Be Me Songtext
von Eve

I′m just tryin' to be me, to be me

(One) ′Cause I really wanna see the world (The world)
(Two) Always knew I was a super girl (A super girl)
(Three) Stayin' laced in diamonds and pearls (To be me)
That's the way you gotta treat a girl (A girl)
(Five) ′Cause I really wanna see the world (Just tryin′)
(Two) Always knew I was a super girl (To be me)
(Three) Stayin' laced in diamonds and pearls (To be me)
That′s the way you gotta treat a girl


When I was broke, cats was like, "Do that"
Now that I got somethin', cats is like, "Screw that"
They wish I would′ve blew that, back with them complainin'
Spazzin′, stressed out, not maintainin'
I move on, speak shit, so forth and so on
You the one that made me go forth and blow on
Blew up, call me cherry bomb, changed my hair from blonde
Mad 'cause I can go investigate the whole Gucci line
Let me live, bitch, I did this with my own rhymes
Publishin′ to motherfuckers, baby, and I own mines
Work hard, I deserve the best in life
She stay clean, I deserve to be dressed up right
She spits mean, God definitely blessed her, right?
We can all buy diamonds and furs, nothin′ to tell
We can all buy the bar, but we all can't sell
Your career′s dead, ma, change your style, wear a veil, huh

(One) 'Cause I really wanna see the world (The world)
(Two) Always knew I was a super girl (A super girl)
(Three) Stayin′ laced in diamonds and pearls (To be me)
That's the way you gotta treat a girl (A girl)
(All you hoes) ′Cause I really wanna see the world (Just tryin')
(Said I'm just tryin′) (Two) Always knew
I was a super girl (I′m just tryin')
(Three) Stayin′ laced in diamonds and
Pearls (I'm just tryin′, tryin' to be me)
That′s the way you gotta treat a girl


Mad 'cause we got shit, drop what I drop shit
Mad 'cause we killin′ it, all we do is drop hits
Long cash, twenty-one, investin′ in stocks, shit
Call it braggin', waited long so I could cop shit
Now I′m supposed to downplay all the things I want in life?
Got my own money now, ain't gotta be nobody wife
Only if I want to, not ′cause I need to
Choose the situations I do and do not go through
I told you I was gonna make it big on the grow
This is dedicated to all of the haters who ain't know
But they knew what it was, haters created my buzz
Talkin′ 'bout me made people wonder who she was
And I'm here now, goin′ on my second year now
Fuck it, we can take it there, keep it at a stare down
Now I think that my message is clear now
That bitch E-V-E singin′, what you hear now?

(One) 'Cause I really wanna see the world (The world)
(Two) Always knew I was a super girl (A super girl)
(Three) Stayin′ laced in diamonds and pearls (To be me)
That's the way you gotta treat a girl (A girl)
(All you hoes) ′Cause I really wanna see the world (Just tryin')
(Said I′m just tryin') (Two) Always knew
I was a super girl (I'm just tryin′)
(Three) Stayin′ laced in diamonds and
Pearls (I'm just tryin′, tryin' to be me)
That′s the way you gotta treat a girl

Travelin' the Mia way was Atlantic City now
Float me in a boat in the Atlantic, feel me?
Gotta come to the table with somethin′, 'cause I got mine
Gotta spoil Eve royally, not just lay pipeline
Say I ain't your type, lyin′ (Lyin′), that just means you jelly
I said it before, I can fill my own belly, huh
Need you for what? Get in where you fit
If you can, I'ma keep it comfortable, that′s my plan
Understand, I'm just tryna be me, bubble in Philly
Nigga, ′course I'm gon′ boss and floss, I ain't no silly
Bet she come fully equipped, from chips to whip
Keys to her own crib, big shit to grip
I'm livin′ it now, so just simmer it down
Went from, "Who′s she?" to "Oh, I remember her now"
Niggas couldn't stand her, now they wanna give her a pound
Wanna know her, ′cause now my feet is planted in the ground, huh

(One) 'Cause I really wanna see the world (The world)
(Two) Always knew I was a super girl (A super girl)
(Three) Stayin′ laced in diamonds and pearls (To be me)
That's the way you gotta treat a girl (A girl)
(All you hoes) ′Cause I really wanna see the world (Just tryin')
(Said I'm just tryin′) (Two) Always knew
I was a super girl (I′m just tryin')
(Three) Stayin′ laced in diamonds and
Pearls (I'm just tryin′, tryin' to be me)
That′s the way you gotta treat a girl
(One) 'Cause I really wanna see the world (She's just tryin′)
(Two) Always knew I was a super girl (She just wanna)
(Three) Stayin′ laced in diamonds and pearls (She just wants to be)
That's the way you gotta treat a girl (E-V-E)
(All you hoes) ′Cause I really wanna see the world (Just tryin')
