Just Being Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Feels like I'm in the sky, flying over clouds or somethin' I don't smoke weed, but you could say I'm high on somethin' It's like this music is my addiction, I call it my nicotine What you're witnessing is an addicted fiend and it sickens me, ah! Just a lame is how you picture me Give me that microphone and I'm gon' rip it so viciously Ain't you hearing the chemistry? Ain't it ironic I brought up chemistry? 'Cause I was never good at math, but I'm ill with the melodies Since I was a kid, I had a dream that I would make it I spent thousands of hours writing music in that basement Yo, and even though I'm broke, you wanna know why I still chase it? 'Cause once you get a taste of it, there is no replacement Yo, I don't rap so millions of people'll like me I rap 'cause there's millions of people just like me If you think I'm out of my mind, I ain't gon' argue, I might be But I am not on these stages just for people to sightsee [Chorus] I'd rather die than let this dream go to waste You can tell that I ain't playing by the look upon my face The world wants to tell us who we are and who we ain't But the person that I am is somethin' you can never change Yeah, I'm just being me, yeah I'm just being me, yeah I'm just being me, yeah And this defines me, look into my music and you'll find me [Verse 2] When I step into that studio, feels like I'm in my house If you listen to my music, then you know what I'm about No, I ain't never been the type to just sit around on the couch I get lost in these beats 'til my body passes out, let's rewind Whatever happened to music that meant something 'Cause nowadays, I look around and music don't mean nothin' And to be honest, what's really making me sick to my stomach Is everybody's running around screaming they love it A lotta people think they understand the music biz I am not a genius, but at least, I know what music is Put a CD on the shelf and you thinking you'll be filthy rich But you just become the definition of what "filthy" is The music, me and her, we've been through a lot together And I can tell somethin' ain't right if we are not together And yo, God gave me the story, so we plot together I get shot, whatever? This is who I am, remember? [Chorus] I'd rather die than let this dream go to waste You can tell that I ain't playing by the look upon my face The world wants to tell us who we are and who we ain't But the person that I am is somethin' you can never change Yeah, I'm just being me, yeah I'm just being me, yeah I'm just being me, yeah And this defines me, look into my music and you'll find me [Bridge] I'd rather die than let this dream go to waste You can tell that I ain't playing by the look upon my face The world wants to tell us who we are and who we ain't But the person that I am is somethin' you can never change Yeah, I'm just being me, yeah I'm just being me, yeah I said that I'm just being me, yeah I'm just being me, I'm just being me [Chorus] I'd rather die than let this dream go to waste You can tell that I ain't playing by the look upon my face The world wants to tell us who we are and who we ain't But the person that I am is somethin' you can never change Yeah, I'm just being me, yeah I'm just being me, yeah I'm just being me, yeah And this defines me, look into my music and you'll find me Yeah, I'm just being me
