Yeah

Shoutout Jake One (Shoutout Jake One)

I'm glad I'm me (I'm glad I'm me)

Yeah

Lotta fake shit 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 mysеlf (For real, yeah, yeah)

I play forеver 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 shit I can't take back

Lotta fake shit 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 popularized

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 shit

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 they steer it

I don't care about the look, it don't align with my spirit

Lotta fake shit 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 popularized

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 shit
