Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can be who you want to be
But, I'd rather be myself, for real
No pretending, no fake in me
'Cause getting out this shell is real
I don't know where I'm headed next
But, man, I can't even fake no more
Surrounded by lies and bullshit
****, I can't even take no more
See, I woke up having a bad day
Now, I gotta get the dollar any fast way
'Cause a **** growin' up, never had shit
I was actin' way too passive
[Verse 2]
I've been up and down, 'round and 'round
Tryna find my way back home
Gone too long, drownin' out
Still gonna play that song
[Verse 3]
Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, Annie, are you right?
Never got that text back from the other night
Let me tell you something that I really know
I was down bad up on my ass, I had to go
[Verse 4]
Ok, sometimes I know I'm dead wrong
So I just put it all in these songs
Shit, I'm still just finding myself
Finding myself up out of this zone, ****
Wish me well, jezebel, get out of my sight
I excel, then I sell shows out for the night, ugh
[Verse 5]
You can be who you want to be
But, rather be myself, for real
No pretending, no faking me
'Cause getting out this shell is real
I don't know where I'm headed next
But, man I can't even fake no more
Surrounded by lies and bullshit
****, I can't even take no more
See, I woke up having a bad day
Now, I gotta get the dollar any fast way
'Cause a **** growin' up, never had shit
I was actin' way too passive
[Verse 6]
I've been up and down, 'round and 'round
Tryna find my way back home
Gone too long, drownin' out
Still gonna play that song
[Verse 7]
Tryna find my way back home
I've been gone eight months out the year so far
Made a wrong turn down a dark road, on my way back
Crossed through a couple toll roads, had to pay tax
Back and forth, I mean forth and back
Had to get a bag, had to bring it back
Shit's so different now, had to readjust
Ain't too many people that I can trust
Keep to myself, aye
Spend this shit all on myself, ugh
Where would I be without self? Ugh
Look in the mirror like "Boy, you look good, yeah"
That's why I had to big up myself, ugh
I'm doing me, you should do you, fuck everybody else
Don't need nobody else
[Verse 8]
You can be who you want to be
But, rather be myself, for real
No pretending, no faking me
'Cause getting out this shell is real
I don't know where I'm headed next
But, man I can't even fake no more
Surrounded by lies and bullshit
****, I can't even take no more
See, I woke up having a bad day
Now, I gotta get the dollar any fast way
'Cause a **** growin' up, never had shit
I was actin' way too passive
[Verse 9]
I've been up and down, 'round and 'round
Tryna find my way back home
Gone too long, drownin' out
Still gonna play that song
