This Is Me Lyrics by Apollo Brown, Philmore Greene

Cost of Living

2022

[Intro: Philmore Greene & sample]
Yeah, let's go
Long ago, long ago, long ago
[?] take control
Yo, yeah
Long ago, long ago, long ago
[?] take control
Yo
[Verse 1: Philmore Greene]
What a man I’ve become
But let me take you back to where it begun
Chicago, the West Side, you'd better brandish your gun
The devil's lurking, try to vanish and run
Protect my sanity
A penny for my thoughts I had to manage my funds
I saw death early, right there the damage was done
One to the face, the other shots damaged his lungs
A mind on the run at the very moment I began that
Mentally, young Philly managed a ton
I saw therapists and shrinks way before it was a hustle
Fighting a battle inside of my mind, what a struggle
Paranoid, how can I live with this condition?
I'm being watched and followed, the killer gon' pay a visit
Fourteen, I wondered if I'd see twenty-five
And when I turned twenty-five, I woke up and cried
Bitter-sweet, I'm watching over my shoulder religiously
Fighting demons in the hood is no way for a kid to be
[Chorus: Philmore Greene & sample]
Long ago, long ago, long ago
[?] take control
But this is me
Long ago, long ago, long ago
[?] take control
[Verse 2: Philmore Greene]
Yo; I heard it all from being called crazy
Mind in a fog, it's all hazy
I unpacked ill thoughts hoping they all pay me
To escape I used to sip the Henny Ball daily
Sixteen with a bottle in hand like a baby
Now I'm much older and the fight is hella stressful
Where I'm from even if you sneeze they don't bless you
I'm more recluse now, never leaving home
I need it for a zone, nowadays to each his own
My man is preaching from a speaker phone
He squeeze the chrome, 90 years in Indiana hope he see it home
Too many losses and not enough gains, struggles and pains
The sound of my daughter help ease the pain
You can't smell or see the pain
It's like speaking another language when asking me to explain
I'm still in the game, plenty clock to go
I'm winning for sure, I'm much better but this is me
[Chorus: Philmore Greene & sample]
Long ago, long ago, long ago
[?] take control
But this is me
Long ago, long ago, long ago
[?] take control
But this is me
