Just Being Me

Feels like I'm in the sky, flyin' 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 addictive fiend and it sickens me

Just as lame is how you picture me

Gimme that microphone and I'ma rip it so viciously

Ain't you hearin' 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 writin' music in that basement

You know, 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 will like me

I rap 'cause there's millions of people just like me

If you think I'm outta my mind, I ain't gon' argue, I might be

But I am not on these stages just for people to sightsee

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 something you could never take

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

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

Oh, I ain't never been the type to just sit around on the couch

I get lost in these beats till my body passes out

Let's rewind

Whatever happened to music that meant something?

'Cause nowadays I look around and music don't mean nothing

And to be honest what's really making me sick to my stomach

Is everybody's running around, screaming they love it

A lot of 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 a filthy itch

The music, me and her, we've been through a lot together

And I can tell something ain't right if we are not together

And yo, God gave me this story, so we plot together

I get shot, whatever, this is who I am, remember?

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 something you could never take

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

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 something you could never take

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

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 something you could never take

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
