Being Me Video (MV)

Yo, that sounds so smooth
It's like I'm doing a joint with Chet Baker, nahmean
Ha
Chicka-chicka-1-2
I'm a music making man 'cause it's a major influence
But the truth is, I never played an instrument
I tried to play guitar, but I was only 6
Only thing I remembered was how to hold the pick
So it was always in me, the drive to making music
Wanna know the appeal? There's layers to it
I'm modernizing shit from now a century ago
I was youthful when I wrote this, but mentally I'm old
Like I should've been born in the seventies
It won't change the fact that I perform with integrity
Gang Starr and Tribe should've been my peers
I would've fit better than most of the shit right here
But I ain't your average MC, the era don't matter
I'm not a big thug in the strip club doing sick drugs like those rappers
Only purple drank I sip's an ube milkshake
If you can't be yourself, then you ain't real made
Hey, I can only be myself
Aye, that's something that won't need your help
So I'm just being me, myself and I
Me, myself and I (Go and tell 'em twice)
Hey, I can only be myself
Aye, that's something that won't need your help
So I'm just being me, myself and I
Me, myself and I 'till the day I die
Legal adult but I act like I'm still a kid
Reading DC Comics and watching Godzilla flicks
I wear loose clothes 'cause they feel good on me
But I look like I'm too broke for Rook Coffee
'Cause I ain't a basic Monmouth County white chick (Hey)
I'm no comic, but I joke like this (Yay)
I f*ck with the voices, bruh I got plenty
My childhood was mostly Fluffy, Mark Hamill and Tom Kenny
Chappelle's Show to me is something I'll forever quote
F*ck therapy, I'll watch a Netflix stand up special though
I f*ck with rants from Bill Burr, you prolly could guess
Grew up on Eddie Murphy, not just as Donkey from Shrek
I'm just an avid fan, that's what Karan's for
My jokes are too out there, plus people have gone soft
I'm not here to seem evil, but I don't please people
I'm Rye G-therz, I'm only here to be me though
Hey, I can only be myself
Aye, that's something that won't need your help
So I'm just being me, myself and I
Me, myself and I (Go and tell 'em twice)
Hey, I can only be myself
Aye, that's something that won't need your help
So I'm just being me, myself and I
Me, myself and I 'till the day I die
I'm from the suburbs of Holmdel, bitch I ain't street
But I still f*ck with Griselda and Dave East
I don't rap like them 'cause I'd be hell of a fake G
Can't brag about money, I ain't wealthy as Jay-Z
I'm super lyrical like Big Pun, Outkast like Andre and Big Boi
Illmatic like Nas with a Filipino twist, hoy
Creating content like Covfefe, and that's conscious rap
But I can still fit with a Kendrick, Cole, or Common track
I was born after Big L, 2Pac and Biggie passed
And I still their play their albums, plus their shit be phat
I do this for the passion but I still need to get these stacks
Never on the streets, but I respect the hustle Nipsey had
To me, super groups like Slaughterhouse kill with the best rhymes
And I learned my flows and weirdness from Eminem and Tech N9ne
Got the seven chakras like Ces Cru, my Roots trace to my Black Thought
Ain't nothing to f*ck with like Wu-Tang, I salute y'all with my hat off
Goddamn, hehe
I was really name dropping like the Game, huh
Shit
But Imma close out like how 50 Cent would say my name
G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G, G-therz
