Doing Me


Já que A Origem não recebeu uma trilha sonora comercial oficial (além da composta por Junkie XL, é claro), farei o possível para reunir aqui no blog as faixas que hipoteticamente fariam parte de uma coletânea assim. Idealmente, eu esperaria até o lançamento em mídia do filme para analisar a tela de créditos com calma, mas algumas das músicas se destacaram no filme.

Este é o caso de Doing Me, da cantora Ray BLK, que toca durante a rotina de Lara Croft como bicigirl (?!). A letra é uma boa simbolização da época em que vivemos, onde cada vez mais as pessoas parecem estar mais dispostas e dedicadas a cuidar de vidas alheias do que das próprias.

Resumidamente, seja quem você é; você não precisa provar nada para ninguém.

Doing Me
Ray BLK
Sometimes I wear my hair down to my back
Or I cut a bob and do it into single plaits
And if it's the summertime maybe do a weave
Always change my style depending where my head is at
Sometimes I wear my V-neck real low
If I'm feeling sexy then expect some skin will show
Maybe wear a turtle neck if I'm feeling cold
My dressing is expression so don't judge me by my clothes

Some days I roll up in a hood and a trackie
Turning up your nose 'cause you think I look tacky
I go to a Michelin meal in my Reebox
Ain't gotta wear my wares and be flashy

A short skirt doesn't mean that I want it
My appearance doesn't represent my wallet
This is for the ignorant ones with opinions
Keep your two cents inside your pocket

I'm just doing me
I'm just doing me, me, me, me
Why don't you do you?
That's what you should do, do, do, do
I'm gonna show ya, show ya, show ya
I'm gonna show ya, show ya, show ya
How you can do you
That's what you should do, do, do, do

I see you following submission I know you're wishing
That you could let you hair down a mirror, my emission
So why you worrying about being an outcast
Don't you know to be yourself and never ask permission?
My short shorts accentuate my bumper
I hear the girls whisper whenever I walk past
"What's she wearing?" but I paid them no attention
To satisfy them is never my intention

I'd rather do me so you can do you
You're following the crowd, I'd rather break rules
You're copying trends I'd rather invent
I've got nothing to prove but neither do you
Said I'd rather do me, so you can do you
You're following the crowd, I'd rather break the rules
And you're copying trends I'd rather invent
I've got nothing to prove but neither do you

I'm just doing me
You try doing you
