I’ll Be Me
[Chorus: Sample from James Bay - Let It Go & (J-Formz)]
(You got me?)
Come on, let it go (OK)
Just let it be (Uh huh)
Why don't you be you (Do that)
And I'll be me (I'm fine right here)
Everything that's broke (Leave what?)
Leave it to the breeze (OK)
Why don't you be you (Let me tell them something)
And I'll be me (Check this)
And I'll be me
[Verse 1: J-Formz]
You know, it's kind of funny, call it ironic, whatever
Back in the day, lyrically, couldn't have got any better
So what'd they do? Pull an excuse: "He's bullshittin"
Lines was too good to beliеve what I was spittin
Fast forward, I ain't spit a rhyme in years, I don't rap
But don't a motha fucka quеstion me, how funny is that!?
I went back, read reviews on my shit
But the bottom line was, dog, I had views on my shit
I couldn't tell you one single name of who was talkin shit
But you was talkin about me, sayin that I couldn't spit
Google me, you'll see everything that you need to know
But I google you, it's nothin, you a John Doe
And it's cool, I don't judge, I'm way over that shit
So you could talk about me forever, it is what it is
So you decide who you wanna be
Then just let it go, you be you, my dude, and I'll be me
[Chorus: Sample from James Bay - Let It Go]
So, come on, let it go, just let it be
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
And I'll be me
[Verse 2: J-Formz]
You see the flow, see my passion, know I love this art
But hold on, you ain't let me tell you the fucked up part
I set the bar high for myself, everytime I succeed
It makes me think less of you instead of higher of me
But whatever, I am who I am
Can you say that proudly? I guess when I'm on this mic, I can
Cause I've learned one thing inside my darkest hour:
That you give power to your doubt when you doubt your power
So live your life tryin to act like somebody else
I honestly just got more confidence in bein myself
But it's a thin line, you're sayin proudly you ain't change
Accomplishment? Or is there adjustments that you can't make?
But I don't know shit, only you know that
Or maybe you don't, and that's the reason you can't rap
You're one in a million? Good, then mathematically
There's a lot of you's, but there's only one of me
[Chorus: Sample from James Bay - Let It Go]
[Verse 3: J-Formz]
And nobody hears this shit like I do
Cause you ain't me, can't write a song for what's inside you
But I've tried to, I guess me and the world don't mix
If there's an afterlife, would wonder if I'm on that list
But my life was amazing, and I just want you to know
And wanna thank anybody who was a part of the show
It means somethin to your boy that I could never express
You let me be me, and I will never forget
Always prided myself on reciprocatin that, too
I hope that when you was around me, you could just be you
And try and understand that it was tough for me
Knowin the things I think apply to you just sucked for me
So what do I do? Point out what you don't see?
And make it apparent to you why you should feel like me?
Nah, I'll never say nothin or so it seems
I'll live my whole life just constantly takin one for the team
I got you...
