Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, yeah
[Verse 2]
Everybody wants to rise above
Without a touch of dignity, without a stroke of love
Take a little time, check yourself
To live the life you're praying for
Just be true to yourself
[Verse 3]
Everybody wants to be your friend
If you got a dime to lend
You never really matter in the end to them
That's why
[Verse 4]
I'm true to myself, y'all
I'm true to my family
And love with a true integrity
[Verse 5]
I'm true to myself, y'all (True)
I'm true to my God above
And love with a true integrity
[Verse 6]
Everybody wants a piece of you and me
To be the victim of their greed or co-dependency, hey
It's so very hard to know which way to go (Don't know which way)
A lie can be the gospel truth if eloquently told
[Verse 7]
Oh hey, everybody wants to make amends
If they can see another win
You never really matter in the end to them
That's why
[Verse 8]
I'm true to myself, y'all
I'm true to my family (My little family)
And love with a true integrity, hey, I am
[Verse 9]
I'm true to myself, y'all
I'm true to my man above (True)
And love with a true integrity
[Verse 10]
Some people live their whole life and never see
The only way to find true happiness
Is to thine own self be
[Verse 11]
True to yourself, y'all
Gotta live your life for you, yeah
All you gotta do
Well, is be true to yourself, well
I'm true to myself, y'all
I'm true to my little baby girl, yeah
I gotta be true, oh yeah
[Verse 12]
I'm true to myself, y'all
I'm true to my family
And love with a true integrity, yeah
[Verse 13]
I'm true to myself, y'all (True)
I'm true to my God above (I'm gonna be true)
And love with a true integrity
[Verse 14]
(True to your) I'm true to myself, y'all
(Be true to your) I'm true to my God above
(Be true) And love with a true integrity (Oh)
[Verse 15]
(True to your) I'm true to myself, y'all
(Be true to your) True to my little baby girl (A little truth now)
(Be true) And love with a true integrity (Oh, hey, yeah)
[Verse 16]
(True to your) I'm true to myself, y'all (I'm gonna be)
(Be true to your) I'm true to the family (I long to be)
(Be true) Love with true integrity (Love with a true integrity)
Everybody wanna and live the way you gotta live your life, y'all
[Verse 17]
(True to your) (I'm true to myself, y'all)
(Be true to your) Got to be true (I'm true to my God above)
(Be true) Gotta be true (And love with a true integrity)
