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
