Before class: Print enough lyrics scramble sheets for one out of every three students. Cut the song lyrics on the dotted line.
- Put students into small groups and ask them to put the song lyrics in order. They may need to listen 2-3 times to finish the task.
- Ask groups to check their answers with another group, and then listen to the song again to check the answers as a class.

Been climbin up here for a while
Just been trynna change somehow
——————————————————
Cuz I’m not really who you need me to be
——————————————————
But I learned sometimes it’s just gotta be me
It may be hard to take
——————————————————
Cuz you ain’t used to seeing me this way
——————————————————
I’m free from your perception
No longer need acceptance
——————————————————
Right now it’s gotta be about me
——————————————————
I know
I’m not perfect
But who is
——————————————————
But I know
That I’m worth it
But who gives
——————————————————
A perfect performance
And
Who lives
——————————————————
For your endorsement
Not me, Not me
Anymore
——————————————————
May not like what you hear now
But you gon’ feel me, you gon’ feel me
——————————————————
May not like what you see now
It’s the real me, it’s the real me
——————————————————
You already know
Who I am its exposed
——————————————————
Are you gon’ stay or let it go
Either way I’m still gon’ be me
——————————————————
I’m starting all over
I’m running my own show
——————————————————
Cuz all I really want to be is for me
With no map, Just me on the open road
——————————————————
I know
I’m not perfect
But who is
——————————————————
But I know
That I’m worth it
But who gives
——————————————————
A perfect performance
And
Who lives
——————————————————
For your endorsement
Not me, Not me
Anymore
——————————————————
May not like what you hear now
But you gon’ feel me, you gon’ feel me
——————————————————
May not like what you see now
It’s the real me, it’s the real me
——————————————————
You already know
Who I am its exposed
——————————————————
Are you gon’ stay or let it go
Either way I’m still gon’ be me
