I'm Gonna Be a Rich Man - The Foundations

Ever been in situations where you had to be the first In a world where being creative is a different kinda test Where it's even blasphemy to be a master of your fate People giving you a key to only open one gate Same gate they couldn't open that is why i'm in this place Some patterns where we not allowed to use our fucken brains Where these people try'na force us to embrace all their beliefs If you even try to question they gonn call you a disgrace But for me, I don't like the status quo If it ain't better I am gonna stand up tell you so Say you know better though You should know to let me learn Why you tryna force things Tryna make me what i'm not what i'm not Like why the hell I couldn't be myself Try'na be somebody I will never be Making others happy while i'm hurting myself Now it's over yeah let me focus on me Like why the hell I couldn't be myself Try'na be somebody I will never be Making others happy while i'm hurting myself Now it's over yeah let me focus on me Cause i'm gonna be, gonna be me Gonna be me, man i'm gonna be me Cause i'm gonna be, gonna be me Gonna be me, man i'm gonna be me It's a tough life that we living these days We been falling behind but ain't tryna win a race We just tryna get bread so the family can eat No work in the hood everything is a scam Cause we living with imposters pretending that they pastors Acting like they righteous they judge and no forgiveness Wrote this like a theses they are the antithesis What the book is preaching they claiming and they reaching Instead of enriching the mind and the soul Got me feeling like a slave when I could be an uncle Steve Cause they like to deceive and receive but don't give People say one thing then they do the opposite You excited make a promise I am only gonn observe Because when the feeling gone you gonn come to your sense Then when you get mad you say things you gonn regret People lack the control they ain't got discipline I used to be like that but now i'm tryna change I am changing for the best that's the only way to grow Don't you ever be a child in a 40 year old body Don't you ever be a child in a 40 year old body man Cause i'm gonna be, gonna be me Gonna be me, man i'm gonna be me Cause i'm gonna be, gonna be me Gonna be me, man i'm gonna be me Right now you may be feeling lost You may be feeling depressed I feel the same way sometimes But we not letting the negative energy win We taking control Even though our dreams got delayed We still gonn fight, we still gonn keep moving Cause you gotta be yourself Gotta find yourself, gotta find yourself Gotta find the God within you Gotta find the deity within you Then you can take control It's a tough life But you got this bro Cause i'm gonna be, gonna be me Gonna be me, man i'm gonna be me Cause i'm gonna be, gonna be me Gonna be me, man i'm gonna be me
