[Verse 1]
Damn
It's been a couple of years in the system
Left home came here
Plotting on my wishes
See I was just a youngin'
Hopping on a mission
Crossed the sea
Just to make it big kinda like a pilgrim
Only difference is I came on a plane
Landed in the states
Everybody looking at my cray
How you say your name?
Why you so black?
Whole world feeling kinda gray
And honestly
Man this sh** would damage me
Never adjusted to being different
Never felt accepted
Whole life in a prison
Was a monkey in a jungle
Idolizing about my freedom
Then they put me in box
To minimize any allegiance
And now I'm feening
They told me in the past man
Bump ya feelings
Now I'm numb to my inner self
And these outer demons
How I'm breathing
Is the question that I repeat
Cuz all those years
I wanted to end it all so quickly
Like what?
[Chorus: K. Adams]
No matter what they say
Or what they do
I'd rather be me
And that's the truth
Yeah I'm on a rise
Headed right to the sky
No limits, no lie
Alright
[Verse 2]
Then I found this music
And I was so into it
First I was listening
Then I later I had to do it
Spitting foolish
Everyone looking at me clueless
This is the part of story
I really came in tune with
Myself
My motherf**in' self
This music gave me life
Take a motherf**in' breath
I can feel it in lungs
Inhale then exhale
When I'm going crazy
I turn to no one else
I feel it in my lungs baby
Body's going numb lately
So in line with the beat
The way I orchestrate it
This is the story of the boy
Who could never make it
I did it baby
[Chorus: K. Adams]
No matter what they say
Or what they do
I'd rather be me
And that's the truth
Yeah I'm on a rise
Headed right to the sky
No limits, no lie
Alright
