[Intro]
Don't try to be
Don't try to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't try to be
Don't try to be
[Verse 1]
I tell myself do not be Michael Jackson
She tells me I'm attractive
But my eye is on what I am lacking (Yeah)
If I had paper, would I turn myself into plastic
Huh, so I'm turning to these treadmills and macros (Yeah)
She come from a life of clubbing (Uh)
I come from a studio and battling out lunches (Uh)
I'm wondering if I know what fun is when I'm planning somethin' (Yeah)
I notice that she laughs harder at the family functions (100)
I know she love me, but I think am I the one for her?
Is me turning to God or turn off when we come to church?
Do people really like my music or am I doing too much?
Too real, too lyrical, nothing for you to turnt up (Yeah)
I tell myself do not be like your father and hate yourself (Nah)
I never take my own life but that still not the way to live (Yeah)
I'm tryna love me, the way the King love me
'Cause you be surprise of people love what you think is ugly
Do not be Michael Jackson
[Chorus]
Don't try to be
Don't try to be
Do not be Michael Jackson
Yeah, yeah
Don't try to be
Don't try to be
[Verse 2]
Love being who you are
Stay close enough to the Son
You don't need to be a star
Don't work out for the look
But keep up the Temple of God
It's a perfect picture
When the attention ain't being drawn
They'll begin to listen
When you stay genuine to the car
You can set the bar high
Without giving them bars and metaphors
Or the time or flip the flow with the rhymes
It's okay to have a different taste
Pick a loaf of the rhymes, set aside
Told my homies that I don't drink
Now I can send some act of Holy
When they approach me
Lonely, fast don't eat but I don't be
Lonely, I just wanna live how He told me
Didn't know we didn't have to do the real thing
Now I feel lame on a path of the lil' lane
'Cause He still reigns
Still saves like a dollar in the piggy bank
Been shaking, but I didn't change
Do not be Michael Jackson
[Chorus]
Don't try to be (Don't try to be something that you're not man)
Don't try to be
Don't try to be (Do not be Michael Jackson)
Don't try to be (Be who God created you to be and nothing more)
Do not be Michael Jackson, love yourself
