True to Myself - Eric Benét

Everybody wants to rise above

Without a touch of dignity

Without a stroke of love

Take a little time and check yourself

To live the life you’re praying for

Just be true to yourself

Everybody wants to be your friend

If you got a dime to lend

You never really matter in the end to them

That’s why

I’m true to myself ya’ll

I’m true to my family

And love with a true integrity

I’m true to myself ya’ll

True to my God above

And love with a true integrity

Everybody wants a piece of you and me To be the victim of their greed

Or co-dependency

It’s so very hard to know

Which way to go

A lie can be the gospel truth

If eloquently told

Everybody wants to make amends

If they can see another win

You never really matter in the end to them

That’s why

Some people live their whole life

And they’ll never see

The only way to find true happiness

Is to thine own self be True to yourself y’all

Got to live your life for you, yeah

All you gotta do, well

Is be true to yourself, well

I’m true to myself, y’all

I’m true to my little baby girl

I got to be true, oh yeah
