Is That Okay?
I woke up today, I was thinkin' I was late (I was late), yeah
How you gonna learn without mistakes?
I feel like I can't go away, yeah (away, yeah)
They try to act cool, I'm just me, yeah (me, yeah)
I know I'll never be picture-perfect
But can I be myself? Is that okay?
Uh, I gave away a piece of myself
Now I'm tryna find peace for myself (at least for myself!)
I just wanna be myself
In the mirror, I wanna see myself, look
I been ballin' like the L.A. Lakers
Runnin' with the majors but the foul's flagrant
Now I'm independent, now I'm back to business
Tryna reach the people, they can keep dependence, yeah
Keep the power, keep the structure
Be destructive, peace above us, Jesus loves us
And that's my hope
Like, I don't need a big wave to sail my boat
For real
I don't need a piece of the pie
I got a piece of the sky
And that's around you, that's a piece of the God
Tell the kids Imma teach 'em to fly
They in the clouds like, "Wow, that Lecrae is a heck of a guy!"
I don't know how to stop
Clean boy tatted up
Break through the padded lock
Rug like Galaga
But I ain't playin' no games
Me and Josh had a talk
Thought I made the right move, is my career not addin' up?
Met some Christian artists who think they celebrities
I went to three award shows and fell asleep right in the front row
Why they act like they don't know?
Tell, they need a feature, then I flex like the gun show (ayy!)
This rap thing is overrated
Never been a king, no David
You talkin' 'bout God's guarantee, they won't play it
I don't wanna be famous
If that's the cost, you can save it
I ain't gon' pay for your playlist
I'm good!
Thought it was great until I went down to Hollywood
Always knew that I'd be fine
Yeah, I know God made us one-of-a-kind
Yeah, that's you and I
I woke up today, I was thinkin' I was late (I was late), yeah
How you gonna learn without mistakes?
I feel like I can't go away, yeah (away, yeah)
They try to act cool, I'm just me, yeah (me, yeah)
I know I'll never be picture-perfect
But can I be myself? Is that okay?
Imma always be myself
I ain't got time to be nobody else
If I listened to everything everyone else said
My life would be a mess
But God said I'm blessed
So I'm gonna claim blessings on my life instead
My God Father livin' water, so you know we got bread, uh
Yeah, bein' different is a superpower
It's not a deficiency for you to cower
I want all of us to repeat after me
"I'm me, I'm free, and I'm so happy"
I'm livin' now what they said that I couldn't be
Wouldn't be, shouldn't be
'Cause I move in a couple (weeks!)
Every day, I thank the Lord for His grace
For the plans that He made for my life to be great
Competition with who? I'm the illest being me
And there's so much life to live to let them ever get to me
Uh, Fern!
I woke up today, I was thinkin' I was late (I was late), yeah
How you gonna learn without mistakes?
I feel like I can't go away, yeah (away, yeah)
They try to act cool, I'm just me, yeah (me, yeah)
I know I'll never be picture-perfect
But can I be myself? Is that okay?
Is that okay?
Can I be myself, is that okay?
Can I be myself, is that okay?
How you gonna learn without mistakes?
I feel like I can't go away, yeah (away, yeah)
They try to act cool, I'm just me, yeah (me, yeah)
