SaulPaul - I Can Only Be Me lyrics

HOOK [SaulPaul] Lord, I tried hard (but still I fail) So far, so short (and now I know) One thing for sure I Can Only Be Me (I Can Only Be Me) Lord, I tried hard (but still I fail) So far, so short (and now I know) One thing for sure I Can Only Be Me (I Can Only Be Me) VERSE 1 [SaulPaul] I was born with a purpose but I'm nervous Cause I could still fail So I'm posted on the curb here Steady serving, grinding getting this mail I ain't scared of jail But it seems I'm afraid to bare My soul and expose myself and live life free without a care But I know it's a cost that I got to pay if I desire to live my dream So I tell it like it is through my tears to my peers rather than how it seems Thus I've been free from violent dreams and silent screams I realize, I can only be me, a born again G, that ride for the king HOOK VERSE 2 [SaulPaul] My destiny is so clear to me Problems ain't nothing but therapy Prepared for me if I care to be What God spoke and shared with me See he was there for me, cared for me Plotted my course carefully And dared a “G” to be a blessing be Weather the storm and then rest in peace Bad weathers the norm It stay stressing me I understand he's just testing me I'm trying to be a gangster of where the lesson be Get to the other side where the blessing be My problems would have crushed a lesser “G” But I'm to real to let them get the best of me I recognize God want the best of me And He got to be a gambler if he invest in me And if the odds are against me he gets a better return The way that I'm built it's just the better I learn I think it makes sense just to wait my turn Cause the games on tilt to many players with perms So I'm holding it true Holding it down till he make it do what it do It's life then afterlife in a penthouse view And the latter right now We got to make the right moves BRIDGE [SaulPaul] If I knew what I now know (ey ooh) Maybe five years ago (ey ooh) I'd be so far though (ey ooh) But I can only be me But since I got no time machine (machine) Right now must be the time for me (for me) If not, I still believe (believe) ‘Cause I can only be me It goes down right now, now, now, now It goes down right now, now, now, now It goes down right now, now, now, now If your minds right then you shine right now, now It goes down right now, now, now, now It goes down right now, now, now, now It goes down right now, now, now, now If your mind right then you shine right now, now
