When I was young I used to struggle with my ego
I was a loner so I didn't have amigos
I used to hit the gym and try to get real swolle
Even grew a lot of hair and thought about some cornrows
I saw myself as one big flaw
From my feet all the way up to my nappy fro
And it made me feel low
So I tried to be somebody else for everyone's approval, yep
I thank God that eventually
I got a stronger hold on all my insecurities
And on the real can't nobody be
A better me than I can be of me you see
I try to love the way that I was made and what I see
In the mirror every day and feed my self-esteem
And I repeat this chorus loudly
So come on sing it with me on the count of three
I'ma be me
Life is full of bumps and bruises
But the pain is never useless
Even when it knocks me to the floor
And I used to make excuses
For all my failures and my falls
But every time that I get up I learn a little bit more
I know that shortcomings happen and they're never planned
But I also know deep in my heart a failure isn't what I am
I'm gonna keep pushin' cause there's no other option I can see
And when I succeed, I'll still be able to say confidently
I'ma be me
I remember when I wasn't tryin' to play tough
Hangin' with old souls and buyin' Now n' Laters
Braided up cornrows as sharp as a razor
Look how she raised her
Gettin' in tune with them haters
I ain't care about fittin' in
My mind back then
Wasn't focused on new rims
Or big black Benz
Try and stand out
Make it big without a hand out
Startin' to care now, about those no longer friends now
Hopped off the bandwagon
No longer intrigued by pants saggin'
I wanna be known, my friends braggin
Bout how I went from nothin' to somethin'
Not focused on materialistic assumptions
My minds the truth out the bunch
And I'm just tryin' to be a better me
Focused on shows and sellin' seats
My dreams bigger than reality
Stay mad at me
Cause I'm actually doin' what I said that I was pursuin'
Since a youngin' back when I was a student
I'm the movement
