y.g.b.y. (you gotta be you) - rue the poet lyrics

y.g.b.y
i’m on my y.g.b.y., y.g.b.y
y.g.b.y
i’m on my y.g.b.y

[part 1: rue the poet]
just got a call from my girl
she told me, she needed some sp-ce
had to accept how she felt
bittersweet as it is, but i had to relate
look at all the pictures in life that we make
beauty and the pain we create
everything i feel is what i make
the risk that i take
i feel like i never get a break
i got’s to got escape
like an old school credit roll
flowing nice, but i know i’m getting better though
but i overthink thoughts and forget what i’m taught
even though that i really gotta let it go
knowing that i’m no better though
the way of the whole life like a check from the federal
is a life not credible
living suicide, you need a medical
(y.g.b.y. i’m on my-)
take a look at your life
are you really being you?
or are you just caught in the fate of the maze
of what everybody wants you to do
yeah, just live life w-lly wonka [?] view
man, to get here man it took more than a few
boom from the b-ss and a organ or two
man this song was recorded for you

[hook: rue & abby jeanne]
everyday i look outside my window
dreaming of these places that i’m gonna go
baby, everyday i look outside my window
dreaming of the places that i’m gonna go
(i’m dreaming of these places i know, i know i’m gonna go)

(8x) you gotta be you
(y.g.b.y., i’m on my y.g.b.y.)

[part 2: rue the poet]
see you gotta fall in love with the life you live
get involved, no matter who is likin’ it
there’s no need for you to psyche and trick
i might can spit, but life’s been a hike and sh-t
9 to 5’s k!lling vibes, black man make a plan
on the rise, find a queen, kiss the sky
hovering another wing, i’m blessed i testify
(y.g.b.y., i’m on my -)
oh so so i gotta bring the church in
like donnie mcclurkin i’m speaking the word, that’s for certain
i just gotta put the work in
but that’s past tense, cause we here now
till i had to catch tears on the rebound
it’s all loving yourself and put it under your belt
(y.g.b.y., i’m on my-)

[hook: rue & abby jeanne]
everyday i look outside my window
dreaming of the places that i’m gonna go
(you know i’m dreaming of these places i know that i’m gonna go)
everyday i look outside my window
dreaming of the places i’m gonna go
(i already know where i’m gonna go)

[abby jeanne]
we’ve all been bound so many times in the past
we keep on trying to crawl out of these holes
so brutal baby, been tripped out so many times, so embrace these [?]
never forget your spirit
and never forget your life
tonight, i’ll press you light
i’m tellin’ you, i’m tellin’ you it’s gonna be alright

[outro: rue & abby](repeated)
(y.g.b.y., i’m on my y.g.b.y.)
you gotta be you

[skit:]
“deshawn, you know the definition of y.g.b.y.?”
“you gotta be you.”
“man, okay you’re right. what do you think… what is you bein’ you to you? what does that mean, what does it mean to you?
there’s no wrong answer”
“doin’ what you gotta do.”
“doin’ what you gotta do?”
“mhm”
“ey, i can take that.”
