stay true. Video (MV)

Truth be told, I used to wanna be like Kendrick and Cole
'Til I realized that I could never be like Kendrick and Cole
I can only be myself by just embracin' my role
I'm just youngin' ass nigga with an elderly soul
Which means I'm hit with them questions like where's the fun at?
Why you don't you rap about Cartiers and Hellcats?
Why don't you rap about pretty women and fat stacks?
'Cause bitch I'm broke, so that money talk would be straight cap
I'm just Davon who works at an Amazon
And pushes a Ford Fusion that kinda jerks when I drive
I've never gotten drunk and I never have gotten high
One thing about the kid is I rather tell you than lie
But I know that honesty get you blasted and criticized
I've had niggas teasin' and judgin' since I was five
Which taught me how to stand alone and don't focus on blendin
If I ain't on a movie set what's the point of pretendin?
And even though I'm long gone from them days
Mr. Lovett still got a whole lotta progress to make
I haven't fully overcome my sensitive ways
But still I'm givin' God the credit for how far I done came
Pat myself on the back, 'cause I didn't fall to the names
When muthaf*ckas called me weird and said that I just change
I could never think of changin' into nobody else
'Cause bitch I made it here by always staying true to myself, nigga
You've got to free yourself and learn to be yourself
No matter what they say, yeah
You've got to free your mind and learn to take your time
No matter what they say, yeah
Too many times I was searchin' for others acceptance
Was seekin' for people's approval and livin' so desperate
I started to feel outta place 'cause they misunderstood me
Until I start tellin' myself I'm the way that I should be
The f*ck I look like tryin' to cap about some stupid shit
Like I just took a hundid million out the bank and shit
Like I just pulled up in Jag and f*cked a foreign bitch
Or I just bought a f*ckin' Glock with an extended clip
I'm gon' be me, I don't give a f*ck about what's trendin
I'm gon' be me, I don't give a f*ck if y'all lose interest
Y'all get excited off fakin, you niggas mad ignant
You can't compare me to niggas 'cause bitch I brag different
I'm braggin' 'bout the fact I ain't have to go sell some drugs
I'm braggin' 'bout the fact I ain't have to go be a thug
I'm braggin' 'bout the fact I ain't have to go see a judge
I'm braggin' 'bout the fact I ain't never been hit with slugs
I'm braggin' 'bout I ain't have to carry a stick
I'm braggin' 'bout the fact I ain't have to grow up too quick
I'm braggin' 'bout the fact I don't have to be no one else
'Cause bitch I made it here by always staying true to myself, nigga
Too many times I was searchin' for others acceptance
Was seekin' for people's approval and livin' so desperate
I started to feel outta place 'cause they misunderstood me
Until I start tellin' myself I'm the way that I should be
