I am Aaron Dillard
To that scared lady in the back, I'm a random k**er
To that person watching me shake hands, I'm a random dealer
To you, I'm who you think I am, no matter how I feel
I could be all that, or I could be myself
I could live in poverty, or I could swim in wealth
I could lie and show you everything you wanna see
But I won't and I'll introduce you to the real me
I'm not your average rapper
Well first off I pride myself on how I look dapper
I use words like that and I went to boarding school
And I'm afraid of jail, so yes, I follow all the rules
Parents are still together
Was on honor roll and I wear Christmas sweaters
Anyone or Lupe? Well I'd say Lupe's better
And I've respected my girl from the second I met her
Grew up with a dad who taught me all about my history
Used to fill my head up with books until it was blistering
Sometimes I doubt myself when I think nobody is listening
And I bet this sounds strange like an instrument that just missed a string
Asked me why it is that I wanted to rap on em
Not good at sports, was never running track on em
But I think I'm ahead, I'm running laps on em
But they don't get my bars; I gotta go back on em
Couldn't say I'm stereotypical
You might think I'm flip-flopped like a reciprocal
But I'm rapping a song, so am I typical
This is getting weird, this is getting mystical
Struggle with this thought every day and night
Is what I have to say about the media just right?
That it drives us to only wanna be a few things in life
Yeah, but it's the only way I'll bring y'all to the light
I'm Physically speaking
Lyrically Peaking
Spiritually Seeking
Thank you God for this gift, now tell me where's the deacon
I'll rhyme this thing to completion
My fear is competing
With myself
But I know I'll never be beaten
But its coming together in perfect harmony
Nobody bringing me down, there is no way of harming me
The way I feel's electric and man I think I'm Carmen E
I'm addicted to this music and I think I'm going far in deep
Heart's off my sleeve, I left it on the track
I promised to myself that I am never going back
To feeling completely hopeless from struggling being black
So to my proud brothers and Sisters, Please tell me where y'all at
No need for a book, this song is biographical
This verse is almost done, but I got another lap to go
I'll never be the person that you wanted it to be
But just know I'm not lying when I tell you this is me
