[Verse 1: DDay]
I never did what my mama told me
And now it seems like the d** got a hold of me
Say a prayer, say a rosary
But don't be going through the motions with me
I got emotions, too
And lately I don't like what these emotions do
Got a monster growing in me that I never knew
And it's got me doing things that I would never do
Well I'm through
But now I'm like, “Who the f** is Daniel?”
As I sit down, staring at the blunt on this mantle
Enough of the hypocrisy, I'm done with mediocrity
I'm planting the seeds in hopes to reap a dollar tree
But for now, I just need a moment
Cruel world got me acting all stoic
This is life as I know it
Thoughts of a once dead poet, I own it
[Hook: DDay]
Let me be myself
All I need is myself
Let me be myself
Can I be myself?
Let me be myself
All I need is myself
Let me be myself
Let me be
[Verse 2: Moses]
I've been repressin' depression
Wrestlin' with my reflection
But upon a closer inspection
My identity flip-flops in seconds
Feeling alone and neglected
Outside, I don't even stress it
But inside, it's all I'm addressing, like
SOS please get the message
This is the realest sh** I ever wrote
Locked in a jail cell and I want to go home
Hug my mom, stop crying, and tell my little bro
“If you start living a lie, then that's all that you own”
Maybe I'll become a good role model
If I stop looking for answers in a bottle
I'm f**ing done drinking at full throttle
That'll Let Me Be the rap Aristotle
[Hook]
[Spoken Word Verse: DDay]
It's funny how the weather can change a person
I used to think people could never change, but
We change everyday
I go to bed a different person then when I woke up
It's 'cause there is this gray area
Of who we are, and who we want to be
We are stuck looking into the mirror
Instead of looking into our own selves
We all want to change the world
But we're frightened of how much the world has actually changed us
But there's still time, there's still hope
And when all else fails remember that
You are the one in control
You are the one that can make a difference
sh**, you are the difference
'Cause in the end the only one that can be you is
Well, you
[Hook]
