[Intro] They tell me I can rap till I'm finished But why would I stop if I'm winning? If I'm winning, how I know when I'm finished? And if nobody winning with me, am I really in it For the long run? If you know someone put 'em up If you know someone who ain't no one put 'em up If ya hands in ya pockets, where you go put 'em up If somebody got you blocked in they phone put 'em up Put a light to the sky if you ever felt shy Put a light to the sky if you made yourself cry Put a light to the sky if you really wanna die Put a light to the sky if you never wanna die [Chorus] I been at it since a youngin in the backyard Tryna act hard, just pretеnd that I am someone you can love I been at it sincе a youngin in the lunchroom Where we ate food, but we really try'na touch each others hearts Freestyles in the Stu don't hit the same as they used to Tryna get back to my roots in touch with who that I used to be But I can't see, that it's right in front of me Why should I be someone else when I can be like me? [Verse 1] Why should I have to cope with being someone that I'm not Can we form another plot, and get back to the spot? Where I was tryna confess to you bout how much I really cared But backed out halfway through cause I got too scared To open up ya feelings as a man, is a death wish If they don't like you they can make you wish you was dead quick Now I'm out here try'na find a new shawty to mess with These new ones ain't the same as all the ones that I was pressed with Back in my prime I was somebody that I liked I'm sad to say that my prime was back in grade 5 When I couldn't care less bout how you felt about me I could really be me I could run carefree Without the thought of some pressure or anxiety taking over me And now I'm out in college try'na find out who I'm supposed to be It ain't that easy, if I show you maybe you'll look Said the chapter was ending, but it feel like a different book [Chorus] I been at it since a youngin in the backyard Tryna act hard, just pretend that I am someone you can love I been at it since a youngin in the lunchroom Where we ate food, but we really try'na touch each others hearts Freestyles in the Stu don't hit the same as they used to Tryna get back to my roots in touch with who that I used to be But I can't see, that it's right in front of me Why should I be someone else when I can be like me? [Verse 2] This rap thing might be more than I bargained for Try'na get back in my awards Maybe find what I'm looking for Found it hard to get motivated to make an EP Till I got out of the sheets and got back to looking at beats Had to step out of my ego to make this track And maybe find myself more vulnerable than when I'm looking back At my old tracks they was all that, no cap But the king stay up inside his head and that's facts If I wanted to talk to you then I'd probably reach out But I know that's a lie cause I cannot see how I would go about starting off What would I even say? From the time that we started off Feels like a couple days I been stuck in a time loop try'na run through Get down at a finish line where nobody knows That I was ever anybody who I thought I'd look up to I'm just tryna be bland and boring, what else can I become too? Can me in the backyard have future he look up to?
