Lyrics

Intro:
Special
To all my people in the world
Hey, You're all one of a kind
Hey, cause you got your own mind
Ooh, check it out

Verse I:
So they always tried to tell you when to stand and sit
But a square peg in a round hole won't fit
So this is for my true original misfits, ahh
See cause we don't wanna be a wannabe nation
Be yourself, cause everybody else is taken
If you're not true, your'e not you, you're just faking
That's why...
I just wanna play my music, but everybody's stressing me to get a job man
9 to 5, you need that to survive man
And start thinking about retirement
Damn man, I can't retire yet
I haven't even begun to make these people perspire yet
But don't sweat when they sweat your technique
You're just trying to make the whole wide world see that you're...

Chorus:
Special, all you gotta do is just be you
Hey, all I gotta be is who I be
Hey, celebrate originality
Cause you're special, you're special you're
Special, can't nobody tell you where to stand
Go ahead and give yourself a hand
You could even do the "Safety Dance"
Cause you're special, you're special, you're
Special

To all my people in the world
Hey, You're all one of a kind
Hey, cause you got your own mind
Ooh, check it out

Verse II:
So they always try to tell you how you shouldn't be dressing
Til' you can't tell the difference between you and the next man
They'll try and change your soul if you let them try
See everyday you wake up to your own reflection
And tell yourself "you're gonna have to be yourself, man"
They can't bite your style, just let them try
While everybody keeps it crunkin'
You dance to the rhythm of a different drum, man
Speak your mind, you got your own things to say
And you ain't gotta repeat after me
So just smile when you hear them hate
Cause ain't nobody in the world got your DNA
But don't sweat when they sweat your technique
You're just trying to make the whole wide world see that you're...

Chorus:
Special, all you gotta do is just be you
Hey, all I gotta be is who I be
Hey, celebrate originality
Cause you're special, you're special you're
Special, can't nobody tell you where to stand
Go ahead and give yourself a hand
You could even do the "Safety Dance"
Cause you're special, you're special, you're
Special

Outro:
You're so really special girl
Ooh, stop living in your lonely world
You see, you see you're so really special damn
Ooh, all you really got to do is just give yourself a chance
