Frank Ocean - Be Yourself Lyrics






[Frank's Mom:]
Many college students have gone to college and gotten hooked on drugs, marijuana, and alcohol. Listen, stop trying to be somebody else. Don't try to be someone else. Be yourself and know that that's good enough. Don't try to be someone else. Don't try to be like someone else, don't try to act like someone else, be yourself. Be secure with yourself. Rely and trust upon your own decisions. On your own beliefs. You understand the things that I've taught you. Not to drink alcohol, not to use drugs. Don't use that cocaine or marijuana because that stuff is highly addictive. When people become weed-heads they become sluggish, lazy, stupid and unconcerned. Sluggish, lazy, stupid and unconcerned. That's all marijuana does to you, okay? This is mom. Unless you're taking it under doctor's - umm- control. Then it's regulated. Do not smoke marijuana, do not consume alcohol, do not get in the car with someone who is inebriated
This is mom, call me, bye

    Late night though so please excuse the typos. To me, people have different perspectives to this track. It's either be yourself, you don't have to do drugs, for example weed. you don't need to take drugs to fit in and you can be yourself to fit in with other people rather than acting like someone you aren't. On the other hand, be yourself, do drugs like weed as after all you are being you and not someone else as it's the choices you make that makes you yourself. To me, im both, im not sure why, I guess im in some sort of limbo when It' comes to making choices. idk just a late night thought. :)

  17. S.... ....

    Fuck this song, I can smoke all the bud I want to, I’m still myself, doing drugs doesn’t make you someone else or trying to be like someone else, if anything it makes me feel like myself.

  18. s.... h....

    She ain’t wrong though.
    I hate when I’m not in control of myself plus people tend to use weed to escape problems in their reality when they should be addressing them. Idk.

  19. A.... S....

    Marijuana was used for medical purposes thousands of years ago, but it became criminalised and people are making stuff up about it like this woman

    M.... K....

    Maryam Kotia lol relax don’t take it too seriously

    M.... K....

    Maryam Kotia she’s not making it up I love weed and smoke it with my friends and co workers but it definitely does slow you down she’s not completely wrong, ima still keep smoking though

    M.... K....

    Maryam Kotia in my opinion, when you smoke 24/7 I agree with this woman. Smoking on occasion or before bed isn’t an issue to me, but I’ve known people who can’t function without weed because they have to smoke 24/7. I’m not talking about medical marijuana weed

  49. r.... ....

    *SLUGGISH, LAZY, STUPID, AND UNCONCERENED*

  50. u.... ....

    What's wrong with warning kids of the dangers of drug abuse?Do you really think it's fun and responsible to die young and wasted doing that stuff?

    u.... ....

    Daniel I agree about the weed stuff, It is safer actually. But I think this interlude is about people who are insecure about themselves and need to get drunk or high (like cocaine or other drugs) just to be more confident to get along with other people

    u.... ....

    yes, yes i do.

    u.... ....

    better to die early and be numb than to live an agonizing life of pain

    u.... ....

    @vektor og sluggish, stupid, lazy and unconcerned. I sense that you are the embodiment of this track. It does not do good to dwell in the mindset that just because weed is healthier than alcohol it justifies it's abuse. There is nothing cool about smoking it and being addicted to it. The people who abstain from it are the real people

    u.... ....

    @zxcvbnm not everybody who smokes weed gets addicted, there's nothing wtong with wanting to feel good.

  51. M.... N....

    Amo esse interlúdio e o fato de ele dizer para não nos deixarmos levar por influência. É bem tipo mensagem de mãe para filho mesmo

  52. E.... Y....

    Is this real voicemail? I don't think so.

  53. B.... J....

    Wtf?! XD

  54. G.... ....

    thank you very very much mrs. ocean

    G.... ....

    GreySynchroDevil That’s not franks mom

    G.... ....

    also, not the message

  55. L.... ....

    If your mom leaves you a voicemail.... would she need to say "this is mom calling" for you to identify that it is your mom? Do you not have her number saved on your contacts? Does her voice not sound familiar?

    L.... ....

    If your high or you're a pothead you might not care or you might've been super out of it but o think shes saying this is mom to show the significance of it or to add more emotional weight

    L.... ....

    because she is a mom

    L.... ....

    @Ishita simple as that all moms finna do that

    L.... ....

    My moms always announces herself everytime 😂 don't forget that they're old and didn't grow up with number recognition etc. It's stuck with their old heads

  56. d.... d....

    👋😲👌===🔥

    after smock one wead, died

  57. T.... ....

    Shows how wrong she was, Frank makes it very known he is a Marijuana user. Look how successful, artistic, smart, and concerned your son is now mom. Heman - your spot on

    T.... ....

    Thats not his mom its his friends mom who leaves him voicemails every now and then, and if you listen to Futura Free he says he hasn't smoked all year. Whether thats relative to now idk but weed isnt what makes Frank artistic. And I think the point she's trying to make is not to be a conformist within his community, which he isnt anyway.

    T.... ....

    same thanks for clearing that up, and all I said was look how artistic he is as a metaphor because of all his success. I didn't say it was just because he smokes, if he quit tomorrow his music would be just as creative if not more. I was basically just backing up hemans comment that everyone should be themselves then this mother proceeds to say everything he can't or shouldn't do which she is on par for most but drinking a beer or smoking joint doesn't make you useless or unconcerned that's all I was trying to say, but now I've got one of his friends to look up so thanks

    T.... ....

    No prob. This is same lady from Its not money on Channel Orange.

    T.... ....

    that's right dude.

  58. A.... C....

    Sounds like a slightly pitch shifted Trump lol or am I crazy

    A.... C....

    Alex Chipka very wrong

  59. d.... ....

    But like what is being yourself really tho? She's saying that he needs to be himself but then lists all the things he shouldn't do. So her version of being himself is the person she wants him to be. Not really who he is as a person but what she tried to raise him as. Love that this came before Solo too such a perfect little interlude.

    d.... ....

    He-Man did you just hit a blunt

    d.... ....

    That is why u need to be yrself. So u will know. If not, u will not get the message clearly

    d.... ....

    nobody smart will smoke weed, if you wanna be stupid then sure be yourself and smoke yourself to death

    d.... ....

    Ed Boy she’s telling her son to not follow other people that do it... basically he shouldn’t do I because he see people in the industry doing it

    d.... ....

    its not about your personality. I think he wants to point out the pure clarity of your soul. I can confirm that because after partying you're not that sensitive. You wont cry while watching a touching movie. You are too attached to your brain and senses and your soul doesnt find a way to fill you up with that satisfying clear shining.

  60. N.... ....

    timeless classic
