Eric Benet - True To Myself lyrics

Everybody wants to rise above Without a touch of dignity Without a stroke of love Take a little time and 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 [Chorus:] I'm true to myself ya'll I'm true to my family And love with a true integrity I'm true to myself ya'll 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 [Chorus] Some people live their whole life And they'll 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 [Chorus out]
