Rather Be Myself (Explicit)

Rather Be Myself (Explicit) - Russ

Lyrics by：Russell Vitale

Composed by：Russell Vitale

Yeah

Shoutout Jake One

Shoutout Jake One

I'm glad I'm me

I'm glad I'm me

Yeah

Lotta fake s**t goin' on

Yeah I could choose to play along

But I'd rather be myself yeah

I could try to be like them

Probably get further ahead

But I'd rather be myself yeah

People sellin' out for fame

Or for dollars and some change

But I'd rather be myself yeah

Now I'd be lyin' if I said

It never crossed my mind

But check man

I'd rather be myself

For real yeah yeah

I play forever dawg

I'm focused on longevity

And not care about who's ahead of me 'cause

Comparison is the recipe for depression

And questionin' your integrity

Hope I don't let it get to me but

Some days are easier than others true

Caught up in the numbers

Make your greedier than others

So I try to just detach

Before my ego gets attacked

And starts to plan out its response

And do some s**t I can't take back

Lotta fake s**t goin' on

Yeah I could choose to play along

But I'd rather be myself yeah

I could try to be like them

Probably get further ahead

But I'd rather be myself yeah

People sellin' out for fame

Or for dollars and some change

But I'd rather be myself yeah

Now I'd be lyin' if I said

It never crossed my mind

But check man

I'd rather be myself for real

Yeah don't wanna compromise

Even if it's

Even if nobody knows

I gotta face my momma I

Don't want the accomplishments

If it's via fraudulous

Can't even be proud of that

Tell 'em how you got the s**t

Yeah different language

We not speakin' the same we not

Couple million for my soul

That's not an even exchange

My soul don't shine when I hear it

You not fly if Spirit

I don't care about the look

It don't align with my spirit

Lotta fake s**t goin' on

Yeah I could choose to play along

But I'd rather be myself yeah

I could try to be like them

Probably get further ahead

But I'd rather be myself yeah

People sellin' out for fame

Or for dollars and some change

But I'd rather be myself yeah

Now I'd be lyin' if I said

It never crossed my mind

But check man

I'd rather be myself for real

Yeah don't wanna compromise

Even if it's

Even if nobody knows

I gotta face my momma I

Don't want the accomplishments

If it's via fraudulous

Can't even be proud of that

Tell 'em how you got the s**t
