Hoodie Allen - Let me be me

Started out in Brooklyn back in '96
When the nets were still in Jersey, but we love the mix
I didn't grow up in a family that hugged and kissed
But don't say they didn't love their kids
We ain't some republicans
And all I wanted was a pool in my backyard
They said we couldn't have fun, didn't have jobs
They said we couldn't pay rent, cutting slack off
Clean, pack up and take the vacation at a ??
Got a private education with a future going as sass cats
Even tried to duck the bill, collector on some affect
They got rich guys named Garfield, that's fat cats, that's fat cats
Sammy, Frank and Dean I got my rap pack, my rap pack
So don't worry about my accent, you live your life in paste tense
You know some girls, y'all just friends, I know some girls, we have sex
And we all know girls that do drugs and we all know girls that just want
But I know they waiting for me when I come home

Hook:
I don't wanna be a legend, no
I just wanna get to having, oh
I just wanna do me right now
Wanna do me right now
I don't wanna be a killer, no
I just wanna keep it realer, oh
I just wanna do me right now
Wanna do me right now
Let me be me.

They tell me make it out my home before it's too late
Love my mom and dad but I don't want them as a roommate
Got a kitchen full of food and liquor like I'm Lou baby
I fake as fuck like toupee so I see the world in blue-ray
High definition, I'm a TiVo addict
I wanna save the moment and show you I'm devoted
Preach, I'm on my knees like I tea boated
I'm just a young kid celebrating like we loaded
So pardon the following interruption from this rap shit
I'm just tryina make a million dollars of my passion
That's it, guys call me coach now, girls call me captain
Feeling like Van Gundy ‘cause my team was fucking magic
But back when I ain't had shit, no food up in my cabinets
They just try to slow me down but I won't play in traffic
Now I'm past it, ain't a beauty contest or a pageant
But I got these people flipping like gymnastics


Hook:
I don't wanna be a legend, no
I just wanna get to having, oh
I just wanna do me right now
Wanna do me right now
I don't wanna be a killer, no
I just wanna keep it realer, oh
I just wanna do me right now
Wanna do me right now
Let me be me.

So let me fly away, making my mistakes
It's harder to stay all in the same place
You never say you're gonna change
Oh, let me float away to cover for my way
‘Cause all my mistakes don't have to stay
I'm doing all that I can, don't let it fail

Hook:
I don't wanna be a legend, no
I just wanna get to having, oh
I just wanna do me right now
Wanna do me right now
I don't wanna be a killer, no
I just wanna keep it realer, oh
I just wanna do me right now
Wanna do me right now
Let me be me.


Nah man, mad people was running
Oh, man, made something from nothing
Made something from nothing
Made something from nothing
Nah man, mad people was running
Oh, man, made something from nothing
Made something from nothing
Nah man, mad people was running
Oh, man, made something from nothing
