Lyrics

[Verse 1]
See him flossing in that metal
The game's in a higher level
Dementors, we into several
You see, we get them together
[Verse 2]
DIY, the verse be swanging
Bangers, bangers he slanging
Show on point, he's slaying me
Wasn't always this way, in fact
[Verse 3]
Brown boy, slanted eyes
Bleach stained sweatsuit
Throwing water on me
In the middle school restroom
[Verse 4]
Only brown hair
In my ninth grade play
Thirteen, walking
In the streets of UK
[Verse 5]
And maybe there's a lesson I've been given
Or some wisdom from the stories that I need to tell
(I need to tell)
And everybody's hoping and scraping and wishing
They could be something outside themselves
[Verse 6]
If I can be me
Then you can be yourself
May not be easy
[Verse 7]
It's like we're never satisfied
(Right?)
It's like we're never satisfied
(Right?)
[Verse 8]
Got a lot with the namesake
Don't stay the same, change, like, every day
Got a lot with the namesake
Won't stay the same, change, like, every day
[Verse 9]
Smiling through the vicious
A puzzle piece never fit in the
New thread he was given
To weave a singular vision
[Verse 10]
Could never be avaricious
Instead of quiet and vicious
No reason but to resist it
I hated to sound fictitious
[Verse 11]
So, I'm not quitting, they stay squinting
Try to dictate it like they not liberty
Open about their truths spilling
Don't buck like a deer when shots hit 'em
[Verse 12]
No formula one, this path that you're on
We all gotta make our own living
Cry out loud, but stay hidden
Fear to fail, so good riddance
[Verse 13]
And maybe there's a lesson I've been given
Or some wisdom from the stories that I need to tell
And everybody's hoping and scraping and wishing
They could be something outside themselves
[Verse 14]
If I can be me
Then you can be yourself
May not be easy
[Verse 15]
It's like we're never satisfied
(Right?)
It's like we're never satisfied
(Right?)
[Verse 16]
Got a lot with the namesake
Don't stay the same, change, like, every day
Got a lot with the namesake
Won't stay the same, change, like, every day
[Verse 17]
My homie said, you can't see me
In February, he freed me
Cleared my head of debris
And we shattered my boundaries
[Verse 18]
And the lower degree was healing
Winter was sorely needed
Like Pakistan, I seceded
My leaving won't be repeated
[Verse 19]
Never read for them tight roles
My eyes looked where the sky goes
So rare like albinos
Poachers, we zoom right by those
[Verse 20]
Few in number like rhinos
Reaching up for them high notes
Study me like your bible
Cats fall in line like I'm vinyl
[Verse 21]
Now maybe there's a lesson I've been given
Or some wisdom from the stories that I need to tell
And everybody's hoping and scraping and wishing
They could be something outside themselves
[Verse 22]
If I can be me
Then you can be yourself
Might not be easy
[Verse 23]
It's like we're never satisfied
(Right?)
It's like we're never satisfied
(Right?)
[Verse 24]
Got a lot with the namesake
Don't stay the same, change, like, every day
Got a lot with the namesake
Won't stay the same, change, like, every day
[Verse 25]
Now maybe there's a lesson I've been given
Or some wisdom from the stories that I need to tell
Everybody's hoping and scraping and wishing
They could be something outside themselves
[Verse 26]
If I can be me
Then you can be yourself
May not be easy
[Verse 27]
It's like we're never satisfied
