Tunde Olaniran - Namesake lyrics

See him flossing in that metal The game's in a higher level Dimensions; we into several You see we get them together DIY fringe be swangin' Bangers-bangers he slanging Show on point, he slaying He wasn't always this way in fact Brown boy slanted eyes Bleach-stained sweat suit Throwin' water on me In the middle school restroom Only brown head in my 9th grade play 13 walking in the streets of UK [Chorus] Now maybe there's a lesson I've been given Or some wisdom from the stories that I need to tell And everybody's hoping and scraping and wishing They could be something outside themselves If I can be me, then you can be yourself Might not be easy, it's like we're never satisfied Right? It's like we're never satisfied Right? Got it locked With that namesake Won't stay the same Change like every day Got it locked With that namesake Won't stay the same Change like every day Smiling through the vicious A puzzle piece never fittin' A new thread that he was given To weave a singular vision Could never be avaricious Instead a quiet ambitious No reason left to resist it A hater just sound fictitious So I'm not, quittin, they stay, squintin' Try to dictate a life they not, living T.O. been about that truth, spilling Don't buck like a deer when shots hit him Don't Formula One this path that you're on We all gotta make our own living Cry out loud, don't stay, hidden Fear to fail, say good riddance [Chorus] Nathaniel said: “you can't see me” In February, he freed me Cleared my head of debris We shattered my boundaries And the lowered degree was healing Winter was sorely needed Like Pakistan, I seceded My leaving won't be repeated Never read for them tight roles My eyes looked where the sky goes So rare like albinos Poachers, we zoom right by those Few in number like rhinos Reaching up for them high notes Study me like yo bibles Cats fall in line like I'm Lion-o [Chorus] Now maybe there's a lesson I've been given Or some wisdom from the stories that I need to tell And everybody's hoping and scraping and wishing They could be something outside themselves If I can be me, then you can be yourself Might not be easy, it's like we're never satisfied
