Kid Cudi - What I Am lyrics
[Hook] This is the song for me, call it my biography This is the song for me, just let me be It's what I am, yea it's what I am Just let me go, please just let me go Just let me flow, Jerz just let me flow [Verse 1] When I was kid I wanted to run the play ground Show them it was my town and if not you'd be chased around When I was kid I was a social bu*terfly My parents always asked me why I'd shrug my shoulders living life My parents split up that had my feelings mixed up Always wanting to ask mommy why daddy still don't live with us Then times got harder that's when I moved with my father Always been close with my mom now it seems we finna be farther I packed my bags moving to a new place Got me driving cross the country to put on a new face That's when I learned and discover new ways To better myself and change to become a stronger Zay] [Hook] This is the song for me, call it my biography This is the song for me, just let me be It's what I am, yea it's what I am Just let me go, please just let me go Just let me flow, Jerz just let me flow [Verse 2] [Being the new kid it was scary trying to make new friends it was daring All of this stress on a little one it was over bearing Because now it wasn't about sharing it was more about comparing And being vulnerable at that age so you could bet it was impairing I was so caught up in appearance it was causing interference In who I was and I didn't want to be incoherent Only in 8th grade but I'm searing I'm a bad driver so I'm veering Off this bad road and to another one that's more appealing Temps with the fan got hotter relationships were searing Everything was unappealing then things blew up no more ceilings In my stomach i had this weird sinking feeling I was in Lynden hooks its reeling now it's Lynden where I'm healing] [Hook] This is the song for me, call it my biography This is the song for me, just let me be It's what I am, yea it's what I am Just let me go, please just let me go Just let me flow, Jerz just let me flow [Verse 3] [Nowadays I'm the nerdy black kid in Lynden Comfortable with who I am so I don't have to try and fit in Kid Cudi, Urkel, and Wiz's image I am spittin And on this mio flavored water you can catch me sippin Around here all we have is backstabbing drama So many really tight cliques it's causing outsiders drama Everyone is secretly racist so they hate Obama Parents are like their kids they dabble in marijuana All I'm really doing is telling you who I am You say that you don't like please you're a closet fan think I have a cookie Flow like green eggs and ham And damn I'm kinda hungry]
