You see, the real me But I see, who I should be Who I am now, nah it's not good enough I'm everything you're not but to you that's just enough See I put so much pressure on myself to be like you 'Cause I'm afraid what they gone say when they see I'm not you So many people, man, they want to be just like me But if they saw my flaws So many people wouldn't like me But who am I to criticize how you created me? I see brokenness bit you see beauty in how you're shaping me You gave this breath of life and yea, I know I keep on blowing it But in my imperfections you get the glory you supposed to get
Nah I'm not perfect and that's just an understatement I can't do this w out you somebody underline that statement Yea I'm a leader and I know these people watch me If I make one mistake then they label this stuff hypocrisy But they don't even know what I been through And they don't even know where I came from If it wasn't for you always holding me down Then I know that I wouldn't have came up Yea And that's real talk, but they don't wanna hear that They just want more songs, they just want more rap They want a perfect album and a perfect artist But only the creator can define what perfect art is And truth be told man I'm my biggest critic See I'm too afraid to fail Cuz I don't think that I can win this But who do I serve, is it man or myself? Dang Maybe it's both I don't know all I know is I'm tryna be perfect and claim that I'm giving these people some hope but I'm losing my hope I know that it's not realistic I know that I'm broken I'm Ms. fix it I know I need help But I never will listen I'm running this race and I'm never gone finish If I ain't got you That's what I always say It's one thing to quote it Shoot but I don't act that way But to be real I'm just afraid to disappoint myself Not to mention God, my church and every body else But in the battle of my mind I hear your peaceful voice: "Daughter, I chose you way before I even had a choice And I accept you Even when you can't accept yourself You'll never be perfect that's why I defeated death When you cried your tears, I was the one who bottled them When you popped those pills I was the one who swallowed them I know you hit rock bottom So you bottle things but I am your rock The only thing sitting at the bottom is me See, I am your God I'm the greatest thing that can ever happen in your whole life You don't even know You don't even know You don't even know what it took for me to make you And have to turn around and break you so you can be who I made you And now you mad that I made you I paid a price to save you So you gotta let me, gotta let me, gotta let me change you
See, transitioning has so many phases Life is like a tour, so many stages And I know all you see is different faces But I promised you, mine, it never changes
I think it's time we had this conversation It's been on my mind, contemplating Gotta know what you say to me, yeah, yeah... Won't you speak to me? Crazy world we live in (?) You're always here listening I think it's time we had this conversation...Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
