I just wanna be true
I just wanna be true
True
I just wanna be...
True to myself, true, yeah yeah, true
I just wanna be true to myself, true, yeah yeah, true
I just...
Folks said they wanted me to be a doctor, a lawyer, something like that
Daddy said get a job mama said get an education
So that's the only way I knew how to (get get get it)
Music got my mind so twisted
Many search their whole lives not knowing who they are or what they want to be
(But you gave me)
The answer when I needed it
Told me I was gonna be somebody
But at 23 what this world sees is so different than how You see me
I swear I'm not happy
And I know it's a choice to be but I don't know where I'm going
Can you guide me? Cause I just wanna be
True to myself, true, yeah yeah, true
I just wanna be true to myself, true, yeah yeah, true
I just... (I just wanna be true to myself)
And when I wake up everyday I wanna breathe your air
I wanna feel your presence so unpredictable so powerful it's so refreshing
I'll never need you more than I need you now
I wanna let go my fears cause I can't figure it out
I can't do it by myself I can't do it on my own
And lately I've been so low
This life thing got me moving, moving so slow
I've lost direction this is my confession cause I can't do it by myself
True to myself, true, yeah yeah, true
I just wanna be true to myself, true, (true I just wanna be true) yeah yeah, true
(True I just wanna be true)
I just... (I just wanna be true to myself)
I'm a daddy's girl
And I love you daddy
But you believe in the Powerball
More than your daughter
Investing in tickets for money
And they say blood is thicker than water
You preach about happiness
So why am I still unhappy?
Is it cause all you know is work?
Half a million dollar house
But your presence is missed so badly to the fact that
You don't even realize all you bring is hurt
All I wanted was support on this earth
Don't get me wrong
I appreciate that you provide for us
I'm not ungrateful just a little bruised with cuts
And ever since my aunt died I've been losing my way
Tryna stay prayed up
Tryna get rid of luck and replacing it with favor
God is the connection
But I swear it's easier for me to ignore His direction
I'm stubborn and I know that's the real reason we don't get along
I know my disobedience is why I write songs
I know I got a light but I refuse to shine
Fear crippling the Truth; sight to the blind
And God I promise I can hear you in my ear
The devil's like what's a still small voice to fear
If my free will isn't steered by your spirit
Then I ain't even close to living
But a wise man told me
I wouldn't have the gift if I couldn't do it
The only way out the struggle
Is the way through it...
True
True to myself, true, yeah yeah, true
I just wanna be true to myself, true, yeah yeah, true
I just... I just wanna be true to myself (true, true - hoo hoo)
True to myself, true, yeah yeah, true
I just wanna be true to myself, true (I just wanna get to know you, I just want the truth)
Yeah yeah, (I can't do it by myself yeah , I need you) true
I just wanna be true to myself (true - hooo true - hoo hoo)
True to myself, true, yeah yeah, true
I just wanna be true to myself (I just wanna be true, I just wanna be)
Yeah yeah (I just wanna be true)
I just wanna be true
True to myself
