Who I Am
We leave our secrets behind
On the darkest nights sometimes
We must return to those places
Because a man… is not what he thinks
A man… is what he hides
I don’t even know where I'm headed
I just wanna get there
I don't wanna live how I'm livin'
"Dope" on my t-shirt
I just wanna do my thing
True to the mood I'm in i'mma be who I am
Sell it to the kids and the crew
They rep and they fuck with it
I don't wanna be another
Rapper with a gimmick
I just wanna keep it real
With the people who'll listen
I ain't gonna follow a trend
'cause I'm a leader i ain't gonna pray to a
God I don't believe it, jesus!
I don’t even know where I'm at
But, I know where I been
Yeah, I know where I been
And I'm not goin' back
'Cause the shit that I got into
Was some hella bad things
Strippers and bikers and pistols and psychics
And flippin' the white shit, the bitches
I hope I'm forgiven
I hope my mama don't hear this one
She thought that I was at work
I was dealin' out blow
I would take it back if I could
Then again, probably not
You ain't gonna change how I feel
This is who I am
I don't even know where I'm headed
I just wanna get there
I don't wanna live how I'm livin'
"Dope" on my t-shirt
I just wanna do my thing
True to the mood I'm in i'mma be who I am
Sell it to the kids and the crew
They rep and they fuck with it
I don't even know where I'm headed
I just wanna get there
I don't wanna live how I'm livin'
"Dope" on my t-shirt
I just wanna do my thing
True to the mood I'm in i'mma be who I am
Sell it to the kids and the crew
They rep and they fuck with it
Don't wanna be another white
Rapper with a habit
Eminem did it already, just let him have it
I wanna be an artist with
Opinions Picasso or da Vinci
With a sprinkle o' politics and whiskey
I'mma do me
Made it out the gutter with a brand new dream
Make it up to everyone who still ain't free
Everywhere I go like
"Free those mothafuckas!"
I don't wanna limit my potential with a genre
Took a couple bullets and made
It home to my mama
I don't wanna measure what I'm
Worth by some dollars
Gold on my teeth, though! (Heh)
They want me to fit in a package
So my demographic will purchase the album
It's not that I don't understand it
I know it's a business
I'm stuck in the middle like Malcolm
I'm realer than that, though
Go deeper than that, though
I realize that our agreement contractual
I don't think that how I'm bein's irrational
Maybe we should just try keepin' it casual
Y'all don't gotta feel my thoughts
Y'all don't gotta hold my hand
Y'all don't gotta be my boss, now
This is who I am
I don't even know where I'm headed
I just wanna get there
I don't wanna live how I'm livin'
"Dope" on my t-shirt
I just wanna do my thing
True to the mood I'm in i'mma be who I am
Sell it to the kids and the crew
They rep and they fuck with it
I don't even know where I'm headed
I just wanna get there
I don't wanna live how I'm livin'
"Dope" on my t-shirt
I just wanna do my thing
True to the mood I'm in i'mma be who I am
Sell it to the kids and the crew
They rep and they fuck with it
They-they-they want me to fit in a package
(I don't even know where I'm headed)
So my demographic will purchase the album
(I just wanna get there)
(I don't wanna live how I'm livin')
("Dope" on my t-shirt)
Strippers and bikers and pistols and psychics

And flippin' the white shit, the bitches
(True to the mood I'm in)
