Tom Walker - Be Myself(2019)

[00:22.08] No, you can't flip a flip book 'cause this isn't like the trigger
[00:25.68] I won't change just 'cause you can't figure me out
[00:28.50] Never doubt what I have to play
[00:30.53] If the world's not ready they'll just have to wait
[00:34.57] Don't put me on no pedestal, tell me I'm incredible
[00:37.47] Ask me to change and make my lines more legible
[00:40.26] So learn to love whatcha listenin' to
[00:42.31] 'Cause my music is my music, this is what I do
[00:45.24] Don't tell me what I need
[00:47.32] Like what I need is what you want
[00:50.17] 'Cause everybody wants to have their say
[00:52.71] They're just a bunch of know-it-alls
[00:55.65] And I'll be here just tryna do my thing
[00:58.58] Y'all just gettin' in the way, no-no
[01:01.33] 'Cause all I wanted was a little peace
[01:04.29] A little time to play
[01:06.75] 'Cause I can feel it when the beat drops down
[01:09.76] And the lights go out
[01:12.42] 'Cause you just need to let me be myself
[01:15.08] 'Cause I ain't nobody else, no-no-no-oh-oh-oh
[01:19.27] I won't strike a pose
[01:22.09] Or sell my soul to break the mold
[01:24.41] I'll just be myself
[01:26.40] 'Cause I ain't nobody else, no, no
[01:30.93]
[01:35.62] When the mic's in the booth, got the lights down low
[01:38.49] Turn up the check and the headphones
[01:41.36] Get that kick drum kickin' and the bassline sittin' tight
[01:44.22] Sippin' rum under the candlelight, oh
[01:47.13] You oversee whatchya can't see
[01:49.55] I'm just tryna be free, creatively, you're killin' me
[01:52.30] There's another storm on the front line
[01:54.61] Gotta keep a hold of the mic tight
[01:57.24] 'Cause you been tryna tell me what I need
[01:59.70] Like what I need is what you want
[02:03.14] Everybody wants to have their say
[02:05.22] They're just a bunch of know-it-alls
[02:07.77] And I'll be here just tryna do my thing
[02:10.51] Y'all just gettin' in the way, no-no
[02:13.73] 'Cause all I wanted was a little peace
[02:16.22] A little time to play
[02:19.64] 'Cause I can feel it when the beat drops down
[02:22.21] And the lights go out
[02:25.04] 'Cause you just need to let me be myself
[02:27.48] 'Cause I ain't nobody else, no-no-no-oh-oh-oh
[02:31.60] I won't strike a pose
[02:34.48] Or sell my soul to break the mold
[02:37.08] I'll just be myself
[02:38.96] 'Cause I ain't nobody else, no, no
[02:43.61]
[02:54.14] Just let me be
[02:56.59] And then you'll see, yeah
[02:59.94] Just let me be, yeah
[03:06.32]
[03:26.71] 'Cause I can feel it when the beat drops down
[03:29.29] And the lights go out
[03:32.05] 'Cause you just need to let me be myself
[03:34.62] 'Cause I ain't nobody else, no-no-no-oh-oh-oh
[03:38.52] I won't strike a pose
[03:41.34] Or sell my soul to break the mold
[03:44.08] I'll just be myself
[03:45.94] 'Cause I ain't nobody else, no, no
