(talking) |
|
Yeah, nobody's perfect uh |
|
Who am I |
|
Ain't no commrottery, envy and jealousy dividing me |
|
And rose the killer exposed, the afterworld side of me |
|
Those I probably, confided and lied inside of me |
|
For years, constantly evaluated me improperly |
|
I teach game, like people taught it to me |
|
My personality might not be, what you thought it could be |
|
See it's easy to walk with me, when it's sunny and warm |
|
But how many people gon stay down, through the cold and the storm |
|
Am I perfect, I'll be the first to tell you I ain't |
|
Just because I try to kick knowledge, don't make me a saint |
|
Now who am I, I'm not the man you think you know |
|
I'm trying to get up out the quicksand, 'fore I sink too low |
|
I'm educated by the streets man, I done took my class |
|
Trying to maintain, but the rap game done whooped my ass |
|
The only part of me you know, is what I show you |
|
But internally family and friends, can't even fathom what I go through |
|
Now who am I, only a man just like you |
|
I wrestle with myself, to figure out what I must do |
|
Fuck knocking on a do', I'm trying to bust right through |
|
So don't put me on no pedestal, I'm just like you |
|
Now who am I, only a man just like you |
|
I'm still struggling, ain't no telling what I just might do |
|
Fuck knocking on a do', I'm trying to bust right through |
|
So don't put me on no pedestal, I'm just like you |
|
They say it helps to open up, it makes the soul feel good |
|
Soon as you do it, people spread your bidness all through the hood |
|
Living without love made hatred, the main thang that I thought of |
|
And I done did a lot of things in the past, that I ain't proud of |
|
I don't give women the respect, they deserve |
|
I never hit one with my hands, but I've abused em with words |
|
Many days I would, write lyrics to raise my hood |
|
But I'm certain that my bad side, outweighs my good |
|
I'm getting so tired of thinking, till my mind won't run |
|
I'm getting tired of people telling me, that my time gon come |
|
Maybe I suffer, cause of temptation I never resisted |
|
Maybe my time already came, and I ain't know it and missed it |
|
It ain't wise to share your dreams, with everybody know why |
|
Cause even close friends, will wish negative thoughts in the sky |
|
And when I see a arrogant hoe, I squeeze his lid |
|
I run with the thugs and the sinners, like Jesus did |
|
Now who am I, only a man just like you |
|
I wrestle with myself, to figure out what I must do |
|
Fuck knocking on a do', I'm trying to bust right through |
|
So don't put me on no pedestal, I'm just like you |
|
Now who am I, only a man just like you |
|
I'm still struggling, ain't no telling what I just might do |
|
Fuck knocking on a do', I'm trying to bust right through |
|
So don't put me on no pedestal, I'm just like you |
|
God gives heaven to me, and other than he there never will be |
|
One who can definitely say he knows who I am, better than me |
|
Two things take place, when struggling starts |
|
It either brings you closer together, or further apart |
|
If I leave nothing behind, after the graveyard got me |
|
Y'all gon mourn two or three weeks, then forget all about me |
|
You out of sight you out of mind, once your heartbeat quit |
|
And you can never be remembered, if you ain't did shit |
|
Give you my last if I got it, ain't no greed in my bones |
|
Last of my bloodline, I never had a seed of my own |
|
I feel depression, cause it wasn't my intention to see |
|
The next generation be born, with no extension of me |
|
But hopefully, I can keep living on this earth through |
|
The parts of my life that I write down, and give birth to |
|
I ain't fraud but see, being right is hard to be |
|
Excuse my evil side, just focus on the God in me |
|
Now who am I, only a man just like you |
|
I chase money, ain't no telling what I just might be |
|
I get aggravated commit sins, and lust like you |
|
So don't put me on no pedestal, I'm just like you |
|
Now who am I, only a man just like you |
|
I wrestle with myself, to figure out what I must do |
|
Fuck knocking on a do', I'm trying to bust right through |
|
So don't put me on no pedestal, I'm just like you |
|
(talking) |
|
Yeah homie, I'm working on myself |
|
Just like you working on yourself man, you know |
|
We gotta minister to eachother man, and try to pull eachother up |
|
So uh when you see me, don't look at me as being no better than you are man |
|
Cause it might be something that you can give me, that I don't have |
|
So remember I'm just like you, yeah feel that |
