What I Be

[Verse 1]
I wanted to be a millionaire until all the money pilled up
Sealed up, sealed up, now I'm sealed up inside of here
Can you see me, on your TV
Hear me on your radio?
I'm ready to go, back home
I wanted to be soldier, until I saw all the bloodshed
Be alone, I be alone, I wanna be alone, inside of here
'Cuz i've seen too many wars
Photographs of before
And I can't laugh anymore
No, no no, no

[Chorus]
All that I ever wanted, wanted to be
It falls down
At my feet
All that I ever wanted to be was me
So why won't you let me be, why won't you let me be?

[Verse 2]
I wanted to be an astronaut until I was lost in a black void
Wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be beside you girl
What I would give for gravity, is to have you be
Even mad at me
Dada dada dee da da, dada dee da da, dada dee da da eh
I wanted to be a hero, until I saw all the bad guys
Take you down, they wanna take you down, they wanna take you down
Just cause you're good
Yes I would still be
Don't let 'em turn my story around if they
Kill me

[Chorus]
All that I ever wanted, wanted to be
It falls down
At my feet
All that I ever wanted to be was me
So why won't you let me be, why won't you let me be?

[Bridge]
Uh, what I be, walking into arenas
And every night the theme is
Something like partying sold out seats
Nowadays I'm everything that I thought I'd be
Standing at the top and I don't know if there's more to see
Colors changing and falling down like autumn leaves
So many lights I only feel like I can sorta breathe
Fall to my knees with audiences calling me
Out on the stage and all they need is a hero to save the day
When did my idols disappear to when they paved the way?
Change shape under pressure, like they made of clay
I gotta be more than that but how do you handle the burden
When every critic that surrounds you's trying to get a word in?
Person, do you understand that's what I be
And everything you wanted me to be was not me
Now I'm at the top all you wanna do is copy
Feeling like there's nothing anyone could do to stop me

[Chorus]
All that I ever wanted, wanted to be
It falls down
At my feet
All that I've ever wanted to be was me
So why won't you let me be, why won't you let me be?

[Chorus/Outro]
All that I ever wanted, wanted to be
It falls down
At my feet
All that I've ever wanted to be was me
So why won't you let me be, why won't you let me be?
