I woke up today, I was thinking I was late
How you gonna learn without mistakes?
I feel like I can't go away yet
They try to act cool, I'm just playing
I know I'll never be picture perfect
But can I be myself, is that okay?
I'm tired of being trapped by it
I gave a wicked piece of myself
Now I'm trying to find peace for myself
At least for myself
I just wanna be myself
In the mirror, wanna see myself
Look, I've been balling like the L .A. Lakers
Running with the majors, but the fouls is flagrant
Now I'm independent, now I'm back to business
Trying to reach the people, they can keep the penance, yeah
Keep the power, keep the structures, be destructive
Peace above us, Jesus love us, and that's my hope
Look, I don't need a big way to sell my boat, for real
I don't need a piece of the pie, I got a piece of the sky
Mess around, give a piece to the guys
And tell the kids I'm teaching the fly, they in the clouds
Like, wow, that look crazy, he's a heck of a guy
I don't know how to stop, clean boy tied it up
Break through the padlock, run like Gallagher
But I ain't playing no games, me and Josh had a talk
Thought I made the right moves, my career not adding up
Met some Christian artists who think they celebrities
I went to three award shows, I fell asleep right in the front row
Why they act like they don't know?
Telling me the features that I flexed at the gun show
This rap thing is overrated, never been a king, no David
You talk about God's guarantee they won't play it
I don't wanna be famous, if that's the cost you can save it
I ain't gonna pay for your playlist, I'm good
Daughter was great until I went down to Hollywood
Always knew that I'd be fine
Yeah, I know God made us one of a kind
Yeah, that's you and I
I woke up today, I was thinking I was late
How you gonna learn without mistakes?
I feel like I can't go away yet
They try to act cool, I'm just playing
I know I'll never be picture perfect
But can I be myself, is that okay?
I'm tired of being trapped, I'm tired of being trapped
I'ma always be myself, I ain't got time to be nobody else
If I listen to everything everyone else said
My life would be a mess, but God said I'm blessed
So I'm gonna claim blessings all my life instead
My Godfather live in water so you know he got bread
Yeah, being different is a superpower
It's not a deficiency for you to cower
I want all of us to repeat after me
I'm me, I'm free, and I'm so happy
I'm living out what they said that I couldn't be
Wouldn't be, shouldn't be, cause I moved a couple things
Every day I thank the Lord for his grace
For the plans that he made for my life
To be great competition with who?
I'm the illest being me
And it's too much life to live to let him ever get to me
I woke up today, I was thinking I was late
How you gonna learn without mistakes?
I feel like I can't go away yet
They try to act cool, I'm just mad at ya
I know I'll never be picture perfect
But can I be myself? Is that okay?
Can I be myself? Is that okay?
Can I be myself? Is that okay?
Can I be myself? Is that okay?
Can I be myself? Is that okay?
Can I be myself? Is that okay?
Can I be myself? Is that okay?
Can I be myself? Is that okay?
