Benjamin Rea – Lemme Be Me

Benjamin Rea is a 19 year-old artist from Indiana. He believes and trusts in God but is human too and makes mistakes. His music is simply a reflection of that. This single, Lemme Be Me, is a song about doing his best to be who he’s supposed to be. Over the past year, he’s been on a journey of finding himself. He tried finding himself outside of God and it didn’t work. It never will. That’s what this song expresses. He was in an impure relationship and was so focused on making music for the girl he was with and for recognition from peers. Now, God lets him use it as a tool to positively influence.

Lyrics
Verse
Woke up one morning,
Not knowing where I was going,
Not going outside it’s pouring,
Thought, I’ll just sit here today,
Not move, just wither away,
Get faded, sip on some Grey,
That lifestyle, it seemed so nice,
Did my best tryna make it feel right,
Man, I been wanting the fame,
Man, I been wanting the dames,
But, man, I been wanting to change,
But, I save that for another day,
Lately, I been feeling I could run away,
Run away, like I’m gone,
Or explode, like a pipe bomb,
Or I could stay here and right wrongs,
I think I might choose that,
(Yeah yeah)
I think I might do that,
(Yeah yeah)
I just wanna be who I really am,
Who I’m meant to be,
I just wanna feel some peace with God,
Light the path and get them to see,

Chorus
Walk up in this room, I can feel the stares,
Walk up in this room, I conceal my care,
Of what people think,
What people say,
Lemme be me, lemme lemme be me,
I ain’t worried bout y’all,
Lemme be me, lemme lemme be me,
I won’t back down, no,
Only focused on the love,
Never worried bout the hate,
I can be great,
So lemme be me,

Verse
Woke up this morning and realized,
That I been zoning,
On these things that aren’t important,
About wished my life away,
Wishing for the flyest dame,
Limping, tryna fly this thing,
I been looking for the right one,
But the right one, couldn’t really find em,
I was tryna take her back to her room,
She just wanna smash and be through,
I’m just not that type of dude,
I just want something real, that’s overnight,
Type of thing, when you wait, take old advice,
Cause these type of nights are overhyped,
The feeling that we had was potent, I,
Pardon me, it’s what I been through,
Doing all these things I wasn’t meant to,
(Meant to, meant, meant to)
Pray to God, I jus gotta vent dude,
(Vent dude, vent, vent dude)
I just wanna be who I really am,
Who I’m meant to be,
I just wanna feel some peace with God,
Light the path and get them to see,

Chorus
Walk up in this room, I can feel the stares,
Walk up in this room, I conceal my care,
Of what people think,
What people say,
Lemme be me, lemme lemme be me,
I ain’t worried bout y’all,
Lemme be me, lemme lemme be me,
I won’t back down, no,
Only focused on the love,
Never worried bout the hate,
I can be great,
Lemme be me, lemme lemme be me,
I ain’t worried bout y’all,
Lemme be me, lemme lemme be me,
I won’t back down, no,
Only focused on the love,
Never worried bout the hate,
I can be great,
So lemme be me
