lyrics

Being Me Is The SH** (unedited version)
-parental discretion advised-


I’ve seen a lot of cool cats N my time
caught some sweet rhymes
checked some fine dimes
slip away with lames
wondering Y it wasn’t like that 4 me
I’ve seen it as a crime
as I’ve been passed over 4 this or that
time after time
guys doing grimy shit
getting all the benefits
nickel & dime niggas
living million dollar lives
while in the meantime
I lived the old paradigm
of nice guys finishing behind
But it’s cool
By the time it’s bedtime
digested daily doses of bullshit
with powerful mental enzymes
thanked God 4 his blessings
& drifted off 4 dreamtime
I know that everything is as cool
as the sunshine on the shoreline
in the summertime on a breezy afternoon
Despite living in this cesspit
of hypocrites, pulpit pimps, and presidential nitwits
I must admit being me
is the shit

I love being just who I am
Damn the rest
God made me the best
Living this life w/ fire and grit
Being me is the shit

I thank God everyday
4 blessing me 2 live another day
Doing things my way
Using this wordplay
like my sensei’s swordplay
Not conceited
But I won’t downplay my divinity
4 some1 else’s comfortability

My DNA is that of royalty
so I got every reason 2 B happy
Life is my forte
making me ready
2 get any day underway
But that’s how U do
when U recognize
that U R as powerful as any sunray
I shape my own payday
which can happen all 2 infrequently
This word is 4 the people
so I continue 2 spit
cuz being me is the shit

* chorus *

*bridge*
I’m the little legged muthafucka
Nationalistic supa brotha
movin all the people furtha
2 burn this system down

Ain’t neva been afraid of being me
Used my nationality 2 set me free
descended of those from the bottom of the sea
Not 2 ghetto
Not 2 bougie
Being me is the shit

*repeat*

The doors of the Church of the Funky Soul
R now open
U ain’t got 2 B N the choir
2 sit in this pulpit
This outfit is 4 the spiritually legit
the halfwits, tight-knits, & dimwits alike
Only the counterfeit clones R unfit
2 kick it here
We don’t want them 2 transmit
any of that negativity
2 our soon 2 B close knit family
But don’t trip
We’ve got a place 4 U 2
If U submit 2 the Divine voice Nside of U
Commit yourself 2 the knowledge
that the Creator made U perfect
Don’t allow any culprit 2 convince U
that your self love is narcissistic
rather than simple healthy and realistic
Embrace your own spirit
& admit
being the best U that U can B
has its benefits

Look em dead N the eye
& say it adamant
I LOVE MYSELF
I'M LIKE NO ONE ELSE
Being me is the SHIT!
