This Is Me

Looking at my history and what the times giving me

I′m just trying to live the type of life that was meant for me

Flaws and all, pardon y'all I don′t want to come off too timidly

Tend to be more outspoken than your typically rap imagery, rock star mimicry

Minute we get up on the charts, five minutes starts

Literally it could be your life but this is me

Hey, I don't care what they say, I'm just me at the end of the day. With my flaws and all, the mirror ain′t lying y′all cause this is me (this is me) this is me (this is me) this is me, trying not to let the bullshit get to me cause this is me (this is me) this is me (this is me) I just want to live the life that was meant for me

Incubator baby bottle dead father foster home

Drunk uncle ass whooping, lot of stress wrote a song

Pouring more pain upon older pain blaming God

Blaming y'all, blaming all but (the mirror here is at fault?)

On the pillows cotton I felt forgotten on all the missed birthdays till I regret the day gone

Hate for em′ adolescent years learned about the one

Same bloodline, strange fruit them niggas hung

Segregated tailgated fit the description bail ate it

Diploma momma proud Cory graduated

The real world surely have to face it

Horny and we both wasted had to taste it

Had a girl she forgave God is good

Now we same bases places in my life

I write scattered arrangements between perforated pages

This is me, a pen, my thoughts, and parallel space it's me

I done gave out my each and every did what was necessary

Cried when my heart was heavy, died when my pops was buried

Water on my cold face beat a case God helped

Illegal ducking cops there froze in a cold cell

Slumbered on that park bench rose when I found hell

Watch the Lupus in the bones hope to see moms well

Pray for my sins in it sins came in repetition

Dealt with public opinion kept my shoulder chipped up

Party hard by the bar stressed got my dick sucked

Hit the streets flip a beat pop the trunk quick buck

Apologize show fear, couple wise words shared

Rain buckets of pain believe they were tall tears

This is me at least to my peers wasted them days

Wish the lord could return years

Believe the spiritual disbelief physical

Got up in the both and bled life with the lyricals
