Just Me (Be You)

[Prod. by TK]

[Verse 1]
Had my heart on the floor I finally picked it up
I found the cure to my life because I was sick of stuff
Sick of feelin' like I'm livin' without a purpose
I hop up on the mic and pray to God that you heard this
See this is me, I'm just a chill young dude, smokin' on weed
Don't judge cause I will not budge this what I need
I need you to open up, stop holdin' on to this front
Cause my own expectations are higher than what's in my blunt
Yup, yup, I got pressure on my back again
Nowadays I'm just hopin' I can laugh again
My mentor got me feelin' I can rap again
So I can bring balance to the Force like I'm Anakin
Rap is dying, it's now the Walking Dead
Don't need to do nothin' stupid I'd rather talk instead
I'm tryna use my voice to give knowledge to the youth
Have a purpose when I step in the booth

[Hook]
Baby I'm just me
You just gotta be you
You just gotta be true
Always do what you do
And I'm just me
You just gotta be you
You just gotta be true
Do what you do

[Verse 2]
You said you love my passion
Knew that every word I was sayin' I wasn't actin'
Dropped my soul in the booth for you to pick it up
I hope you hear me out, better yet I hope you listen up
Life is a hell of a ride
But it's what you make of it, hope you can handle the night
When you in ya room, lights off, you can barely decide
On the thoughts inside ya mind, is it wrong, is right?
Look in ya heart, do you see Heaven or Hell?
We all prisoners, cause we just stare at a cell
Open up ya mind you got ideas to sell
Let ya heart speak for you, it got stories to tell
Don't be afraid of your potential
You here for a reason I know that you're very special
And just remember in this life
Whether you think you can or you can't, either way you right

[Hook]
Baby I'm just me
You just gotta be you
You just gotta be true
Always do what you do
And I'm just me
You just gotta be you
You just gotta be true
Do what you do

[Verse 3]
I used to battle depression, hope I never have to fight again
Finished my probation I can light again
Gotta get my money up, pockets on empty
Life is movin' way too fast it almost left me
Who you gon' be when the smoke clears?
Who you gon' see when you have no tears?
Who you gon' help when they fell down?
To anybody I let down, I hope you forgive me I know I'm hell bound
Damn this is what they warned me bout
So much pressure on my shoulders, almost wore me out
2015 wasn't the easiest
Lost a lot of people on the way, this is the realest shit
Best friend ain't here now
Got me bout to shed a tear now
I built up, I can't tear down
If things happen for a reason make it clear now
Got caught with weed, I think I see it now
500 bucks later now it's back to this paper
Back to the people who been waitin' for me, who all been hatin' on me
To all who (*fake whispers*) but never say it to me
I'm here to be the change that you probably need
My knowledge equivalent to a lot of weed
Garden of Happiness got a lot of seeds
A better man is what I gotta be, it's what you gotta see
Don't be me, be you
Be the best you could possibly be, be true
If I ever helped you wit the words that I speak
Thank you for bein' the student I'm happy to teach
Class is in session for the other people
Dedicated to helpin' the helpless
I got a story to tell, I'm hopin' to tell it
I'm just real with myself, and I'm glad that you felt it
