| 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
|
