Big Hush - Gotta Be Me

Chorus:

I know I've gotta be
Just me, just me, just gotta be me
And so I'm gonna be
Just me, just me, just gotta be me


Verse1

when I dig inside of my chest
when I go get lost in my mind
I find myself just replayin 
all my best times in rewind
I got my health and it's fine 
I got my ride and my clothes
I got my paycheck, some shelter
And a little rainy day dough
But still I feel empty though
When I've got nobody to share it
I'm out here lookin for love
Is somebody willin to spare it?
From the deepest depth down in Texas
I share my thinkin and views
Feelin restless and shruggin
Seems like there's nothin to lose
But I keep my head above water
Eventhough it's harder to float
And the more I live, the more I give
Leavin me less to take home
Never been that deep on the surface
Never let too many get in
But still I slipped on some of those
And they tore me up from within
So then I restart and begin
Fallin right back down to square one
Can't help but feelin like all these chances
Were never ever fair ones
Keepin my stance and I hold 
While my demons stand on my back
Try to get my attention from me
But see I'm never turnin back and so....

Verse 2

I was raised on morals and values
I know what's right and what's wrong
I put surprise in the eyes of my family
When I'm writin these songs
But I keep from crossin those lines
And I contradict expectations
Eventhough my lifestyle and my mindframe
Don't fit rap math equations
Nevertheless I keep on doin
What you guessed I'd never be doin
Got some fans and they're accruin
Everyday and that can't be ruined
Understand what I'm talkin bout
And the puzzle will come together
Don't be, shielded by punchlines
I take pride in just being clever
No I don't act tough
No I don't act hard
The loudest one in the room
Is just the weakest facade
Hat and no cattle, anyday of the week I'll stand up
Put it down on the table in front of ya
While you huff and you puff
If you see me start somethin up
Then you know it's somethin I'll finish
I gotta be strong without spinach
Matter fact I'm anti-diminish
I swallow my pride to replenish
That just comes with the territory
Ever battle doesn't end in glory
And every man has a different story so...

Verse 3

When I think about who I am
All I get is empty conclusions
All the schoolin that I've been doin
Is causin only illusions
How the hell will I ever know
What direction I'm gonna go 
When the piece of paper that's framed
Is only up there for the show
Gotta keep a grip on this life
Otherwise I'm just gonna lose it
Through all the people that see my ego
And just wanna bruise it
Wanna punch the suckers that got it
So easy spoiled and just rotten
Takin for granted what their handed
And the things that they've gotten
I'm breakin my back for the dough stack
I'm livin on scraps to get by
Gotta maintain all my morale
So that's when I write all these rhymes
Put it all on ryhtmn and drums
This music equals my rum
Takes all the pain away
And lets me just get lost in a song
With a record of  being quiet
and a history of depression
All those things that I'll be feelin
Won't be displayed in expression
Until I get near a mic
And a pen is held in my hand
And that's when the flow starts flowin
And I'll express who I am.....
