True to Myself Lyrics


Everybody wants to rise above
Without a touch of dignity
Without a stroke of love
Take a little time, check yourself
To live the life you're praying for
Just be true to yourselfEverybody wants to be your friend
If you got a dime to lend
You never really matter in the end to them
That's whyI'm true to myself y'all
I'm true to my family
And love with a true integrity
I'm true to myself y'all
I'm true to my God above
And love with a true integrityEverybody wants a piece of you and me
To be the victim of their greed
Or co-dependency
It's so very hard to know
Which way to go

A lie can be the gospel truth
If eloquently toldEverybody wants to make amends
If they can see another win
You never really matter in the end to them
That's whyI'm true to myself y'all
I'm true to my family
And love with a true integrity
I'm true to myself y'all
I'm true to my man above
And love with a true integritySome people live their whole life
And never see
The only way to find true happiness
Is to thine own self beTrue to yourself y'all
Got to live your life for you, yeah
All you gotta do, well
Is be true to yourself, well
I'm true to myself, y'all
I'm true to my little baby girl
I got to be true, oh yeahI'm true to myself y'all
I'm true to my family
And love with a true integrity
I'm true to myself y'all
I'm true to my God above
And love with a true integrityI'm true to myself y'all
I'm true to my God above
And love with a true integrity
I'm true to myself, y'all
I'm true to my little baby girlI'm true to myself y'all
I'm true to my family
And love with a true integrity
I'm true to myself y'all
I'm true to my God aboveI'm true

Eric Benét Jordan (born October 15, 1966 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is an American R&B and gospel singer. His mother's maiden name is his middle, in a scenario similar to Beyoncé.

Benét's father loved classical music and inspired an interest in music in his son. By his teens, Eric had formed a vocal group with his sister and cousin called "Benét." The group released a self-titled album in 1992 but only sold 70,000 copies possibly due to a lack of proper promotion by Capitol Records.

Also in 1992, Benét's girlfriend, Tami Stauff, gave birth to a daughter they named India. The couple's happiness was short-lived when 25-year old Tami was killed in a car accident on April 24, 1993.

In 1994, Benét signed with Warner Bros. Records, releasing his solo debut album, True to Myself, in fall (1996). His next album, A Day in the Life, was released in 1999; its first single, "Georgy Porgy (featuring Faith Evans)" received significant airplay, but the second single, "Spend My Life With You (featuring Tamia)", became a smash hit. "Spend My Life With You" rose to number one on the American R&B charts, was certified gold, and nominated for a 2000 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group. The album, A Day In The Life also won a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Album, Male. Benét also recorded for Earth, Wind, and Fire's 30th anniversary CD.

Benét has also been active as an actor; he had a recurring role on the television program For Your Love (1998 - 2002). He made his film debut in Glitter (2001).

He became engaged to actress Halle Berry in 1999, and they married in January 2001. The couple separated in 2003 and have since divorced.

Eric Benét and Manuela Testolini were married in the early evening [July 31st]. Eric and Manuela revealed that they're also expecting their first child together.

Eric Benet Takes on First Major Acting Gig in 'Trinity' “Trinity Goodheart,” a film about a visitation from an Angel that leads to substantial discovery of awareness and earth shattering faith questions.

The film is based on an original screenplay by Rhonda Freeman-Baraka centered around a 12-year old girl on a mission to reunite her disjointed family, announced by the producer Rick Eldridge.

Eric Benét also has a new album Love & Life
