True to Myself

Everybody wants to rise above
 Without a touch of dignity
 Without a stroke of love
 Take a little time, 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 y'all
 I'm true to my family
 And love with a true integrity
 I'm true to myself y'all
 I'm 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
 I'm true to myself y'all
 I'm true to my family
 And love with a true integrity
 I'm true to myself y'all
 I'm true to my man above
 And love with a true integrity
 Some people live their whole life
 And 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
 I'm true to myself y'all
 I'm true to my family
 And love with a true integrity
 I'm true to myself y'all
 I'm true to my God above
 And love with a true integrity
 I'm true to myself y'all
 I'm true to my God above
 And love with a true integrity
 I'm true to myself, y'all
 I'm true to my little baby girl
 I'm true to myself y'all
 I'm true to my family
 And love with a true integrity
 I'm true to myself y'all
 I'm true to my God above
 I'm true
