Yung Delirious - I Just Wanna Be Me (feat. Derwin L. Gray) Lyrics

Would you do the world a favor and be you?
Because everybody else is already taken
Do the world a favor and be you
The world needs you or God wouldn't have made you

I'm a psychopath...I bet God knows that
'Cause I could never feel pain or a real strain or a steel frame
Or I might go bad
Cuz when I get in my mood I gotta channel it quick
'Fore it goes away cuz it might not last
Like any relationship I've had in my life
Cuz when it all ends my lights go black
I'm not trynna go back, that's just me
I'm not trynna be black, so get off me
I'm just trynna be myself but I'm constantly judged
And consistently hated for what I might not be
What I might not see is who I'm impactin'
And affectin' when the light's on me
When my tanks on E, guess I'm leavin' early
So I can keep lookin' good on the time-clock-sheet
But the sight's on me, I'm just keepin' it together
Writin' all these letters, you don't see the pressure
I've been dealin' with, the lessons I've been healin' with
The sessions that seem real again, you see IG
You only see what I reveal to you
Huh...guess no one's a liar like me
How can I be so lost in all this sadness if I'm always smiling?

I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me

I've come to realize there's more to hype than drinks
More to life than me, more to life than things
I've come to recognize there's more to life than myself
And my own desires, man they mean nothing
I'm done bein' motivated by the Lamborghini
I care more about how the fans are gonna see me
I'm startin' to learn that the fans are gonna need me
I can't spend my time concerned with all the TV
I'm thinkin' for myself, thinkin' for my health
Thankful for the hell, preppin' for my cell
I'm thinkin' of the people around me affected by my choices
And decisions 'fore I ring that bell
I'm not down for the lean, I'm not down for the clothes
I'm not down for the weed, I'm not down for the hoes
Finally I'm free, finally I'm true
I just wanna be me, I don't wanna be
You

I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me

Would you do the world a favor and be you? (I just wanna be me)
Because everybody else is already taken (I just wanna be me)
Stop trying to be somebody else
Stop letting the culture define what's beautiful (so I'm gonna be me)
God says you're beautiful
Have you listened to God's voice in Psalms 139: 13 & 14?
That when you're in your mother's womb
You are wonderfully and fearfully made?
Have you looked in the mirror and said
"I'm wonderfully and fearfully made because God says"
Or have you looked at TV images?
Have you looked at magazine covers and said
"Oh I'm ugly because I don't look like them?"
And God is going "Precious child, you are beautiful to me"
You have a note to sing in this symphony of life
Would you do the world a favor and be you?
