Posted on

An exercise to see what is possible.


🎶 “Just Be Me (Reggae Vibe)”


[Intro – Spoken over instrumental skank]
Yes I…
Yuh see in this life, sometimes di most powerful ting…
Is just bein’ yuhself.
No pretense, no façade…
Let me tell yuh a likkle story, listen…


[Verse 1 – Chanted Singjay Style]
Me nuh live fi impress no man,
Me nah follow no crowd or plan.
Me ride inna pickup wit’ a boat pon di back,
Mi kitty inna lap and a spliff inna pack.
Got mi twelve gauge hangin’ fi keep di peace,
But di only ting mi shoot is negativity, capiche?

Dem seh, “Why yuh live so free?”
Mi tell dem, “Bredda, mi just be me!”


[Chorus – Catchy Melody]
🎵 I just wanna be me, yeah-eh,
Love di life that mi see, ohhhh
If yuh love me, love me true,
Don’t try fi change what I do.
One love, no disguise,
Real vibes never tell no lies. 🎵


[Verse 2 – More Melodic]
Mi cat she no judge, she just lay in di sun,
No drama, no stress, just vibes ‘til di day done.
People full of talk, but dem full of fear,
Try fi mold yuh mind, mek yuh disappear.

But mi walk wid Jah light and mi truth in mi soul,
Mi nah go bend, mi nah lose control.
If yuh cyaan love me how mi be,
Kindly tek yuh judgment and leave me be.


[Chorus – Add harmonies]
🎵 I just wanna be me, yeah-eh,
Underneath this mango tree, wooahh
No mask, no shame,
Just my name and di flame.
One love, no disguise,
Real vibes never tell no lies. 🎵


[Bridge – Dub-style breakdown, echo & reverb]
Mi seh—be real, be strong,
Don’t follow man who lead yuh wrong.
Know yuh worth, protect yuh peace,
Life too short fi fake belief.
Boom!

(🎛 Echo: “belief… belief…”)


[Verse 3 – Upbeat Singjay/Rap style blend]
Dem ask mi how mi stay so calm,
Mi seh mi talk to Jah and hold mi palm.
Got a likkle boat, mi drift in thought,
Love di silence, more than what money bought.

Mi nuh chase no hype, mi chase di breeze,
Mi soul at ease, mi mind at peace.
And if yuh cyan love mi as mi be,
Mi seh respectfully—yuh cyaan roll wid mi!


[Final Chorus – Big harmony, horns, keys]
🎵 I just wanna be me, yeah-ehhh,
In di roots of di tree, mmmmhmm
Let mi be who I be,
No chains, mi spirit free.
One love, no disguise,
Real vibes never tell no lies. 🎵


[Outro – Spoken Word fade out]
So remember now, bredren, sistren…
Di most important ting yuh can learn…
Is how fi sit in silence—an’ love yuh own company.
‘Cause once yuh do dat, nobody can tek yuh freedom.
One love. One life. Just be.


Rap version

[Intro – Spoken Word, almost like a poem]
Yeah…
It’s like a cool breeze hittin’ your soul,
When you finally stop frontin’
And just… be.
Let’s go.


[Verse 1]
I don’t need your labels, don’t need your praise,
I shed that skin like yesterday’s haze.
Truth in my pocket, cat on my lap,
Got a boat in the back, and a truck that slaps.
Ain’t no actin’, this ain’t no role,
I’m just walkin’ through life with a heart that’s whole.
Twelve gauge in the rack, for peace, not war,
Doors unlocked, but I’m watchin’ the door.


[Hook – Sung or Smooth Flow]
🎶 I just wanna be me, that’s the vibe I keep,
Ain’t tryna impress, just tryna find peace.
Love me for me, I’ll love you the same,
No mask, no game, just stay in your lane. 🎶


[Verse 2]
Got a porchlight soul and a fire inside,
Built from heartbreak, tears I never let dry.
Learned that silence got a song of its own,
And the loneliest roads make the realest home.
My cat don’t lie, she just stares and purrs,
She don’t care if I’m rich or if I’m hurt.
She just wants warmth, like we all do,
Same with love—if it’s real, it comes through.


[Hook – with vocal echo]
🎶 I just wanna be me (me), that’s the vibe I keep (keep),
Ain’t tryna impress, just tryna find peace (peace).
Love me for me, I’ll love you the same,
No mask, no game, just stay in your lane. 🎶


[Bridge – Spoken/Rapped Smoothly]
People say “love yourself,” but they don’t explain how.
It starts when you’re alone and you still feel proud.
When your own mind’s company don’t make you frown,
That’s when you own your space, that’s your crown.


[Verse 3 – Final Verse, more intense delivery]
I’ve been judged, been doubted, been played and burned,
But I flipped them Ls, and from pain I learned.
Now I ride with my truth like a passenger seat,
Just me, my cat, my heat, and my beat.
A boat when I’m tired, the water speaks calm,
A truck for the dirt road, life in my palm.
No fake smiles, no “yes man” crew,
Just a life that’s mine—raw, wild, and true.


[Final Hook – with harmony or fade-out effect]
🎶 I just wanna be me, that’s the vibe I keep,
Ain’t tryna impress, just tryna find peace.
Love me for me, I’ll love you the same,
No mask, no game, just stay in your lane. 🎶


[Outro – Spoken/Ad-lib]
And one of the realest things you’ll ever learn?
Is how to chill with yourself.
‘Cause when you can love that person in the mirror…
You unstoppable.
