I'm the someone that's talking a lot
Once I get started don't stop
I could be gone in a drop
Grown man in Cookie Monster socks
Yeah I gotta be me
Keep my obsession compulsed
So I can wake with a pulse
Hair barely composed
Doing the most putting crowns on skulls
I gotta be me
In my mind should be likely to blow
Don't have the highest of hopes
Just put it all in a quote
Talent or just something undiagnosed
I gotta be me
Young in the heart wise in the de la soul
Temper is hot but the knees
Still clocking old cold
I gotta be me
I gotta be I gotta be
I gotta be I gotta be
I gotta be I gotta be
I gotta be I gotta be
Day job work always under in pay
Begging my son just to play
Yahtzee or something today
Who rocks a tie on f*cking laundry day
Hey I gotta be me
Pizza and sushi is fine
I'm more vodka than wine
Dumb early on time
Up at 4:00 and in bed by 9:00
I gotta be me
I could really just go for some Thai
Slightly obsessed with the time
I love it don't get it It's fine
Social but I'll probably decline Umm respectfully
I gotta be me Sarcasm is law
I can't help it all Leave a joke in the open
I'm going in for the jaw
I gotta be me
I gotta be I gotta be
I gotta be I gotta be
I gotta be I gotta be
I gotta be I gotta be
I'm either gonna be bored be asleep or keep score
Either if and always never never not the and/or
Keep a never ending story in the sock drawer
Falkor in the heat of the moment
I'm up in it what I work for
No matter the rewrite always part of the folklore
Keep it poppin 808's with every step for the parkour
On course for the par rough pace at a slow pour
Life is what I make it turn signal for detour
I win by not winning them all, no checkmating
A+ from the gift of applause or head shaking
Do me to set paths, seek growth, stress hatred
For those fighting through abuse, misgendering, dead naming
To be them, who have the right to be proud and not vanish
Young me outcast half Rican with no Spanish
All me, all damaged glazed gesso upon the canvas
Painted poem pawing pain pushing passion, my own planet
I gotta be I gotta be
I gotta be I gotta be
I gotta be I gotta be
I gotta be I gotta be
