Imma Be Me

Lord bless me for this
Right now I ask
That you watch over me
And let my words cut deep
Let these people understand what I'm saying Lord
Let em know
That I'm serious
Amen
Easy Listening for Hard Times
Even though during hard times
Listening ain't always easy
You know what I mean?
Unh

I was never supposed to make it
Never
But you can't hide a black sheep in sunlight
My skin now tough as leather
My sights on 20-20
Just gotta put two together
But my foresights is like a hawk
So my 20-2 vision better
I thank God for my BM
We had two kids together
Those two kids saved my life
I'm indebted to them forever
If someone put hands on em
I'm puttin two-two together
Double up it's a four-four
Don't expose em until I blast that nigga
Call me North Korea cause ICBMs and get em
I'm leaving my genes on em won't let it get on my linen
Every time I'm in they city
They find they-self in my DM
They begging I come and D em
They niggas need better defense
And this was never a pretense
With bitches I never pretend
I'd cut and shine diamonds weekly
And cut em off by the weekend
While single I used to see em
And use a magnum to free em
By blowing they brains out
Just to leave them without a reason
I had some homies turn they back
And start talking that shit about me
But my moral GPS ain't allowing that to re-route me
They never thought I would make it
It's not my fault that they doubt me
My input lead to success so they couldn't do it without me
Soul Classic and DeeTay round me
The Masters are out here sounding
The critics say I'm astounding
These labels been trynna scout me
Imma diamond in the rough
I was raw and uncut
But by cutting that shit around me
I stood out from how they found me nigga
Hold up
No verse can comprehend
I thank the Lord couldn't do this without Him
Spread the word about a nigga
Straight out of LA and breaking bread
With all of his people like he was born in Bethlehem
Formerly was engaged
Shout out to my exancé
Was going on 7 years
That's the longest I've ever stayed
But the way she started talking
I was sitting there counting dates
To see if we could jump the broom
Or she'd throw that broom at my face
I cut them other women off
Cause she thought that she couldn't trust me
One minute my girl was cuffing
The next minute she was judging
No lawyers in civil suits
And our past was her living proof
When she said nigga you wouldn't have done it
If your cheating ass truly loved me
So I gave her a pedestal cause I was trynna see eye to eye
I got tired of looking down on her
Holding old shit above me
Now it's either fuck you or love me
Cause now a nigga been bubbling
So many people know of me so trust me cause

I don't know about y'all
But I know about me
And imma be that nigga 'til a nigga kill me
Nigga imma be me
Nigga imma be me
I don't know about y'all
But I know about me
And imma be that nigga 'til a nigga kill me
Nigga imma be me
Imma be me

I don't know about y'all but I lived a hard life
I done seen hard days
I done seen long nights
I done ran a good race
I done fought a hard fight
Now I'm trynna see a couple million in my sight
Nigga tell me bought the life
I can tell you bought the struggle
Cause them two faced niggas make a nigga see double
I done seen family turn
Seen my ex and homies couple
I done damn near seen it all nigga
Call me the Hubble
I done seen some blood shed
I done shed a couple tears
I done a poured a lotta liquor for my niggas through the years
I done took a lot of drugs
I done drank a lot of beers
And while under the influence
Overcame a lotta fears
Seen a couple bad bitches turn they backs on me
Go and fuck with bitch niggas
Then come running back to me
I done took them hoes in
I done played into they greed
But with them same bitch niggas
Cheated on me
Don't come running back to me cause I can't put you on a show
I showed a lot of emotion never show em at a show
I done sold a few dreams
Seen the future unfold
Paid the cost be the boss
You know that price was my soul
Nigga tell me what you know
Imma tell you what it isn't
If you wanna see me
You better keep some sniper vision
Cause I watch my enemies close
While I keep my family distant
Nigga imma go hard
Or I'm going to a prison

I don't know about y'all
But I know about me
And imma be that nigga 'til a nigga kill me
Nigga imma be me
Yeah
Yeah that nigga be me
Damn
And I don't know about y'all
But I know that I'm me
And I'll never bow down
Unless it's at God's feet
Nigga Imma be me
Said nigga Imma be me
Said nigga Imma be me
Shit

I tell ya, I know
I know when it'll catch up with you
When you when you
When you find yourself
Fifty years old
And don't have a hundred dollars
No good
