Just Gotta Be Me
Embrace Your True Self: Just Gotta Be Me by Karla Felecia Scaife
Lyrics
There is a girl inside of me
There exists an aspect of myself that I have concealed
That I've been afraid
I've been hesitant or scared to reveal this aspect
To let be seen
I've avoided showing this side of me
And if I don't let her out
If I continue to hide this part of myself
I'll never know love
I won't experience love and understand its significance
And what it means
I won't comprehend the true essence of love
I
Expressing determination to overcome fear and inhibition
Oh
-I'm not afraid no more
-I'm gonna let it show
-I
-Oh
-I'm gonna let it be
-I'm gonna set me free
-I
Emphasizing the need to be authentic and true to oneself
I just gotta be me
-I
-I
-I
-I just gotta be me
-I
Reinforcing the resolution to embrace one's identity
I
-Wasted so much time
Reflecting on past wasted time due to worrying about potential failures
Worrying about what could go wrong
-Aw yeah
-But I'm not doing that no more
-Oh
-Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
-I
Reiterating the determination to overcome fear and be open
Oh
-I'm not afraid no more
-I'm gonna let it show
-I
-Oh
-I'm gonna let it be
-I'm gonna set me free
-I
Repeated affirmation of the importance of being true to oneself
I just gotta be me
-I

-I
-I just gotta be me
-I

-I
-I just gotta be me
-I

-I just gotta be me

-I just gotta be me

-I just gotta be me
-I

-I
-I just gotta be me
-I

-I just gotta be me
-I
Final emphasis on the necessity of self-acceptance and authenticity
