Be Yourself, Pt. 2 (feat. ANKA & Finlae) [Mastered For Vinyl] Video (MV)

Can I just be real for a minute
I found a tone and I think I wanna sit in it
Not tryna be Eminem
Just say something through a different medium
Wrote a song called Be Yourself
Designed to help a special someone with their mental health
Not a lotta people heard it but I wrote it for one
Wasn't just the song but now she's bright as the sun
Recently I've been playing it back
Man it's been a while since I dropped that track
Become and introspect as I normally do
Bout what I'd say if there ever was a part two
That's when I started to turn it on myself
Figured this catharsis is an untapped wealth
I'm sorry if you didn't press play for this
But if you stick with me I'll explain why I just don't give a...

I ask myself
Do I really wanna talk about me
I know the answer
It's not some mystery
The issue isn't tied to who I think I am
Like a first scene where Leo gets caught by Hanks
The issue lies with who I think I should be
Something I couldn't even attain if I waited for part three
So what's a guy to do
The more I sit inside my head the more I'm likely to be screwed
Patience for myself starts to wear thing
Why risk disappointment when it's easier to give in
This is starting to sound so familiar
These are the things I was trying to tell her
So with that in mind
I'm taking my own medicine
And I'm letting the one I wrote for
Be the one to fill my head with it

Just
Just be yourself
Just
Just be yourself
Don't
Don't try to be anybody else
Just
Just be yourself
Just
Just be yourself

Just
Just be yourself
Just
Just be yourself
Just
Just be yourself
Just be yourself

I'm ginger, pasty and covered in freckles
That's right
I've grown up preparing for the hecklers
People always say that you should try and be better
Is that we're a generation of fake trendsetters
I wear more colours than professional wrestlers
But it's cooler if I wear the same ones as Ryan Tedder
I don't even understand the meaning of meta
Maybe I should've put more thought into this setup

Let me tell you a little more about where I come from
I'm Scottish thanks to Dad and I say mum not mom
My dad, I love my dad
He taught me what it means to truly be a man
It's not masculinity, bulk and a killer pad
It's about how to keep people together when life hits the fan
It's not about gross accumulation of wealth
Your greatest asset is to be yourself

Just
Just be yourself
Just
Just be yourself
Don't
Don't try to be anybody else
Just
Just be yourself
Just
Just be yourself

Just
Just be yourself
Just be yourself

Just
Just be yourself
Just
Just be yourself
Don't
Don't try to be anybody else

Now let me hand it over to my brother
Been with me since I started
Always done this for each other
Spent the last few years learning how to drop bombs
'Til late last year we reunited for the summer
That's when we discovered the truth here
That music together can go damn near nuclear
Couldn't trust this to anyone else

Just
Just be yourself
Don't
Don't try to be anybody else

Now listen up
This is my final lesson

JUST BE YOURSELF
JUST BE YOURSELF
JUST BE YOURSELF
JUST BE YOURSELF
JUST BE YOURSELF
JUST BE YOURSELF
JUST BE YOURSELF

JUST BE YOURSELF
JUST BE YOURSELF
JUST BE YOURSELF
JUST BE YOURSELF

Just be yourself
Just be yourself
Just be yourself

Just be your (Bell)
