Grandmaster Dee If you please Be yourself I'm not rocking this jam to insult nobody This one goes out to the carbon copies So take a stand, as quick as ya can If ya plan ain't working then change that plan If you wanna be a loser, that's up to you Just don't be a loser 'round me and my crew Before you find yourself, picking up ya self With no one to blame beside yourself Be yourself You gotta be yourself You must think my head screws off and on But see people like you don't live too long You think you're a ladies man but you're not To tell the truth - you're the joke of the block Your hair's fried and dyed, pressed to the side You think you're Billy Dee drinking Colt 45 Mimicking and imitating somebody else If you wanna hang with me, you gotta Be yourself I said you've got to be yourself When you were young, you wanted to be president Sometimes, I wonder where those dreams went Those thoughts that you had were dreams of the past Speedballers get a ticket for moving too fast You're living the wild life and nothing to gain Getting busy Lover Lenny was your neighborhood name You think you're at the top of every girl's roster You're not Billy Dee But you're more like Alfalfa (You know what I mean) Be yourself Fake fingernails, ponytails down to the floor You said that you bought 'em so I guess that they're yours Grace Jones one minute, Chaka Khan the next Selling hair everywhere 20 dollars an inch When I seen you today it was a helluva surprise Yesterday I didn't notice that you had green eyes Everytime I see you you're face looks strange You're like Sybil, everyday your personality change Be yourself You got ta be yourself Hit me Hit me again Don't hit me no damn mo' You say you got yourself together but I'm calling your bluff When you gonna learn that enough is enough? If he jumped off the bridge, would you do that too? Monkey see, monkey do, why don't you be you? You see everybody can't be in front of the line So why ya always wanna tag behind Went to school all ya life and got a W.B A diploma in school for a wanna be Be yourself Be yourself You got ta got ta be yourself Got dammit, be yourself
