Lyrics
[Verse 1]
M-A-R-L-A-N-N-A
My birth name, my purse name the same as my cloth grade
A real G, I'm Gucci
The pressure made a ruby
The disrespect gon' make you meet the rude me
Been too peace, in a two-piece
I found peace on an island in the southeast
Single, solo, but I ain't ringless, I drive the Audi like Tyrese
My soul attached to me like a Siamese
Besides these under ratings, I'm flawed
I cried tears out my eyes like Viola Davis, Fencing
The one they call boring, still boarding
I'm unseen, I'm morphine, I tried to ease your pain
Now I'm morphing, some never change, I had to
My blueprint come with new wings
I made room for M. E. where the M's be
I feel a way like Embiid
E-M wit' a I-T, I told them on E-V-E
Light, I was gon' shine this time
I'ma put that on ME, on the homies, I'ma hone me
Right or wrong, ducking stones thrown, David wit' the Roc, screaming, "Suck deez"
I'm a nut case, unbelievable, like false accusers, rapists, they scream rape
Does history repeat like Emmit's? Hmm, I hesitate
Conflicting, wanting the guilty to receive karma and conviction
May innocent get redemption
Did Michael really do it?
I know media's influence
Forgive me for my doubts, but too many times, it's been proven
How men lie, women lie
Lies run the world before the truth ties its shoes
What's real? What's illusion?
Can you tell me?
[Outro]
Whatever you understand it to me
See you next appointment
[Outro]
Who am I in this reality?
Who am I without accolades and huge salary?
Fuck all that noise
Who am I if they don't love me back the same as I came to love them?
Shame for picking me over living a fantasy
That's their loss
Who am I without the views? (Yeah)
The point of view is that point and choose to judge who's worth it based on who you date, and Birkins
I was told if they don't wanna be or fuck you, it's not workin' (Fuck)
Who am I without the churches? (Yeah)
Who am I without these verses? (Yeah)
Ain't met a verse on Earth or in the Metaverse
Better keep searching still
Tryna find my way out without appeal
I've used the n-word more than going inward, how does that feel? (Fucked up)
To be this naked, tryna find my way out the matrix for real
Who am I?
Who am I? Who am I?
