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 be true to yourself, well
