   It's hard to translate; I'm not completely sure what it means myself.   
   The problem is that "rashii" is a suffix that connects to a noun X and   
   means "like X" or "in the way of X".  So "kodomo-rashii" would mean   
   "like a child" or "childish".  But the song lyrics here just have   
   "rashii" ungrammatically by itself (in its adverbial form "rashiku").   
   I don't know why it has quotation marks around it in the lyrics.   
      
   My guess is "I'll do it my way", but what do I know?

   I watched most of the AQ arc in one or two sittings because I wanted   
   to finish it before I went home for Spring Break (from college).  I   
   hardly remember the ending at all; I was sort of watching it in an "I   
   have to finish this before tomorrow" mood rather than "I want to watch   
   all these because the story is compelling".
