James Bay
I’ll Be Me
Yeah, it's Me, Myself & I

[Chorus]
So, come on, let it go, just let it be
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
And I'll be me

First things first, I've been putting in work
I'm a rebel on course so I never pause
They told me by this time it will be all over
I stay forever young, while n***as getting older
The days are dark, the nights are getting colder
Everything is getting worse so I say my prayers
I'm a genius with maths but I'm better with words
They asked for some bars so I sent them a verse
Look into my eyes you see the fire blazing
Yeah that's right, I'm pretty much amazing
Nah, I'll never let this world run my life
And when the album drops, I promise to do it right

[Chorus]
So, come on, let it go, just let it be
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
And I'll be me
I pray I never loose the sight of things
Conquering everything this life brings to me
This is God's plan so you can't stop this
Look into my past and see what he did
I study my Bible and I write some bars
Dear Lord please help me find my heart
Got these crazy ideas going through my thoughts
I look at the devil and tell him to do his worst
There's some few things that I hate to share
So I shoot my pains and I slay my fears
I wanna give my heart, I wanna give you my best
They say I'm a genius but I say I'm blessed

[Chorus]
So, come on, let it go, just let it be
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
And I'll be me

They told me they wanted an heart to heart
So I tell them I'm just trying to play my part
Check the lifestyle of this young black child
Growing up good forced to live my life wild
I pray to the Lord, I pray to the Most High
I turn words into numbers, yeah that's right
I'm like shakespare but I write no plays
This is my pain, so I don't write to get paid
When it comes to rap, yeah I'm the general
I'm so credible, so call me Mr. Incredible
I'm bringing down the house like Dave Chappelle
I wanna be the best, so it's me against myself
[Chorus]
So, come on, let it go, just let it be
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
And I'll be me
