Who am I supposed to
Be when the world burns to ash
I never really thought
About it,Till now
So tell me, just
[Verse 1: Visible]
What would you do
If you had to live stuck in the corner of your room
Commonly mistaken life as just something to lose
Often battled deja vu
The kid mentally picked on at school
Tell a day he snapped
And ripped on the kids supposed to be cool
You know them poster image gimmicks
Well he spit his two cents with resentment
It was his persistence that made a difference in his sentence
Because he was disgusted by his limits
He blew all them ships out of the water
Thank God, he took the time to get smarter
Enough to barter in the art, the sk**
The only thing to get them farther
Where he was going not even dreams could prosper
Traumatized by his teens, attacked by bothering fiends
The key was make the fiends believe the dream would leave
Till I burst out and startle em
I wasn't letting them make a full course meal out of me
That ain't the case
And I'll be dang for sure, if they thinking of changing my fate
I have my destiny in place, and I'm ain't playing bait
Look at all of what I have at stake
-----------Chorus-----------
I don't know who you think you are
But you ain't pulling me down
No more (No!)
I will always rise
Just as I will always fly
I'm not living for your expectations
I'm my own person
Individually living
This life I've been given
I don't just dream
I make it happen
And I promise you, I will make it rapping
No matter how many times I have to step in crap, an
Become the person I'm meant to be made
And Escape!
-----------Chorus-----------
Who am I supposed to be
When the world burns to ash
I never really thought
About it
Tell now, I'll tell you, just
[Verse 2: Visible]
What I have to say
I'm not going to sit here and listen everyday
You tell me I'll never break away in escape
I opened my blinds, you will open your eyes
Lend me your ear, and clear mind
Because I look at the sky to see the sun rays align
So shut up, listen, and shine
What's glistening up there is practically mine
Just cuz I decided to practice some rhymes
And not sit on my tail
To get what I wanted out of this life
It started with a dream I prayed would happen
Then I started to hustle and grind
Every time
Even when I felt like I couldn't see any signs
I didn't want to live to die for no purpose at all
Know that I never looked to my future and saw
What I was supposed to do
You just gotta pick up your feet
And let him fall in your own shoes
Do whatcha gotta do
Who am I supposed to be
When the world burns to ash
I never really thought
About it
T-T-T-Tell now
[Verse 3: Visible]
What would you do if you lived in a world that's crooked and cruel
Where plain evil is recognized as being cool
I got sick of being used as a tool
We live for more than just consuming food
Am I just a student to you?
We continue to learn every single day
We don't just learn to throw it away
What I'm saying is, I partially escaped this matrix
But to say that is such a hateful statement
That's how they purposely make it
I'm here venting, but not only for payment
They trying to sedate
How can a n***a be categorized as fake?
Are life is what we make it
But I bet you will freak, if it gets to shaking
Everyday people get taken
And I don't mean kidnap
I mean they lacking a brain,,
Cause there minds been snatched
And hacked
To think strange
And that's not the way it was supposed to be
Stick with me and you'll see…
