Chorus / Description : The song emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself and not compromising one's beliefs. It implies that being aligned with God's values is essential. While it does not directly reference any specific biblical verses, it aligns with biblical teachings on staying true to one's identity and not conforming to the world (Romans 12:2, James 4:4).
If I'm wanting to eat a steak
Then I won't go eat Chinese buffet
And if I want an Italian feast
Then I won't go to a Mexican place
And if I'm wanting to drive a Honda
I won't go buy a Chevrolet
And if it comes in black and white
Then I won't go try and make it gray
What you got on the outside
Is coming in on the inside
What you got on the inside
Is coming out on the outside
Who you are affects what you do
Who you are affects what you do
Well you gotta be who you are
And don't be what you're not
If you want to be of the world
Well then you can't be of God [2x]
And if it makes your drummer sick
Then you don't eat at a pizza buffet
And if you want to eat grilled cod
Then you don't order a fish fillet
You don't go to a mechanic
When something's wrong with your back
And if you have a little girl
Then you don't go name her Jack
What you got on the outside
Is coming in on the inside
What you got on the inside
Is coming out on the outside
Who you are affects what you do
Who you are affects what you do
Well you gotta be who you are
And don't be what you're not
If you want to be of the world
Well then you can't be of God [2x]
What you got on the outside
Is coming in on the inside
What you got on the inside
Is coming out on the outside
Who you are affects what you do
Who you are affects what you do
Well you gotta be who you are
And don't be what you're not
If you want to be of the world
Well then you can't be of God [2x]
