BE YOURSELF

That aint wrong
That aint wrong
In order to touch, you gotta got
Dont break you down, no
These diamonds take pressure
Diamonds take pressure
I used to look up at the stars and wonder if hes really there
If he was, why he give me hand-me-downs every year
Why my momma hate my dad, and why my daddy never here
Why I got this IEP, and why I cant just be prepared
Why these teachers laugh at me when I say Ima be the mayor
When I say Im serious, why they smiles dont disappear
Cause I ride that CTA, 4.0 aint my GPA
My momma was so proud of me, Lisa Bennett not Lisa Ray
She was scratching lottery tickets, when we gon see the place
And on top of that got my first suspension like yesterday
They know Im 07 now why these ****** gon mess with me
If I got a problem, still call up see Keegan rescue me
You say hit up Jay for that recipe, now its rest in peace
Chano you can rest in peace, Damo you can rest in peace
Maurice you can rest in peace, got that s**t got the best of me
Used to leave McDonalds with empty bottles and cold gelato
When its hot Chicago we movin like the clutch up off the throttle
Now its less McDonalds like models coming from Colorado
If I painted my story, my canvases already could follow
I used stay up late night wanting what I couldnt borrow
Now its hello world, hella yellow girls in my bed and twerk
So much more, hit my dictionary, clear for
I just had to write this track, goddamn while my stomach hurt
Cus we all independent in this ***** and we can ****in merch
Been a while since Ive been to church no wonder Im feellin cursed
Wishin this was 05 back when aint nobody give a ****
Before this Acid Rain dance, and thats when we were good enough
From playpens to stadiums, thats a lot of growing up
I just thought Id open up cause that means that its more to us
No name-dropping, clout-chasing, aint the way the tour bus
I been in a lap clockin the work without no doctor shirt
This year wasnt easy, if your dreamin boy you gotta work
Thinkin this s**t gotta work, everytime I write a verse
Workin, workin workin, workin, workin, thats that Bennett curse
Dreams worth believing in, scheming, planning an seizin em
Used to call me retarded, now all them got em Vs
Im Salty exes is seasonin, slowin down on my sodium
Euphorias not utopia, stop actin like you know me bruh
I knew since birth I was certain that I was sent with a purpose
While you competin with crabs in a bucket Im in the ocean
Its Taylor Bennett, your superhero, the answers been spoken
I told em be yourself fast, you gotta scream to the masses
And ****** still call me f****t, but ***** my s**t lookin fabulous
You can tell by the back I get mommys names on the addresses
You portray with the savages, I invade them, enslave them
My debt is repaid and bless s**t, I aint havin it carefully
Im an outstanding Afro-American *****ual havin s **t
Change your dreams if they average
If your workplace is adamant, how the **** it aint accurate?
Okay
I switch lanes for gang gang, and no shame in my job
And no angles, just angels, who hate what we love
And were ages and pages, its dangerous trust
And no favorites, just favors, its neighborly love
And my savior done made me and saved all of us
And your savior done made you and saved all of us
And my savior done made me and saved all of us
You know, deep down
Were all our own kind
You know, diamonds take pressure
Diamonds take pressure
Deep down, were all our own kind
You know, diamonds take pressure
Diamonds take pressure
Deep down, were all a gold mine
You know, diamonds take pressure
Diamonds take pressure
Deep down, youre a gold mine
You know, diamonds take pressure
Diamonds take pressure
Deep down, youre a gold mine
You know, diamonds take pressure
Diamonds take pressure
Deep down, youre a gold mine
You know, diamonds take pressure
Diamonds take pressure
