(Verse) Grabbing my heart and my soul Been grinding for years just despite all that knows I was born to lead, born to lead the way To show every dreamer that you'll get there one day
(Pre-Chorus) It's a cold world and I know it I crush it off of my shoulder What's up with all of this hatin' I'm here just to escape it Be proud to be yourself, live for nobody else And never forget just who you are
(Chorus) I'm proud to just be me, I'm proud to just be free I'm livin for the moment cos the life ain't guaranteed And everywhere I go these people wanna know Just who I am and what I'm bout so I'mma let em know I'm proud to just be me I'm proud to just be me And everywhere I go these people wanna know Just who I am and what I'm bout so I'mma let em know I'm proud to just be me
(Verse) Blood, sweat and tears all I got My heart on my sleeve, they can say what they want I was born to flood, born to inspire And show em you can be just who you are
(Pre-Chorus) It's a cold world and I know it I crush it off of my shoulder What's up with all of this hatin' I'm here just to escape it Be proud to be yourself, live for nobody else And never forget just who you are
(Chorus) I'm proud to just be me, I'm proud to just be free I'm livin for the moment cos the life ain't guaranteed And everywhere I go these people wanna know Just who I am and what I'm bout so I'mma let em know I'm proud to just be me I'm proud to just be me And everywhere I go these people wanna know Just who I am and what I'm bout so I'mma let em know I'm proud to just be me
I'm proud to just be me And everywhere I go these people wanna know Just who I am and what I'm bout so I'mma let em know I'm proud to just be me And everywhere I go
(Chorus) I'm proud to just be me, I'm proud to just be free I'm livin for the moment cos the life ain't guaranteed And everywhere I go these people wanna know Just who I am and what I'm bout so I'mma let em know I'm proud to just be me I'm proud to just be me And everywhere I go these people wanna know Just who I am and what I'm bout so I'mma let em know I'm proud to just be me
(Outro) I've been waitin for this opportunity my whole life And I promise I won't let you down I love y'all
