Intro
Being that I am the kinda girl that I am Nobody can make me do
what I don't want to I can be myself a lot and I'm proud of what I got So
I'll never change for you
Being that I am the kinda girl that I
am Tight jeans don't hit the scene with one like me I got to be feeling
free and you better believe I'll Do what pleases me
Yo Left Eye kick
the scene
See everyday last week and not a place to go This nut still
had me dressin' like a fashion show But not this week I'm chillin' cause it's
nothin' to hide Threw on my baggy dips and waited for my ride He pulled up
knock knock til I opened the door Peeped my gear and started dissin' me from
head to toe But yo just to let you know, it's takin' ta Make me wanna say
gotta go, gotta go
Chorus: Hat 2 da back I gotta kick my pants down
real low That's the kinda girl I am That's the kinda girl I am Hat 2
da back I gotta kick my pants down real low That's the kinda girl that I
am
Here we go, here we go, here we go again
Being that I am the
kinda girl that I am Some people just don't understand the things I
do (You feelin' it "D", you feelin' it) Chillin' with the girls or kick
it with the fellas If I choose
Being that I am the kinda girl that I
am Dumb rules are left for fools With no attitude I think my way is
cool So let me be me and continue being smooth Yo Left Eye what's up wit'
that guy?
So yo gettin' back to this dude wit' the foul attitude Shoot
he made another bad move sayin' that Girls shouldn't wear baseball caps he
can go take a hike Cause it's the style I like yeah it's a trip Cause
somethin' hasn't yet been said I never talked about them damn fingerwaves in
his head Tight pants and 2 rings in each ear You know that is dead but
it's me instead
Chorus
Here we go again
That's the kinda
girl I am Don't cha know I really don't give a damn Let me be me for me
and not what I'm supposed to be So I'm gonna do what I wanna do Cause
dumb rules are left for silly fools That's the kinda girl that I am -
ohh!
Here we go, here we go, here we go again
Some people might
wonder why we're like that Cause we're smooth Smooth you
know
Relatively speakin' I am no ordinary dip Cause I ain't reachin'
hipped Til you be thinkin' I'm flipped And that is ooooh on the TLC
