Do What You Wanna – Lyrics

Do what you wanna
And do it
I got to convince you
You gotta stick to it

Keep on striving
Towards your goals
If it’s right
Don’t let it go
Live your life
You wanna live
Don’t be phony
Just be for real
People
Be yourself
Don’t be nobody
(Nobody else)

Do what you wanna
And do it
I got to convince you
You gotta stick to it

Don’t let nobody
Fool you around
Trying to turn your life
Upside down
Just be strong in your field
And when you reach the top
Happily you will live
People
Be yourself
Don’t be nobody
(Nobody else)

(Do what you wanna)
Come on
Do what you want, people
(And do it)
(I got to convince you)
Got to convince you
(Stick to it)
Stick to it
Oh, stick to it

(Do what you wanna)
Do what you want
(And do it)
(I got to convince you)
I got to convince you, babe
(Stick to it)
Stick to it

(Do what you wanna)
Do what you want
(And do it)
All you got to do
(I got to convince you)
(Stick to it)
