| I ain’t the same nigga that I once was
|
| I lost my fucking mind and then I fell in love
|
| I did a bunch of drugs because I can’t sleep
|
| I lost a couple months, I chipped my fucking teeth
|
| And there’s a couple women, and they know some things
|
| About lies I done told and shit that I did said
|
| And niggas that I robbed, so I’m real paranoid
|
| I have voices in my head
|
| Hi, my name is Merlyn
|
| I just applied for food stamps
|
| I just moved to California with my boy band
|
| Dropped of a good school
|
| Used to wanna sell coke
|
| And whip an Audi Coupe crazy if i did that
|
| Wouldn’t be talking to you
|
| Walking through the pit balls
|
| Crazy how you get them letters
|
| And then make you feel the
|
| Walking 'round the campus and
|
| You’re the only african
|
| Nobody would
|
| Well…
|
| I gotta get better at being me
|
| (Being who I am)
|
| I gotta get better at everything
|
| (Being who I am)
|
| I just want a friend that I can hang out with
|
| (Being who I am)
|
| Someone I can sit around, lay on my couch with
|
| (Being who I am)
|
| Even since I moved out I’ve been poor
|
| Ever since I grew up I’ve been ugly
|
| Ooh, and it get me some dollar
|
| Dollar, dollar bills y’all
|
| Ever since I left my momma house I’ve been mad as hell at the world
|
| Sometimes you don’t get around when you feel it
|
| Sometimes belly has a fell of fucking
|
| Sometimes I wish that my fucking phone would fucking ring
|
| And go off, and wake a nigga up
|
| I’m used to being sad
|
| And I’m used to being down
|
| I’m used to being used
|
| I miss my boy being around
|
| I gotta get better at being me
|
| (Being who I am)
|
| I gotta get better at everything
|
| (Being who I am)
|
| I just want a friend that I can hang out with
|
| (Being who I am)
|
| Someone I can sit around, lay on my couch with
|
| (Being who I am)
|
| Droppin' on a one day
|
| I just wanna be somebody someday
|
| Droppin' on a world way
|
| I just wanna be somebody someday
|
| Droppin' on a one day
|
| I just wanna be somebody someday
|
| Droppin' on a one way
|
| I just wanna be somebody someday
|
| I gotta get better at being me
|
| (Being who I am)
|
| I gotta get better at everything
|
| (Being who I am)
|
| I just want a friend that I can hang out with
|
| (Being who I am)
|
| Someone I can sit around, lay on my couch with
|
| (Being who I am)
|
| for motivation of smaller things
|
| But baby steps to my faster dreams
|
| I’ve been told I’m too transparent with my thoughs sometimes
|
| So I wrote songs until they pass, and I can fall in line
|
| I fell apart the moment that you thought you found yourself
|
| 'Cause I knew at that point I couldn’t be on the equation anymore
|
| But moving on with broke your hearts
|
| We’ll show you everything you need to see about yourself to start moving forward
|
| So many things I wanna say that I’m not sure need to be known
|
| But everybody swears they fucking know me
|
| So I, on the table
|
| At that point I wonder what they’d show me
|
| I almost lost my father
|
| Still surreal for me to think about
|
| Considering how many of my friends have lost theirs
|
| I never know if what I say is the right thing
|
| If not, I’m it’s all fair when it’s not you
|
| Some people have angels
|
| What if only shadows follow you?
|
| And all the ghosts inside that seem hollow you
|
| The branches of the weeping willow start to swallow you
|
| And then you realize you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be
|
| The horizon clear
|
| You wipe your tears
|
| And all the skeletons are ready for your story |
