Be That Boy
Reclaiming Joy: Miles Mayor's Empowering Anthem, 'Be That Boy'
Lyrics
I said I'ma be that boy, be that boy
I am declaring my intention to embody a certain identity or persona.
I got no choice
Expressing a lack of alternatives or options.
I said I'ma be that boy, be that boy
Reiterating the commitment to be a specific person.
Reclaim my voice
Stating the desire to recover and assert one's own voice.
I said I'ma be that boy, be that boy
Affirming the determination to be a certain individual.
And make that noise
Expressing the intention to create an impact or gain attention.
I said I'ma be that boy, be that boy
Reaffirming the commitment to embody a particular identity.
Reclaim my joy
Declaring the goal of recovering personal happiness.
Everything that shine ain't g-o-o-old
Highlighting that not everything that appears attractive is genuine or valuable.
I learned that the hard way , that the world so damn cold
Reflecting on the harsh reality of the world being unforgiving.
That's why I wear a hoodie, my heart is what you stole
Using a hoodie as a metaphor for protection against emotional vulnerability caused by heartbreak.
I'ma take that shit back, so I can be whole
Expressing the determination to reclaim what was taken and regain wholeness.
I said I'ma be that boy, be that boy
Repeating the commitment to embody a specific identity.
I got no choice
Reiterating the lack of alternative choices.

Restating the intention to be a certain person.
Reclaim my voice
Emphasizing the desire to reclaim one's voice.

I'm retaking all my space back, all the space that
Announcing the process of taking back one's personal space.
Was occupied by the thoughts that play back
Referring to the mental space previously occupied by negative thoughts.
Getting lost in my mind and my mind is a maze that
Describing the complexity of the mind as a maze that is challenging to escape.
I can never leave, I smell the start of a comeback
Indicating a realization of a potential comeback or recovery.
Where's the sun at, I need it
Expressing a need for positivity or light in life.
I was in a dark place, but I'm ready to leave it
Acknowledging a past period of darkness and expressing readiness to move on.
The next girl lucked out, I swear that's true
Asserting that a previous relationship was not ideal, but expressing a wish for a different outcome.
