Who I Am

i remember, what they told me
so many negative energy's wanna hold me
so many enemies telling me that i'm hopeless
i don't pretend to be anything, but roaches
tryna drag me down like they drag queens
so fake, create hate, and bad dreams
but i raised myself up in the attic
i've had it, granny made it happen, i'm rapping
and nbody put a stop to that
this ain't luck, i was stuck in a flster-rap
man, i'm not gonna flop, i adjust my cap
then i'm ready for the weather, yeah, i dust these tracks
open up my door, yeah, i'm ready for war
got enough ammunition, and i settle for more
like a storm raising the roof, ain't changing the roots
not stable, but tornado's always able to brew, like

i've been down, more than i've been up
this is the life i chose, it's the life i love
i don't know where i'm going, only where i've been
all that i remember, i remember
is i know who i am
(mads: before i had fans, my grandmother said you're gonna make it someday, one day)
is i know who i am
(mads: before i had fans, my grandmother said you're gonna make it someday, one day)
is i know who i am
i don't know where i'm going, only where i've been
all that i remember, i remember
is i know who i am

i seek what i can't see
and i speak with no plan b
i'm not in peace 'til i feel heat
underneath my feet
growing beast in me, showing freaks my streak
blowing breeze, turn cheek
and i increase my speed, now they plead for a piece
when i sneak my speech, up under this fake game
everybody do the same thing
tryna put a fcking chain on me
get a stage name, be lame, no brain, so they relate to it
i make it rain pain on these strange pssy's
i won't change, this whole game just got their nls bleached
and i raid the beat
not a dmn page in my way is safe from me
i can never stay, stage won't wait for me
so no matter what they pay on any fcking day
sorry, main, but it's not okay for me

i've been down, more than i've been up
this is the life i chose, it's the life i love
i don't know where i'm going, only where i've been
all that i remember, i remember
is i know who i am
(mads: before i had fans, my grandmother said you're gonna make it someday, one day)
is i know who i am
(mads: before i had fans, my grandmother said you're gonna make it someday, one day)
is i know who i am
i don't know where i'm going, only where i've been
all that i remember, i remember
is i know who i am

but do you know how it feels
not get a chance, and nbody believes?
walk around like a zombie with bills
i'm underground, but i sound like a mill
but i will keep water my plants
cause i ain't "sort of a man"
i'm 100 percent, and i am tougher than them
i can suffer in pain and still stuffin' a mffin
got nothin' but bustin' and buckin' this ham
media tell you to jump on a trend
if you don't wanna blend in, you can jump on train
if you don't wanna be friends, with these popular kids
if you don't wanna be a fan, of this popular sht
if you don't want weekends, full of popping them pills
if you don't want distance, from these positive feels
you gotta go be a man, start knock with your fist
being alive is a riot, i'm tired, but my desire is so much higher

i've been down, more than i've been up (yeah)
this is the life i chose, it's the life i love (uh)
i don't know where i'm going (nope), only where i've been (yeah)
all that i remember, i remember
is i know who i am
(mads: before i had fans, my grandmother said you're gonna make it someday, one day)
is i know who i am
(mads: before i had fans, my grandmother said you're gonna make it someday, one day)
is i know who i am
i don't know where i'm going (nah), only where i've been (yup)
all that i remember, i remember
is i know who i am

mads]
what i don't, what i don't, what i don't know
where to go, where to go, where to go, go (uh)
gotta show, gotta show, gotta show, show (what?)
she raised me good all alone (alone)
