lyrics

BANI

Verse 1:

At least I'm honest about them
My fears at least I'm open about them
Insecurities scream loud, publicly and I don't hide them

So what?
Yes I'm human
Guess what?
I get foolish
I stress out, I fall out, I get doubts, and I get stupid

I could be a savage about it
You call me cute, but I could do damage
I'm good good, but I can be a bad bitch
Be the baddest

So what?
Yes I'm moody
Guess what?
I get choosy
I sass out, I lash out, I get loud, but I'm a cutie

Hook:

If I'd rather be
Anybody else, I'd be me
If I'd rather be
Anybody else, I'd be me

I get selfish, I get rude
In my feelings swinging moods, yeah
Switch off the phone and be ghost
I'm still a babe, I'm still a boo

If I'd rather be
Anybody else, I'd be me
If I'd rather be
Anybody else, I'd be me

Verse 2:

I like to brag about it
My truth at least I'm proud about it
My strength has been the only friend
And I don't ever doubt it

I work hard,
And I'm ruthless
Deep scars
They got purpose

I stress out, I fall out, I get doubts, yeah I'm supposed to

Bani's the name
Paved the way
Stay in your lane
Don't need your wave

I got no problems with being me
I talk to myself
I like the me in me
All pink with my crazy ass
Mervibes, Ariel!

No chance, no way, I won't change for no one

If I'd rather be
Anybody else, I'd be me
If I'd rather be
Anybody else, I'd be me

I get selfish, I get rude
In my feelings swinging moods, yeah
Switch off the phone and be ghost
I'm still a babe, I'm still a boo

If I'd rather be
Anybody else, I'd be me
If I'd rather be
Anybody else, I'd be me

Bridge:

I'd rather be, rather be me
And no one else, no

If I'd rather be
Anybody else, I'd be me

I get selfish, I get rude
In my feelings swinging moods, yeah
Switch off the phone and be ghost
I'm still a babe, I'm still a boo

If I'd rather be
Anybody else, I'd be me

BANI.
