Be Yourself Lyrics - Taylor Bennett

[Intro: Taylor Bennett] 

That ain't wrong 

That ain't wrong 

In order to touch, you gotta [?] 

Don't break you down, no 

These diamonds take pressure 

Diamonds take pressure 

[Verse: Taylor Bennett] 

I used to look up at the stars and wonder if he's really there 

If he was, why he give me hand-me-downs every year 

Why my momma hate my dad, and why my daddy never here 

Why I got this IEP, and why I can't just be prepared 

Why these teachers laugh at me when I say I'ma be the mayor 

When I say I'm serious, why they smiles don't disappear 

'Cause I ride that CTA, 4.0 ain't my GPA 

My momma was so proud of me, Lisa Bennett not Lisa Ray 

She was scratching lottery tickets, when we gon' see the place 

And on top of that got my first suspension like yesterday 

They know I'm '07 now why these niggas gon' mess with me 

If I got a problem, still call up see Keegan rescue me 

You say hit up Jay for that recipe, now it's rest in peace 

Chano you can rest in peace, Damo you can rest in peace 

Maurice you can rest in peace, got that shit got the best of me 

Used to leave McDonald's with empty bottles and cold gelato 

When it's hot Chicago we movin' like the clutch up off the throttle 

Now it's less McDonald's like models coming from Colorado 

If I painted my story, my canvases [?] follow 

I used stay up late night wanting what I couldn't borrow 

Now it's hello world, hella' yellow girls in my bed [?] 

So much more, hit my dictionary, [?] 

I just had to write this track, goddamn while my stomach hurt 

'Cus we all independent in this bitch and we can fuckin' merch 

Been a while since I've been to church no wonder I'm feellin' cursed 

Wishin' this was '05 back when ain't nobody give a fuck 

Before this Acid Rain dance, and that's when we were good enough 

From playpens to stadiums, that's a lot of growing up 

I just thought I'd open up 'cause that means that it's more to us 

No name-dropping, clout-chasing, ain't the way the tour bus 

I been in a lap clockin' the work without no doctor shirt 

This year wasn't easy, if your dreamin' boy you gotta work 

Thinkin' this shit gotta work, everytime I write a verse 

Workin', workin' workin', workin', workin', that's that Bennett curse 

Dream's worth believing in, scheming, planning an' seizin' 'em 

Used to call me retarded, now all them got [?] 

Salty exes is seasonin', slowin' down on my sodium 

Euphoria's not utopia, stop actin' like you know me bruh 

I knew since birth I was certain that I was sent with a purpose 

While you competin' with crabs in a bucket I'm in the ocean 

It's Taylor Bennett, your superhero, the answer's been spoken 

I told 'em be yourself fast, you gotta scream to the masses 

And niggas still call me faggot, but bitch my shit lookin' fabulous 

You can tell by the back I get mommy's names on the addresses 

You portray with the savages, I invade them, enslave them 

My debt is repaid and [?] shit, I ain't havin' a [?] 

I'm an outstanding Afro-American bisexual havin' shit 

Change your dreams if they average 

If your workplace is adamant, how the fuck it ain't accurate? 

Okay 

I switch lanes for gang gang, and no shame in my job 

And no angles, just angels, who hate what we love 

And we're ages and pages, it's dangerous trust 

And no favorites, just favors, it's neighborly love 

And my savior done made me and saved all of us 

And your savior done made you and saved all of us 

And my savior done made me and saved all of us
