Dave East - Wanna Be Me lyrics

[Intro] (Joe Joe got 'em again) Just tryna be on my own time Everybody need a favor lately I just wanna be me I just wanna be me [Verse 1] Uh, my aunt Barbara died in 2008 My paps became diabetic, he lost a lot of weight Get mad love in my city, still get a lot of hate Was never selfish, if I had food, the homies gotta plate This is my life don't take offense to We went from riding rentals to more rides than Great Adventure The ones that's closest give me my distance, I got a temper Missing my daughter, I'm across the country in a Sprinter I never ask n***as for nothing now I'm the one they count on Tryna' smoke some weed, sip some lean, get my bounce on Me and Bullet smoking out the bag til' an ounce gone I ain't just screaming free my n***as, I'm looking out for 'em I just wanted custom seats in the old Capris Wish I was closer with my nephews, so much to show my niece I'm tryna' make Wayno go shopping, this n***a know he cheap Tryna' learn the music industry the way I know the streets [Chorus] (I just wanna be me) I don't care nothing about nothing, you claim (not at all) I'd rather die before I front on my gang (I just wanna be me) In, in my heart I know Allah done bless me But why my baby mama gotta stress me? (I just wanna be me) I'm just tryna' survive in this crazy world Don't call my phone I'm with my baby girl (I just wanna be me) We might have played the staircases with a lot of Henny' I owe you nothing n***a, not a penny (I just wanna be me) [Verse 2] I just wanna smoke a blunt and watch Goodfellas I just want that foreign sh** to make your hood jealous I just wanna take Kairi to Dubai Pop the xanny on the flight to help me sleep through the sky I just wanna wake up and go the Gucci store Thinking back when I was broke, I ain't know who to call Did six months, glad the judge ain't give me that two-to-four Can't describe the pain I felt when people told me you should ball On the hood just want a week without an interview Want my brother to know if he feeling pain, I feel it too I used to want Angelettie to do an interlude Now it's so many mad rappers, sh** if he did it? Cool I make way more than my teachers, f** how I did in school I just want a girl that like girls so we can pick and choose Still grippin' tools, the city know 'fore it hit the news We them different dudes, crib gotta come with a swimming pool [Chorus] (I just wanna be me) I don't care nothing about nothing, you claim I'd rather die before I front on my gang (I just wanna be me) In, in my heart I know Allah done bless me But why my baby mama gotta stress me? (I just wanna be me) I'm just tryna survive in this crazy world Don't call my phone I'm with my baby girl (I just wanna be me) We might have played the staircases with a lot of Henny I owe you nothing n***a, not a penny (I just wanna be me)
