I've Gotta Be Me

[Verse 1]

Introducing the L

Young black female from Brumtown

I’m a queen

Where is my throne

Gimme a crown

Said I can't do it every barrier I tore down

I’m the answer, no second guesses

I wear what I want I barely wear dresses

I’ve been like this way before adolescence

I turned all my no’s into yes’s

And like a boss, I stood my ground

Yeah I’m proud

I’ll scream it loud

They knocked me down

So what did I do

I stood back up

I took my chance

Pushed my luck

I’m living proof

You can come back up

And the whole time I’ve been here I’ve been myself

The whole time I’ve been here I’ve been myself

Imma be me

Can’t be no one else

From the window to the wall

[Chorus]

I gotta be me

I gotta be me

The dream that I see makes me what I am

I gotta be free

I gotta be free

Daring to try, to do it or die

I gotta be me

[Verse 2]

I won’t settle for less

Seatbelt on I’m driving to success

The journeys been long the ride is never ending

I’m trying to get to my destination it’s been stress

I gotta be me

I gotta be me

Who want it with Lesh

I gotta unleash

I want to live not merely survive

Wishing on a dream can barely keep me alive

[Chorus]

And the whole time I’ve been here I’ve been myself

The whole time I’ve been here I’ve been myself

Imma be me

Can’t be no one else

From the window to the wall

[Chorus]
