I Am What I Am

Lyrics

(Verse 1) Early I rose Up earlier than the rooster [?] Living these highs and lows That's just the way it goes I clear my mind Chase these hours of borrowed time Been on the grind Since Nas told me the world is mine By any means Wan' ambition and chasing dreams Since I was in my teens Conflicted by the scenes, my niggas Even read and scription roll running schemes Finding that there ain't always golden Everything that gleams I collected my thoughts Chose my path and saved the course Setting my course to fly higher than astronauts Yeah, to my own way aware of all the risk Whether the clouds navigated through every mist Either we searching for forgiveness of the better things Barely knowing which way to go Was the pendulum swings I stand my ground, keep my bowels And made my pledge Almost verging on something great But living on the edge (Verse 2) Looking back through the years Memories of joy, sadness, desperation and tears Sometimes I, escape the world when I need a release Been real since the sun be rising in the east Dreamin' of [?] of the other side of evergreen The clearest pictures in my mind of things I've never seen Until we blinking, treading water verging on sinking Pivot between the line of [?] and overthinking I earn the bright is where I usually I find it hard to find the balance, maybe you'd agree To scared to ever, and back to where I used to be We buy the biggest change to show the world that we are free Ain't it a shame, all the struggle, just to maintain Life ain't been perfect, but we livin', how can I complain I take my aim, every night we pinky in the brain Making the plans to be the bitter like my middle name
