Can I Be Me |
| Can I be me? |
| Can I do what I do? |
| Can I, freak my style? |
| 'Cause it ain’t nothing like you |
| Can I walk my own path? |
| Dude you, step out my shoes! |
| You done been where I been, you did paid all my dues? |
| Plus you, rap with El' yet both of you equal |
| You got, something to say, you in the D with your people, yeah! |
| You are not me, and I’m not you |
| Just, give me space nigga, just move! |
| I, rep the D, the way I do |
| I can’t be you, I won’t be you |
| I got soul in me, that’s older than you |
| I got my man’s with me, we colder than you |
| Can I, be all that a nigga can be? |
| Can I, show you places that you never would see? |
| Can I, ball out, and never look at receipts? |
| Can I, sit back in a luxury seat? |
| Can you respect who I am? |
| 'Cause I love to be me |
| But I hate those dudes who’s trying to be me |
| Be with me, or be against me |
| But don’t be fake, keep it real with me, get me? |
| See what I see? |
| Then walk with me, walk with me |
| Feel what I feel? |
| Then talk to me, talk to me |
| Live where I live, and go with me, go with me |
| Yeah, I’mma show you where I’m from, where I’m from |
| See what I see? |
| Then walk with me, walk with me |
| Feel what I feel? |
| Then talk to me, talk to me |
| Live where I live, and go with me, go with me |
| I’mma show you where I’m from, where I’m from |
| I’mma show you where I’m from, where I’m from |
| I’mma show you where I’m from, where I’m from |
| I’mma show you where I’m from, where I’m from |
| I’mma show you where I’m from, where I’m from |
| Can I, share with you everything in my soul? |
| From what I, hear in my ears when clearing my nose |
| From what my, eyes have seen, what I’ve felt with my hands |
| What, my heart has felt, when I fail to understand Why, we be going through it, |
| just barely getting by |
| Wake up from nightmares, up early getting high |
| Just trying to forget I had a dream |
| I was chased by a killer, I shot him, he fell |
| Turned him over, his face was familiar |
| But let me knock on wood |
| Yo, you’re supposed to keep your, enemies close |
| That go for every block or hood |
| I, would like to walk inside a church and not feel guilty |
| Paying my tithes with dirty money, every bill’s filthy |
| I hate to feel like I’m alone on this earth |
| Like my mother, with no support through my moments of birth |
| And I know that I shouldn’t be relying on sess' |
| But every time I get high, I get wild with stress |
| But Lord, I want to walk in the steps of your son |
| But it’s hard when they pull your card, and your weapon’s a gun |
| There’s no exception, and dumb niggas, they can get it too |
| Leave they condition critical, maybe I’m just a fool |
| But can you speak through me, and teach the ones under me? |
| Already thinking this is all they ever gonna see |
| Cops hitting the block, and niggas on the corner flee |
| What a poor ghetto child’ll do for a G |
| See what I see? |
| Then walk with me, walk with me |
| Feel what I feel? |
| Then talk to me, talk to me |
| Live where I live, and go with me, go with me |
| Yeah, I’mma show you where I’m from, where I’m from |
| See what I see? |
| Then walk with me, walk with me |
| Feel what I feel? |
| Then talk to me, talk to me |
| Live where I live, and go with me, go with me |
| I’mma show you where I’m from, where I’m from |
| I’mma show you where I’m from, where I’m from |
| I’mma show you where I’m from, where I’m from |
| I’mma show you where I’m from, where I’m from |
| I’mma show you where I’m from, where I’m from |
