Hoodie Allen - Let Me Be Me Lyrics
(Verse)Started out in Brooklyn back in '96When the nets were still in jersey but we loved the KnicksI didn’t grow up in a family that hugged and kissedBut ain't sayin they didn’t love they kids we ain't some republicansAnd all I wanted was a pool in my back yardThey say we couldn’t have fun, didn’t have jobsThey say we couldn't pay rent couldn't slack offCouldn't pack up and take the vacation out in NassauGot a private education with the future goin sass catsEven tried to duck the bill collector on some AflacThey got rich stacks named Garfield that’s fat cats fat catsSend me frank and dean I got my rap pack rap packSo don’t worry bout my accentYou life your life in past tenseYou know some girls you best friendsI know some girls we have sexAnd we all know girls that do drugsAnd we all know girls that just won'tBut I know they waiting for me when I come home(Hook)I don’t wanna be a legendI just wanna get to heavenI just wanna do me right nowWanna do me right nowI don’t wanna be a killer, noI just wanna keep it real-a ohI just wanna do me right nowWanna do me right nowLet me be me(Verse)They say make it out my home before it’s too lateLove my mom and dad but I don’t want em as a roommateGot a kitchen fulla food and liquor like I’m LupeBut y’all fake as ***** like toupees, So I see the world in blu rayHigh Definition, I'mma Tivo itI wanna save the moment and show that I’m devotedPreach, I’m on my knees like I Tebowed itI’m just a young kid celebrating like reloadedSo pardon the following interruption from this rap shitI’m just tryin to make a million dollars off my passionThat’s itGuys call me coach now, girls call me captianFeelin like Van Dungy cause my team was *****in MagicBut back when I ain't had shit, no food up in my cabinetsThey just try to slow me down but I won't play in trafficGot passed it, ain't a beauty contest or a pageantBut I got these kids flippin like gymnastics(Hook)I don’t wanna be a legendI just wanna get to heavenI just wanna do me right nowWanna do me right nowI don’t wanna be a killer, noI just wanna keep it real-a ohI just wanna do me right nowWanna do me right nowLet me be me(Bridge)So let me fly awayMakin my mistakesIts harder to stay all in the same placeYou never say you’re gonna changeLet me float away let go of my weightCause all my mistakes don’t have to stayDoin all that I can don’t let it fade(Hook)I don’t wanna be a legendI just wanna get to heavenI just wanna do me right nowWanna do me right nowI don’t wanna be a killer, noI just wanna keep it real-a ohI just wanna do me right nowWanna do me right nowLet me be me
