[Verse 1]
I was searching for a lane that fit my style (my style, yeah)
Finally found a place that made me smile (uh-huh)
But the whispers start creeping through the hall (through the hall, uh)
Fake faces watching, waiting for me to fall (nah, nah)
Dreams bigger than the gossip they keep (keep talking)
I’m on my grind, steady stacking my peace (stack it up)
They hate ‘cause they stuck, can’t move their feet (no way)
I stay free, nothing fake—just me (woo)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I just clock in, try to keep my peace (yeah)
But they love the gossip, never find their release (uh)
Drama in the air, like smoke in the breeze (wooo)
But I ain’t folding, no— I’ma still be me (still be me, yeah)
⸻
[Chorus]
Why they vultures circling me? (circling me, ayy)
Talking behind backs, tryna steal energy (energy, woo)
Wish these jobs came drama-free (drama-free, uh-huh)
But I just stay real, that’s the remedy (remedy, yeah)
Ohhh, just be me (just be me, ayy)
Ohhh, just be me (uh, uh)
They can’t break what they can’t see (nah, nah)
So I just… be me (woo, woo)
⸻
[Verse 2]
Everybody chasing titles, chasing checks (chasing checks, ayy)
But lose themselves, all respect (facts, uh)
I’d rather build slow, pride in my step (yeah)
Than be fake like the ones who flex (nah, nah)
They watching what you wear, what you do, who you know (who you know)
But none of that matter when your spirit glow (spirit glow, yeah)
Jealousy loud, but my soul stay low (low, low)
God on my side, that’s all I need though (let’s go, woo)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I just clock in, try to keep my peace (peace, yeah)
But they love the gossip, never find their release (never)
Drama in the air, like smoke in the breeze (in the breeze, uh)
But I ain’t folding, no— I’ma still be me (still be me)
⸻
[Chorus]
Why they vultures circling me? (circling me, ayy)
Talking behind backs, tryna steal energy (steal energy, yeah)
Wish these jobs came drama-free (drama-free, uh-huh)
But I just stay real, that’s the remedy (remedy, woo)
Ohhh, just be me (just be me, ayy)
Ohhh, just be me (uh-huh, uh-huh)
They can’t break what they can’t see (nah, nah)
So I just… be me (woo, woo)
⸻
[Bridge] (harmonies, lo-fi breakdown)
Oooooh, I rise above (yeah, yeah)
Don’t need their fake love (nah, nah)
I’m more than this place (uh-huh)
Can’t erase my grace (woo, woo)
rise above… fake love… this place… my grace”)
⸻
[Final Chorus + Outro]
Why they vultures circling me? (circling me, ayy)
Talking behind backs, tryna steal energy (energy, woo)
Wish these jobs came drama-free (yeah, yeah)
But I just stay real, that’s the remedy (remedy, ayy)
Ohhh, just be me (just be me, uh)
Ohhh, just be me (uh-huh, uh-huh)
They can’t break what they can’t see (nah, nah)
