Be True to Yourself

Let's take a trip on
 The other side of the land
 With things ain't planned
 For the average man
 You could be a young brother
 Who's rolling
 And be so good
 That you hold him
 Big brain, top brain
 Mister Two-co who got
 All the hoes
 Pushing hard
 To keep from being bound
 'Cause there's always somebody
 Trying to bring you down
 Try to run a scheme
 On what you got
 'Cause what you got
 Them niggas jot
 Women love it
 And brothers hate it
 They just can't stand
 To see you make it
 A girl can be
 Your main downfall
 She don't take half
 The hoe takes all
 Now check to see
 How your cards are dealt
 And stay true to yourself
 Keep cool, little girl
 You got what you deserve
 Don't copycat when
 A rich hoe's splurge
 'Cause you know
 You might break yourself
 Trying to keep up
 With somebody else
 Waiting for the mailman
 To bring you a check
 Money all gone
 Now you're a wreck
 Taking your friends out
 For a big feast
 You wanna treat and
 You don't even eat
 Looking all stupid
 With a messed up grin
 Trying to be nice
 So you can fit in
 Couldn't get your hair done
 Now you're unhappy
 'Cause your head all nappy
 And it's a shame
 You ain't got no money
 Girl, that shit ain't funny
 No friends to cope
 You're dope
 Should been true to yourself
 ♪
 Mom always told me
 There'd be days like this
 On top of all of this bullshit
 Never, ever let
 A young girl make you
 Let alone, a hoe break you
 Being strong in the mind
 Will make you a true
 And make you jack no money
 Make them jack you
 Yo, K, come express how you feel
 Show 'em how to be real
 True, open your eyes and look
 The best friend might be the crook
 You solved the case but you
 Still winded up saying nothing
 Yet, that's your best friend
 Till the end
 Now he in trouble
 Where's the friend
 He left with a hoe
 And you're stuck
 Outta luck, nobody else helps
 You should been true to yourself
 ♪
 Yeah, this shit goes out
 To all them people
 Ain't true to theyself
 Running up behind somebody else
 Following in they shadow
 Get on your own shit, fools
 Stay out the next man nuts
 We out
