lyrics

[Chorus]
I don’t want to be the same
I don’t want to be like
I don’t want to sound like
I just want to be me

[Verse 1]
Ayo, I don’t want to sound like
the same old comparison cuz yo it’s straight embarrassing
That I can’t shine the way that I’m supposed to
Even though I’m working hard day and night with hopes to
Rise above the rough terrain yo aint it strange
When I look into the mirror I can hear your name
Calling me, like I’m supposed to be you
And imitate wait, but no no no that ain’t true
Cuz I got a calling and I know it my chromsomes
Been chasing reached higher feeling all alone
No one to push or forward my momentum
Effected with the venom so I thought it was the ending
So tired of pretending that everything’s ok
Cuz inside I’m falling apart so afraid
Of the failure and all the bad sorts
My hand’s reaching out but like I feel it… cut short

[Verse 2]
I’m so sorry, speak my mind and my sob stories
I just want to be real and have some appeal to your auditory
Cuz I ain’t got bling or material things
I got a family to support and friends who really need me
And apparently I’m battlin’ flesh appoint a cold death
And take a deep breath in the night with slow steps
I’ll make it far if I stay upon the right path
And do the math, reaching out into the lower class
I see that something in my reflection as I’m reflecting
Thinking about the recession as I’m regressing
Regretting, I ain’t got time now
Me and Myself, I know its been a long while
But that voice ain’t haunting me again I guarantee it
I’m chasing after vision till I feel and I see it
So fresh like a filet, no commentary delay
I’m one with the calling now, message fully relayed… relayed
