letra de be me - marinate
[verse 1: ajani nanabuluku]
i don’t really i don’t really i don’t really i don’t really give a (d-mn)
about any man, woman, child thinking they can tell me who i am
individuality is in why can’t everybody just understand
on what it means to be yourself n-body else you get the plan
feeling like yoda and anakin and ahsoka and jar jar we living in a world full of clones
and it really got a brother feeling so alone even when he chilling amongst his own
coming home seeing how nothing’s changed but you changed
so apparently that’s strange
like you was doing for nothing all this maturing and moving just to be one in the same
i just can’t put in words how i feel just to say i’m happy
to be me all this gut all this lack of height all this nappy
really tried to make me hate myself but i break through all that hating well
you the type to really hate on a (n-gg-) practicing self-love then go to h-ll
but i ain’t tryna condemn (n-gg-s) i’m just in it for the peace
for any brother that looked in the mirror couldn’t see themselves in a good light think they better off deceased (geez!)
we ain’t about that life
show that little boy that inside there’s a light
shine so bright man the sun going blind
and the moon couldn’t stay it’s a bright midnight
[chorus: marinate]
you can never ever tell me, how to care of my own g
you can never ever tell me, how to care of my homies
you can never ever tell me, you just cannot understand
never tell me how to be a man, han han
even if i shed a tear, that doesn’t make me no lesser
even if you acting hard, that doesn’t make you no better
you can never ever tell me, you just cannot understand
never tell me how to be a man
[verse 2: josh marks]
i can’t really, i can’t really, i can’t act like i give a (f-ck)
bout anybody that’s gon doubt me, how about we
see how you match up with josh, can’t take a loss
i’m good brushing dirt off, fell eight times
applied a band aid to my knee, stood up nine
saw the sunshine
negativity can’t take me to where i don’t need to be
i need to see, more originality
these clones destroying the essence, like
burning magazines
i have to see
my name in big lights on the garden, like i’m a starting athlete
here’s a message to anybody that’s thinking could tell me how to be me:
dawg you can’t
i am stuck in my ways
y’all waves is overplayed
i ain’t never gon’ drown, no water is too deep
found gold in my soul, my worth has been known
i ain’t ever getting sold, freedom ain’t cheap
boy i’m rich with self-belief
old friends tell me that i changed, well i ain’t staying the same
i’m making strides, you (n-gg-s) stuck in one lane
tunnel vision on a mission to get bucks and chains
it ain’t hard tell the difference ‘tween soul and a gimmick
it ain’t hard to distinguish all the pain from the wins
i failed time and again, i never caved in
i kept my pivot
if you ain’t never gave my (sh-t) a listen, well
i ain’t tripping
i promise you’ve been forgiven
i promise that imma get it
i promise that i won’t cut a percentage unless you was there from the start
and you gon ride to the ending
i promise imma feed my fam
i promise when it’s all said and done, imma be my own man
king
[bridge: paul duhe]
ooooh child, i know things seem hard right now
you gotta reach out for the clouds
don’t try to fit in (f-ck) the crowd—owddd
oooooh child, don’t worry its okay to cry
if you need a hug i’m by ya side
and push the box they try to fit us inside, ideeeee
[chorus: marinate]
you can never ever tell me, how to care of my own g
you can never ever tell me, how to care of my homies
you can never ever tell me, you just cannot understand
never tell me how to be a man, han han
even if i shed a tear, that doesn’t make me no lesser
even if you acting hard, that doesn’t make you no better
you can never ever tell me, you just cannot understand
never tell me how to be a man
you can never ever tell me, how to care of my own g
you can never ever tell me, how to care of my homies
you can never ever tell me, you just cannot understand
never tell me how to be a man, han han
even if i shed a tear, that doesn’t make me no lesser
even if you acting hard , that doesn’t make you no better
you can never ever tell me, you just cannot understand
never tell me how to be a man
