(Verse 1)
Woke up this morning, sun in the sky
Got a million voices tellin me how to live my life
“You should be this, you should be that,”
Treating my life like you’re wearin the hat
Tired of the drama, the gossip, and the shade
Rude ass people, how America is made
(Chorus)
I’m real, I’m real, nothing to prove
It’s MY say, MY life, do whatever I do
Nothing left to hide, only I remain
Walking my own path, the one I made
You can talk all you want, say what you say
But I’m doin me, the rest can wait
(Verse 2)
Spent too much time trying to fit in all along
Singing someone else's tune, hummin someone else's song
Gave up my voice, now it’s my turn
Took a few hits, a lesson learned
Not a puppet on a string, I got somethin to prove
Spine's a little straighter, the truth got through
(Chorus)
I’m real, I’m real, nothing to prove
It’s MY say, MY life, do whatever I do
Nothing left to hide, only I remain
Walking my own path, the one I made
You can talk all you want, say what you say
But I’m doin me, the rest can wait
(Bridge)
the storm is over, and the sun’s finally here
Their mouths are taped, and the path is clear
Got my own direction, my own kind of beat
Not gonna follow, won’t feel defeat
(Chorus)
I’m real, I’m real, nothin to prove
It’s MY say, MY life, do whatever I do
Nothing left to hide, only I remain
Walking my own path, the one I made
You can talk all you want, say what you say
But I’m doin me, the rest can wait
(Outro)
How America is made, it’s too late
Mindless sheep, showing signs of pain
Nothing to gain, no one remains
How America is made, they’re all the same
(Chorus)
I’m real, I’m real, nothing to prove
It’s MY say, MY life, do whatever I do
Nothing left to hide, only I remain
Walking my own path, the one I made
You can talk all you want, say what you say
But I’m doin me, the rest can wait
