DSTL - That Ain't Me lyrics

Verse 1: Been rewinding lately, tryna find the spacing Where I harness crazy Talking Albert mainly Cause the math is weighty, like a ton a grading Not a project baby, but the hardship made me Cause my momma raised me And did a lot failing, trying to find myself Cause I forgot the ages, when she told me I was supposed to be my own man Not to copy those watching the folly Never join those Who steady making all the wrong plans Do the opposite aim to be godly Stay focused and behave ya self You represent our last name a wealth But of course I had to be a knuckle head a few times And test my mom's gangsta well Now that I've grown older, I'm just thankful That she spank my tale It help keep me outta prison, crippin, pimpin or holding shells Bolder Male Don't wanna be a prisoner to popularity, epiphany I'd rather lead and cause I'm ease When I'm just, me Hook: Everything could with could when wrong But thank God didn't nothing happen I thank ya that I made it Cause so many of our brothers haven't Caught up in a world where they judges us wrong And them guns are blastin Could have been up in something tragic But that ain't me But that ain't me But that ain't me But that ain't me But that ain't me Accolades don't impress me naw Sk** level is a breath to draw Just different grades and color lungs involved Tryna inhale every grasp and awe Won't stroke an ego for features Never kissing any a** for shows If it's meant to happen it'll happen homie Gold character characters what matters most Used to feel the pressure worrying About what certain people thought of me It used to gut me clean With a guilt that bleeds Til my growth esteemed Conscious redeemed You ain't gotta fake to liking nothing of me Don't gotta lie to kick it with me either All I ask is that you keep it funky really Keep it positive and don't you emo teeter I'm just really thankful I done found my journey's rhythm now Smoke my black and mild and nod my head to my created sound Upward bound, not worried bout ya commentary Quite contrary, negativity I'm at my speed, and I'm at ease When I'm just, me Hook: Everything could with could when wrong But thank God didn't nothing happen I thank ya that I made it Cause so many of our brothers haven't So many stay frontin' just a live a dream But I ain't up for actin' Naw, I ain't up for actin' That ain't me That ain't me But that ain't me But that ain't me But that ain't me
