Just Wanna Be Me - Devlin

I just wanna be me

I just wanna be me

Til the day that I’m free

You do you, I’ll do me

I look back now and I can’t explain it

Always knew that i was waiting for greatness

Mum wanted me to work in the slave shift

But I was writing my lyrics in the grave shift

Perfecting the style so amazing I rose through the ranks so quick I was blazing

Sorry to upset you mother but right now I’ve gotta do me.

Time’s wasting

I had a scheme and a dream.

Time that I prove I could stand on my feet

Jab or weave here in the city full of feats and fiends

Life don’t stop, time don’t sleep

I feel like I’m lost

My ears are on fire, they speak

And they all think they know what’s best but…

I just wanna be me

I just wanna be me

Til the day that I’m free

You do you and I’ll do me

They laugh at your vision, make a lasting decision

To let your heart be driven

Like the Batmobile with the Stig in

Keep shit real in the field no fibbin'

Real we can feel cause that’s how we’re living

We’re all different here in Great Britain

So embrace yourself and envision that your skin never left you imprisoned

Be whatever you wanna be man, kill 'em

You’re unlike any other, aim for the sky my brother

Do it your way, this life is a bitch but love her

In the doorway I see the ghost of a soul that I knew last summer

Love to your girl and your kids and your mother

We can’t hold joy without stifer

I just wanna be me

I just wanna be me

Til the day that I’m free

You do you and I’ll do me

They’re like Devs do a grime track, I’m like why, would you like that?

Would you lend me your score if things got raw like before on the floor no

money up in my bank

I didn’t think so mate so let me do me in this life while I wait to right my

mistakes

Wipe these slates everyday is a new blind date

I’m unsure of what I just might face but as long as I’m true to myself what

this path might lead to is fate

I’ll follow this road like that Dorothy girl

Even if the bricks ain’t golden and I bet I do it historically well

I ain’t no big shot in your focus just me in this illogical world

I just wanna be me

I just wanna be me

Til the day that I’m free

You do you and I’ll do me
