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
