They say I'm young, but my purpose is the inspiration Till I change the talking to a conversation I'm like the doctor and my patients are anxiously waitin Healin all the hatin that's fakin in the paperchasin It's hard to live up to these expectations that I'm facin And gain the admiration of an older generation That's why I'm pacin back and forth How to use what I've been taught as a positive force
This is who I am (It's all me yall) I wish you'd understand (I feel free yall) No matter what I do (They try to stop me) I'm still a part of you (But they can't stop me)
I wanna be the greatest in the world Not for the money or the fame or the girls Not for the car keys and the jet skis Or the vacations in the West Indies But simply cause I love it When I write I'm like a puppeteer Pullin my strings till the melody sings and the honesty makes me spread my wings Callin me out was out your mind Send that thought back down your spine I'm on the ground its all on the line When I say both ways at the same time Most days I can't wait to rhyme Express my stress elevate the shine Progress regress each step to climb So I take that test and I testify
This is who I am (It's all me yall) I wish you'd understand (I feel free yall) No matter what I do (They try to stop me) I'm still a part of you (But they can't stop me)
Cause my intentions were good If you could only see that poetry could hide in the hood The passion and philosophy of possibilities Every dream is in my reach I found my freedom in this beat Follow me now to break new grounds Follow your pride I make you proud Follow my life I live out loud We just preach to different crowds
