Heres Where I Stand

You hear it everyday, "just be yourself" 
From your friends to your teachers you always hear the same damn thing come out they mouth 
Everyone just keeps trying to tell you that they like you for you and not to change 
But you see the problem comes when now ive decided to take that advice and turn a new page 
To my old friends this will be no shock at all 
Because the old friends...the real friends knew me and accepted me when i just blended in like a fly on the wall 
The shock will come to these college "friends" of mine who never even saw the real me 
So this is my warning to those "friends" who just dont know how i can really be 
Im sure yall will have something or another to say and to be honest i could care less 
Wouldnt be the first time so called "friends" threw my name in some mess 
As far as organizations go i will honor my commentment 
Never been the type of person to start something and not finish it 
So this old me is a person i should have never let go in the first place 
Its the person i was for 18 years, and looking back i never had a problem when i looked in the mirror and saw that face 
This person took the time to handle his own business first and stayed out of other peoples bullshit 
But this new me seems to always be right at the center of some new campus conflict 
Im not the partying, flirting, outgoing person you see chillen in da cafe 
Really i would rather keep to myself, have a steady girlfriend and think twice before acting like a dumbass 
So when i got to RMU i guess i just wanted to fit in 
Knowing damn well thats just not who i am 
As far as being yourself, thats a concept i just didnt understand 
Seemed like i had just been picked out the blue to be this great leader, but thats not who i am 
Time for me to be person i was raised to be and realize the only people who i can always count on is my family 
Friends come and go, but most the time they leave when they see the real you that doesnt fit with them perfectly 
Heres where I stand...Heres who I am...like me for me, but if you dont then do me this favor and just stay the hell away from me 
Gotta take care of my own life for once
