I Am

Let me tell you I am
Everything I am
I’m just going hella hard
I’m just staying on my job
I’m just doing everything I can
Let me tell you I am
The only one up in my life who knows me
I know I’m just a youngin', but I’m tryna be the O. G
I’m tryna tell my friends, «you can do anything you want,»
«You can light the world on fire, don’t just fire up a blunt»
And I don’t get it
I don’t know why they want to be that
And every time you look into the future, don’t you see that?
This shit could just disappear, I can see it crystal clear
Promises get broken every day like Grandma’s chandelier
Hanging from the ceiling in the room that I was living
On 21st and Park, it was a blessing, what a feeling
I started to neglect the fact
She just wants respect and conversations filled with lots of intellect, but
Let me tell you I am
Everything I am
I’m just going hella hard
I’m just staying on my job
I’m just doing everything I can
Let me tell you I am
I am my mother’s oldest
No disrespect to little bro but I’m my mother’s coldest
It’s time for me to lift the weight that lay upon your shoulders
Shit, I ain’t sitting on an M, but got enough to hold us
Off what you showed us
I’m young but the homie made a name
You see me at my lowest points, but you remain the same
I’m chasing money, chasing women, and I’m chasing fame
Man, I done drove myself crazy tryna make a lane
I’m out of touch with my brother, this shit just ain’t the same
I’m balls deep in the broth, so I couldn’t make his game
I’m doing everything I can to try to break his pain
He only 12, I’m 23, so I’ve got space to change
I can’t complain
I’m not a shooter, but I know how to kill
And I’m a lover, so I know how to feel
No, I don’t play, but I know how to deal
It’s all good 'till a hoe gotta chill
They say if you don’t love yourself, man, nobody will
Go tell your ex that
And she’ll accept that
Tell her to always keep it real
Ain’t no time for setbacks
Don’t try to take my ass to court, asking where the check at
She know I love my fucking kids, and she best respect that
Never neglect that
Talking to my dudes, trying to get my mind together
It seem like nowadays, we don’t spend no time together
I know you worry about me
I’m always up to something
Shit, maybe I’m the reason you don’t got a fucking husband
Cause I’m overprotective, and I’m over-aggressive
If he don’t get to stepping, I’m reaching for my weapon
You know I’m only playing, but don’t leave that shit to question
That’s word to my nigga Zayn, cause it’s more than one direction
I’m always on the go, though
I’m always doing promo
You always crack a smile when they ask me for a photo
Know you ain’t hear the album
But you be at the show, though
Yeah, you be with my brother right behind me, like the logo
I am
Let me tell you I am
Everything I am
I’m just staying on my job
I’m just going hella hard
I’m just doing everything I can
Let me tell you I am
