Be (feat. Aura Griffiths)

I just wanna be, I wanna be me Arms spread wide so I can fly and be free Head in the clouds just as high as could be See all I really want is to be I just wanna be, I wanna be me Arms spread wide so I can fly and be free Head in the clouds just as high as could be See all I really want is to be They'll be quick to tell you that you'll never make it But when you finally do they'll act like they never hated One minute they love it, the next minute they hate it If you're not true to yourself you'll find yourself constantly changing (Uh) I'm from a place where there's no role models Only a few can say they've paved ways, made roads to follow And I know it might be a hard pill to swallow But you gotta keep in mind that you're living on time that borrowed Make the most of today and hope for a better tomorrow Don't let what's in the past bring you sorrow Life is beautiful like a vivid lyric that's written in a rap Your life ain't come with a receipt, so why would you give it back? But I'm guessing if you're hurting you're hoping the pain lessens My generation is facing a great depression It's getting harder and harder to get out of bed Sick of the world, no prescription, but marijuana my meds I just wanna be, I wanna be me Arms spread wide so I can fly and be free Head in the clouds just as high as could be See all I really want is to be I just wanna be, I wanna be me Arms spread wide so I can fly and be free Head in the clouds just as high as could be See all I really want is to be I'm just tryna get my cake up Then cuff a chick that looks fine without the make up Haven't had the best of luck, so love I stopped chasing it Made a few mistakes, but in life there's no erasing it This one girl had me thinking that imma marry her Now she labels me a bad du', like I'm Erykah And though my skin tone Bernie Mac black I bet I could bag a bad bitch and her ass fat (Facts) Dangerous as if a nigga wearing all read Faces on the paper in my pockets and they're all dead As I look down to see the check on my sneaks I think I need checks for these raps that I'm rapping on beats This would be the sound track to my life if I ever wrote one Watch as I two-step to the beat of my own drum I wanna be a better me, constantly changing everyday Good ain't good enough, but I'll be good with being great I just wanna be, I wanna be me Arms spread wide so I can fly and be free Head in the clouds just as high as could be See all I really want is to be I just wanna be, I wanna be me Arms spread wide so I can fly and be free Head in the clouds just as high as could be See all I really want is to be I just wanna be I wanna be free Don't wanna be you Just wanna be me I just wanna be I wanna be free Don't wanna be you Just wanna be me (Ah yeah)
