True to Yourself


Be true, be real, just be you.

I mean sure there’ll be fakes who bully you,

I’m myself and next thing I know

I’m being called a freak, but I don’t care cause I'm me

Just be you

Be true to yourself

Love and kindness is what you give

Don't forget be true-ue-ue

All I need is you by my side.

I've been called freak and monkey too,

I'll be there for you cause I know how it feels.

Don't forget that it's true

Just be you

I'm tired of sittin’ down

Let me go, I need to stand

I need to be free

I need to find myself

I want to be me

Never forget just be you

Be true to yourself that's all I say.
