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) till I opened the door
Peeped my gear, started dissin’ me from head to toe
But yo’, just to let you know
It’s takin’ to make me wanna say gotta go, gotta go

Hat 2 da back I gotta kick my pants down real low
That’s the kinda girl that 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

{Ah, yeah}
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
Ya feelin’ it D, ya feelin’ it
Chillin’ with the girls or kick it with the fellas if I choose

And 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 with that guy

So you gettin’ back to this dude with 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 that I like, yeah
It’s a trip ‘cause somethin’ hasn’t yet been said
I never talked about them damn finger waves in his head
Tight jeans and two rings in each ear
You know that is dead, but it’s me instead

Hat 2 da back I gotta kick my pants down real low
That’s the kinda girl that 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 again

That’s the kinda girl I am
Don’t ya 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, oh

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 till you be thinkin’ I’m flipped
And that is ooooooohhh on the TLC tip
(1-2-3-4 y’all)
Here we go again

Hat 2 da back I gotta kick my pants down real low
That’s the kinda girl that 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

Hat 2 da back I gotta kick my pants down real low
That’s the kinda girl that 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
