Lyrics

Be Yourself

[Intro]

Gotta be bigger issues

Your self esteem got a issue

Your daddy a pimp, I know he proud of you

Takin' off your clothes to get your revenue

[Chorus]

Who said you can't be yourself?

Why you afraid of yourself?

Who said you can't be yourself?

Why you afraid of yourself?

FreeBandz!

[Verse 1]

Too much makeup in the mirror, girl

You been at it all day

We done toured with em, we done talked to em, and they all gang

Trap King, I been nominated to the Hall of Fame

A Swiss account and a Spanish poodle got the same name

Gotta top me off in the Valet, suck it sideways

Her momma left her in the bando at a young age

She had foster care, kid group homes, she like to runaway

I know you hate to be told what to do cause you self-made

[Bridge]

Bilingual, bilingual, bilingual

You goin' home with a bag of singles

Mamacita, ‘macita, ‘macita, ‘macita

Come and get these Franklins like Aretha!

[Chorus]

Who said you can't be yourself?

Why you afraid of yourself?

Who said you can't be yourself?

Why you afraid of yourself? (FreeBandz!)

Who said you can't be yourself? (Ooh)

Who said you can't be yourself? (Ooh)

Penetration, can you take it?

[Verse 2]

Too much money in the closet, girl I gotta switch safe

Change the tail number to the flight, girl I gotta switch planes

I seen a triple homi' on the news, they was in the wrong place

I ain't giving up on you, but we gotta take a break

Fishtailin' out the parkin' lot, I'm on acid

I was raised up on pork & bean no catfish

I need a prenup if you the wifey

I know your true love is making money

[Bridge]

Bilingual, bilingual, bilingual

You goin' home with a bag of singles

Mamacita, ‘macita, ‘macita, ‘macita

Come and get these Franklins like Aretha!

[Chorus]

Who said you can't be yourself?

Why you afraid of yourself?

Who said you can't be yourself?

Why you afraid of yourself?

Who said you can't be yourself? (FreeBandz Ooh)

Who said you can't be yourself? (Ooh)

[Outro]

Gotta be bigger issues

Your self esteem got a issue

Your daddy a pimp, I know he proud of you

Takin' off your clothes to get your revenue
