Be Me

(album: Chapter 4: Labor Pains - 2008)

In a world so complicated
Sometimes I wonder how I make it
(With all the hate and all the fame)
How do I keep a smiling face?
See all I wanna do is sing
Without compromising me
So hard to stay true to me in a lying industry

And I just wanna be able to wear my own hair and nails
(And not be judged for)
How much money I make how many records I sale
(Cause that don't define me)
How can I teach my son to be a leader if I'm always following?
(That's right)
Too much stress to be someone else
It's hard enough just being me

I just wanna be me (All the time seven days a week)
I just wanna be me (Summer, Fall, and Winter, Spring)
I just wanna be me (Best qualified for the job)
No one can be any better than me
I just wanna be me (In the Chi, Where I'm from to overseas)
I just wanna be me (With my friends and my family)
I just wanna be me (Best qualified for the job)
No one can be any better than me

Threw all my cards upon the table
Started my own record label
(Decided it was time for me)
To do this by myself
I'm tryna do real big things
Tryna be all I can be
(But I gotta still do me)
No matter what hand is dealt

And I just wanna be able to wear my own hair and nails
(And not be judged for)
How much money I make how many records I sale
(Cause that don't define me)
How can I teach my son to be a leader if I'm always following
(That's right)
Too much stress to be someone else
It's hard enough just being me

I just wanna be me (All the time seven days a week)
I just wanna be me (Summer, Fall, and Winter, Spring)
I just wanna be me (Best qualified for the job)
No one can't be any better than me
I just wanna be me (In the Chi, Where I'm from to overseas)
I just wanna be me (With my friends and my family)
I just wanna be me (Best qualified for the job)
No one can't be any better than me

And I keep telling myself to believe
It?s what I keep on telling myself everyday
No matter what the world may think
I?m gonna be me

I just wanna be me (All the time seven days a week)
I just wanna be me (Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring)
I just wanna be me (Best qualified for the job)
No one can't be any better than me
I just wanna be me (In the Chi, Where I'm from to overseas)
I just wanna be me (With my friends and my family)
I just wanna be me (Best qualified for the job)
No one can't be any better than me

I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me yeah, yeah, uh-hu
