illakriss – authentic self lyrics
[hook]
i’m authentic, (authentic)
i’m authentic, (authentic)
i won’t change for someone else
compromise my true self
no, no, no
authentic
living my life to the fullest
staying true to my soul
to my spirit
my spirit
[verse 1]
why in the world would i want to be normal
that’s so basic, thats so boring
wanted to be cool but i constantly got scored on
now i don’t even want to fit in
i’d rather not give a f-ck and attract the right friends
my awkward personality will reel them end
life is too short to pretend
to be someone that you ain’t
but it’s hard to be yourself when people keep tryna change
who you really are
accept me as i am it ain’t hard
i just want to make art
but simple minds rather see me doing something more practical
parents raised me right
but the real me is radical
outrageous and hyper and weird sh-t is laughable
to me
maintaining a mask is really stressful
i’d rather live in authenticity
silly me
goofy n-gga with a grin
never taking anything serious
cuz we can die in any moment
literally, so why the f-ck we even doing this
sh-t that’s not aligned with our core frequency
supposed to have fun much more frequently
but everybody working living someone else dream
or somewhere in school cheatin’ to get that degree
that’s so not me
i know my worth
and i’m being 100 with myself
i’d rather live my dreams
express my true self as much as i can
and keep on satisfying my needs
f-ck what society sees
as cool
i’m doing what i want
being who i want
never trying to please
these fools
[chorus]
i’m authentic, (authentic)
i’m authentic, (authentic)
i won’t change for someone else
compromise my true self
no, no, no
authentic
living my life to the fullest
staying true to my soul
to my spirit
my spirit
[verse 2]
why in the world do they try to compete
n0body can be me’r than me
i used to be the one at work, smiling
but really i was far from happy
now i rather express the way i really feel
no fake energy, keep it real
i do not want no phony vibes over here
keeps sometimey people nowhere near
too many clones
too many rappers using other n-ggas sound
just to get on
too many people are afraid
i told myself to leave my comfort zone and be brave
cuz that’s where my blessings are placed
can’t impact the world being the same
that’s boring in plain like the majority in this plane
i’d rather be different
than being the same
even if they claim
i’m trying too hard
don’t need no one to tell me that i am a star
already know who i are
so f-ck your approval
naturally i’m bizarre
behavior kind of unusual
i see rappers buying they plays and they views
but i never get discouraged
cuz in the end, only real sh-t will flourish
and god favors the people that got courage
facing my fears even when i’m feeling nervous
trusting my inner voice when i’m uncertain
authentic
[break]
[chorus]
i’m authentic, (authentic)
i’m authentic, (authentic)
i won’t change for someone else
compromise my true self
no, no, no
authentic
living my life to the fullest
staying true to my soul
to my spirit
my spirit
[outtro]
im a be me man f-ck being a copy
in my own lane so n0body can top me
oh, you dislike me?
i don’t give two cares
cuz i fell in love with myself (with myself)
(i’m authentic)
im a be me man f-ck being a copy
(authentic)
in my own lane so n0body can top me
(i’m authentic)
oh you dislike me?
i don’t give two cares
(authentic)
cuz i fell in love with myself
