Lyrics
BE TRUE TO YOURSELF
CHORUS:
MAMA SAID, ?BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.
DON?T PASS OPPORTUNITY BY.
LEAVE ALL THE EVIL THINGS ON A SHELF
AND KEEP A SIMPLE EYE.
VERSE:
THE WORLD AIN?T SUCH A SIMPLE PLACE
TO LIVE OR TO DIE
WE COLOR OUR WORDS
AND PUT ON OUR FACE
AND SOME FOLKS LIVE A LIE
YOU?VE GOTTA HAVE
SOMEONE TO LOOK TO
TO WRITE YOUR OWN SET OF RULES
BUT YOU MAY FIND
IT?S BETTER TO WALK THROUGH BLIND
THAN LOOK AT ALL THE FOOLS
CHORUS:
MAMA SAID,?BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.
BE A SPECIAL GUY.
DON?T LET ?EM DESTROY
YOUR MENTAL HEALTH
AND GET YOUR PIECE OF THE PIE.
VERSE:
THEY DON?T SEEM TRUE TO ANYONE
JUST MATERIAL THINGS.
SUV?S AND DIAMOND RINGS
WHATEVER MONEY BRINGS
I USED TO THINK EVERYONE OWED ME
A TICKET THROUGH TIME
NOW I KNOW YOU EARN
EVERY LETTER YOU LEARN
AND IT?S YOUR JOB TO MAKE ?EM
RHYME
REPEAT 1ST AND 2ND CHORUS:
