Who I Need To Be

Who I need to be
Is something that I'm not
Every day seems to be a challenge
I'm even doubting myself when it comes to releasing this album
However when I think of what I had to do to release this project
I'm kind of in disbelief
That I went out of my way to continue with this project
After how much doubt and anxiety I had towards others opinions of it
But it's okay
I feel proud, excited
It's something I can claim as mine and that's
Something to celebrate
After feeling so lost and drained these last 4 years
I kept working at it
And now you've listened to it
And I hope you've enjoyed it
And I hope you can take something from this
That you can set out to find and do something
That truly makes you happy
Something that gets you away from how you've been feeling
Something you can look back at
Even through the rough times
And be proud of your progress
Anyway, I hope that one day I can be who I need to be
But for now, I am who I want to be

I'll leave you with this
Four years later I still don't have my priorities straight
I'm tryna stay youthful and be with people that got the same vibe
Although I don't talk to many people
And I still got problems comprehending why
Tryna get past personal limits
While memories of my passions and shortcomings echo in my head
No longer dealing with the lies from deceitful people
And I wonder if karma has to do with it
Tryna have a set notion and at least try to be who I need to be
The most important thing that I learned from all of this
Is that I gotta remember who I am and be a good influence to others
That's who I need to be

Thank you
