I Gotta Be Me

[Verse 1: TreDay]
Converse on my feet now
Like MJ I three peat now
Retire, come back, change my number
Got the .45 on my seat now
I'm riding around you can't find me now
I finally got my timing down
I'm grinding now
If you don't believe me
Cream of the crop no pot to pee see
I won't stop til I'm up on TV
Walk in Best Buy and see my CD
Smoking and choking and feeling that motion
Toking and hoping that potion is potent
I'm floating, got a masterpiece
Write the recipe down give Matt the beat
Turn up the heat, get a slab of meat
And I'll cook it on up like it's suppose to be
Cause I am TreDay
And I finally got all my pay straight
Make the haters leave town need to vacate
And I'm all up in your face like an AK
And I got a little smarter
Turn my flow up and I go harder
I might blow up and go martyr
You can call me Mr. Parker
Hide your daughters
Cause they love me
All they wanna do is rub me
Bang so hard like a club beat
Get out your seat I'm up beat
I'm flying high when I'm riding by
Punch you in your lying eye
Spit cyanide I'm that kind of guy
If you try to change me I just reply
That I gotta be me
Even if I lose it all today I gotta be free
I don't really care what these haters gotta say
I rock to the beat
Of a different drum
Can't wait to get them some
I'm so far from complete
But I'm on the right track
I'ma never look back
I gotta be me
Even if it means I'm not famous
I gotta be free
At the end of the day
I say hey man that's all I can be
And for anyone that doubted me
I pull something up out of me
And then it just turned out to be
Me

[Verse 2: Matthew]
I told my girl that I gotta go leave
If I can't take care of me
How can I take on two or three?
But that's another chapter
Someone found out that I rapped
And said I don't look like a rapper
Well I'm sorry man but I gotta be me
Even if it ain't what's popular
I'm an emcee
And I can't please everybody but
I can please me
I can try to be
What I wanna be
While you sit there and only gonna be a wannabe
So when it comes to towns (what)
I'ma hold it down (what)
I'ma stay here
I'ma make it through the underground
And when it comes to shows (uh huh)
And the videos (uh huh)
Mine is way better
And yours was put together with all this doe
So tell me what's real
When I tell you how I feel
Knowing that it's probably something
That you don't wanna hear
But you really need to
And I hate to leave you
But I got some things that I gotta see through
While I was sitting on the bench
Music today don't make sense
The best done came and they went
And it hasn't been the same since
And for anyone still in denial
Of how I feel well I'm proud
Cause I'm still here and I found out
That I gotta be me
Even if it means I'm not famous
I gotta be free
At the end of the day
I say hey man that's all I can be
And for anyone that doubted me
I pull something up out of me
And then it just turned out to be
Me
