Reputation

I have a reputation to uphold
I'm use to only doing what I'm told
That hasn't led to anywhere close enough to get me to my goals
I think it's time for me to be bold

I am who I am cause I've done what I did
You are who you are cause you've done what you did
We are who we are cause we done what we did
We are who we are
We are who we are

Who am I
You reply
Just a guy no one knows is alive
Hurt my pride
Give me mine you give me mine
Look at me with dirty eyes like whites in 1965
Move into the city blind
Only place for me is to
Wake up, breathe, clock in, clock out
Eat, sleep. rinse and repeat
It's an eight bar loop stuck in an eighty year phase
Unless you slang rock or hoop
That song will play for the rest of your days
But I'm working
Graveyard shifts til the graveyard even then
I'll be walking dead 'til it pays off
Try and cash me a reality check
I'll avoid with a void check
I'm devoid of a voice yet
'Til I get mine, put in time like 6'9
Without all the snitching
Grind like 2014 Seahawks
I'm Marshawn Lynching and I'm
Done with your guidelines
Don't need your lifeline
Can't spend my lifetime on the sidelines
And can't nobody tell me what I ain't gone be no more
You're thinking I'mma fall
Don't be so sure

Hey I'mma put it all on the line
I think the whole world could be mine
Behind the scenes I've been working overtime on overtime
I know it's time for me to be bold

I am who I am cause I've done what I did
You are who you are cause you've done what you did
We are who we are cause we done what we did
We are who we are
We are who we are
