Lyrics Gonna Be Me - Rules Man

Ever been in situations where you had to be the first
In a world where being creative is a different kinda test
Where it's even blasphemy to be a master of your fate
People giving you a key to only open one gate
Same gate they couldn't open that is why i'm in this place
Some patterns where we not allowed to use our fucken brains
Where these people try'na force us to embrace all their beliefs
If you even try to question they gonn call you a disgrace
But for me, I don't like the status quo
If it ain't better I am gonna stand up tell you so
Say you know better though
You should know to let me learn
Why you tryna force things
Tryna make me what i'm not what i'm not

Like why the hell I couldn't be myself
Try'na be somebody I will never be
Making others happy while i'm hurting myself
Now it's over yeah let me focus on me
Like why the hell I couldn't be myself
Try'na be somebody I will never be
Making others happy while i'm hurting myself
Now it's over yeah let me focus on me

Cause i'm gonna be, gonna be me
Gonna be me, man i'm gonna be me
Cause i'm gonna be, gonna be me
Gonna be me, man i'm gonna be me

It's a tough life that we living these days
We been falling behind but ain't tryna win a race
We just tryna get bread so the family can eat
No work in the hood everything is a scam
Cause we living with imposters pretending that they pastors
Acting like they righteous they judge and no forgiveness
Wrote this like a theses they are the antithesis
What the book is preaching they claiming and they reaching
Instead of enriching the mind and the soul
Got me feeling like a slave when I could be an uncle Steve
Cause they like to deceive and receive but don't give
People say one thing then they do the opposite
You excited make a promise I am only gonn observe
Because when the feeling gone you gonn come to your sense
Then when you get mad you say things you gonn regret
People lack the control they ain't got discipline
I used to be like that but now i'm tryna change
I am changing for the best that's the only way to grow
Don't you ever be a child in a 40 year old body
Don't you ever be a child in a 40 year old body man

Cause i'm gonna be, gonna be me
Gonna be me, man i'm gonna be me
Cause i'm gonna be, gonna be me
Gonna be me, man i'm gonna be me

Right now you may be feeling lost
You may be feeling depressed
I feel the same way sometimes
But we not letting the negative energy win
We taking control
Even though our dreams got delayed
We still gonn fight, we still gonn keep moving
Cause you gotta be yourself
Gotta find yourself, gotta find yourself
Gotta find the God within you
Gotta find the deity within you
Then you can take control
It's a tough life
But you got this bro

Cause i'm gonna be, gonna be me
Gonna be me, man i'm gonna be me
Cause i'm gonna be, gonna be me
Gonna be me, man i'm gonna be me
