Grabbing my heart and my soul
Been grinding for years just despite all that knows
I was born to lead, born to lead the way
To show every dreamer that you’ll get there one day
It’s a cold world and I know it
I crush it off of my shoulder
What’s up with all of this hatin?
I’m here just to escape it
Be proud to be yourself, live for nobody else
And never forget just who you are
I’m proud to just be me, I’m proud to just be free
I’m livin for the moment cos the life ain’t guaranteed
And everywhere I go these people wanna know
Just who I am and what I’m bout so I’mma let em know
I’m proud to just be me…
I’m proud to just be me…
And everywhere I go these people wanna know
Just who I am and what I’m bout so I’mma let em know
I’m proud to just be me
Blood, sweat and tears all I got
My heart on my sleeve, they can say what they want
I was born to flood, born to inspire
And show em you can be just who you are
It’s a cold world and I know it
I crush it off of my shoulder
What’s up with all of this hatin?
I’m here just to escape it
Be proud to be yourself, live for nobody else
And never forget just who you are
I’m proud to just be me, I’m proud to just be free
I’m livin for the moment cos the life ain’t guaranteed
And everywhere I go these people wanna know
Just who I am and what I’m bout so I’mma let em know
I’m proud to just be me…
I’m proud to just be me…
And everywhere I go these people wanna know
Just who I am and what I’m bout so I’mma let em know
I’m proud to just be me
I’m proud to just be me
And everywhere I go these people wanna know
Just who I am and what I’m bout so I’mma let em know
I’m proud to just be me…
And everywhere I go…
I’m proud to just be me, I’m proud to just be free
I’m livin for the moment cos the life ain’t guaranteed
And everywhere I go these people wanna know
Just who I am and what I’m bout so I’mma let em know
I’m proud to just be me…
I’m proud to just be me…
And everywhere I go these people wanna know
Just who I am and what I’m bout so I’mma let em know
I’m proud to just be me
