"To Be Me" lyrics

I wanna walk through an alley at night without making a knife with a key
Like oh my God it's safe to be me
I wanna drink till I'm drunk and not think about everything wrong that could be
Like oh my God it's safe, it's safe to be me

Off my face at a stranger's party
I was asleep and he touched my body
Wish I could think but my brain is foggy
I did nothing wrong, why do I feel sorry

'Cause they tell us that we should take care of ourselves
That if we dress like this then we've asked to be felt

I wanna walk through an alley at night without making a knife with a key
Like oh my God it's safe to be me
I wanna drink till I'm drunk and not think about everything wrong that could be
Like oh my God it's safe, it's safe to be

Black in America, black and shopping
Black on a jog in the lot apartment
Black in the car on the sidewalk dancing
They did nothing wrong, why are they in heaven?

'Cause they tell us that we're only meant for our self
That if we look like this then we've asked to be killed

I wanna walk through an alley at night without making a knife with a key
Like oh my God it's safe to be me
I wanna drink till I'm drunk and not think about everything wrong that could be
Like oh my God it's safe, it's safe to be

Ooh-ooh
To be me
Ooh-ooh
Baby, oh, oh-ooh, ooh-ooh
