Sometimes I think I was born to be a sinner Like J cole L.P In high school we all bumped Cole man Y'all couldn't tell me sh**, I was like seventeen just got the whip Used to burn the mixed cd and ride around smoke weed Was tryna make a profit But I couldn't do the math Now my words speak life Shoutout to my homie Av And just last week someone pointed out what I didn't have But if I had listen to those role models I would still be in cla** I grew up in the suburbs Where they keep you on a path Where the value of a dollar was something that most kids couldn't grasp Music and culture A place about business and vultures Where the idea of a rap album Was some sh** that made people laugh I knew I didn't fit in So I never went to cla** Spent a lot of time in the city And I identified with that We all come from different backgrounds man you don't know the half We can all see eye to eye when it comes to laying down a track When I was younger the white kids would laugh and say I was acting black The black kids would call me a f*g until they heard me on a track It's all good Cuz I exist At least I have that Just loop this piano and sh** man But I be all bad [ Hook ] Maybe what you think I do is stupid But it really means a lot to me And I'm sorry I didn't see you last week We didn't evenget a chance to speak But you know this sh** was hard growing up But you know it's all good now Baby it's me And I promise I won't change for the world Let's all try and be the best we can be Cuz it's all good now it's all good Don't think about it even though you should Just let it go Cuz we got you Don't let me go Cuz I got you The other day I saw my high school teacher and he was like "hey How are things going Cam? I heard they're going great" Everyone 'round here's proud of you for taking that break From college, even though we all thought that it was a mistake My other friend texted me asking how I was doing She said "how 'bout those plans for college? Are those all ruined?" I guess it takes a lot for people to believe in you But that just motivated me To go say f** your degree You gotta grind a little bit harder man Just wait you'll all see In like 3 years with a buyin' I was still so me Am I ever gonna make it? What do they say about me? I'll probably never get the respect I feel that I deserve be Now there's E-Mail's and messages like "I'm so proud of you" From the same people that once said "look Cam I'm doubting you" At sixteen I let em' know what I was about to do And they laughed well guess what look The joke's on you [ Hook ]
