[Hook]
I bear my soul so the whole world can know
And I don't hide nothing each line something resides f** a disguise it's like
The whole world can know
And I'll just let it be, you do you homie I'm trying to be a better me
[Verse 1]
Born and raised by two separate mothers
Never loved another like the second cuz the first sh** never heard from her
I didn't discover I was different till they slipped and called me a n***a
It figures had to develop to get the picture
But now it's clear as day, when I was younger my mother would say
Though not in this home skin tone can take away
From what you deserve so just learn to be bold and grow old
Well mama just know I bear my soul so
[Hook]
The whole world can know
And I don't hide nothing each line something resides f** a disguise it's like
The whole world can know
And I'll just let it be, you do you homie I'm trying to be a better me
[Verse 2]
I never wanna be that father without a son
So engulfed in moonshine when she pa**ed due time his plan was to run
I understand it was fun and wasn't meant to last
But a man is not what happens what makes a man is how he reacts
Adapt, sh** don't b**h up I've been in that position
When you slip up and she fill up only you wound up missing
In a town of strangers she had me, and I'm glad see
The fact that you were never my dad made me a man and see
[Hook]
The whole world can know
And I don't hide nothing each line something resides f** a disguise it's like
The whole world can know
And I'll just let it be, you do you homie I'm trying to be a better me
[Verse 3]
If I don't have this I got nothing left in so much debt I'm bout to break
I hate it when someone tells me they ain't bought a CD in years
Like what the f** my peers have jobs and families
I can't even make a dime off of my soul I bled on these
Pages and it's been ages since I've seen the silver lining
Despair is piling up, the industry's declining
And it seems within my dreams within my sea of hope is capsizing
Rap's dying with no plan B I laugh crying
[Hook]
The whole world can know
And I don't hide nothing each line something resides f** a disguise it's like
The whole world can know
And I'll just let it be, you do you homie I'm trying to be a better me
[Verse 4]
At least my girl loves me and she treats me like a king
And well I guess as much as ends don't meet I wouldn't change a thing
The lack of funds and stress is better than being depressed
It's a long way to the top but sh** at least I'm taking steps
And that's more than I can say for most of you
I'm supposed to do what pleases me not just settle for whatever comes easily
And see it's he who be the one to decide his fate
No hand outs man success is something you gotta take cuz see
[Hook]
The whole world can know
And I don't hide nothing each line something resides f** a disguise it's like
The whole world can know
And I'll just let it be, you do you homie I'm trying to be a better me
Whole world can know
Whole world can know
Whole world can know
Whole world can know
