and what the time's givin' me
I'm just tryin' to live the type of life
Flaws and all, pardon y 'all
I don't wanna come off too timidly
Tend to be more outspoken
Rap star imagery, rock star mimicry
Minute we get up on the charge,
five minutes starts literally
It could be your life, but this is me
Hey, I don't care what they say
I'm just me at the end of the day
the mirror ain't mine, y 'all
Cause this is me, this is me, this is me
Tryin' not to let the bullshit get to me
Cause this is me, this is me
I just wanna live the life
Drunk uncle, ass whoopin',
lotta stress, wrote a song
Pourin' more pain upon all the pain
blamin' y 'all, blamin' all
But the mirror teared to fall
I felt forgotten on all the missed birthdays
till I re gret the daybomb
Hate form, adolescent years,
learned about the one same bloodline
Strange fruit, them niggas hung
fit the description, bail aided
Diploma, mama, prayer, Corey graduated
The real world, surely have to face it
Horny and we both wasted, had to taste it
Had a girl, she forgave, God is good,
I write scattered arrangements
my thoughts in parallel spaces, me
Hey, I don't care what they say
I'm just me at the end of the day
the mirror ain't my y 'all
Cause this is me, this is me, this is me
Tryin' not to let the bullshit get to me
Cause this is me, this is me
I just wanna live the life
I done gave out my each and every day
cried when my heart was heavy,
died when my pops was buried,
then froze in a cold cell,
slumbered on that park bench
watched the lupus in the bones,
prayed for my sins and then
dealt with public opinion,
kept my shoulder chipped up,
stress got my dick sucked,
hit the streets, flip a beat,
pop the trunk, quick buck,
apologize job to show fear,
share rainbuckets of pain,
believe they were tall tens, this is me,
at least to my peers, wasted them days,
wish the Lord could return years,
I blend life with the lyricals.
Hey, I don't care what they say,
I'm just me at the end of the day,
The mirror ain't lying y 'all
Cause this is me, this is me, this is me
Tryin' not to let the bullshit get to me
Cause this is me, this is me
I just wanna live the life
