities and skills that others don't possess.

And they hate that, they wanna paint you

In their color, put you in another
