Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I was so pressed trying to live up to the hype
Scrolling every day comparing my own life
To what seemed like perfection on my screen
Hashtag goals only if that could be me
All this pressure from what I see on the 'gram
I'm afraid to show who I really am
I pick a filter that shows the best side of me
All these filters just to cover the real me
Unfiltered
God created me with no filters
He loves the way I am with no filters
I don't have to hide no more
I'm loving the real me more
'Cause I embrace my life with no filters, filters, filters
Unfiltered, filtered, filtered
I see everyone else living their best life
I keep asking myself why that's not my life
I want to be the one to post I said yes too
Hashtag God is good and look y'all I found love too
Maybe I should take a trip to a nice island
And post pictures with people I don't know smiling
But my reality is good enough for me
Unfiltered
God created me with no filters
He loves the way I am with no filters
I don't have to hide no more
I'm loving the real me more
'Cause I embrace my life with no filters
I can say now I am free
I love this life You've created for me
I can say now I am free
I love this life You've created for me
I can say now I am free
I love this life You've created for me
I can say now I am free
I love this life You've created for me
I can say now I am free
I love this life You've created for me
I can say now I am free
I love this life You've created for me
I love this life You've created for me
