Imperialshaylove - To Be Me Lyrics

I couldn't use a shovel or a big crane
To get out of this hole cause was lost so far
So I called upon my god of understanding
Some call him Jesus
Jehovah
Some call him the great Allah
But anyway he heals my wounds one day at a time
And he focused my strength
In myself and my mind
When I put my effort in god
And you people who is all I had left
Then I began to rise again
All by myself
Yea yea
This is dedicated to the people
Who conspired for me
To be me
Or not to be its all about
What you believe
To be me
Or not to be its all about
Do you believe
And everyday that I wake up
I thank you for being gracious
And keeping me motivated to
Being the best me I can be
Or not to be its all about
What you believe
To be me
Or not to be its all about
Do you believe
To be me
I came from the dirt I
Always be of the dirt
Never believe it for yourself
Till you see it at work
Work
Believing at first the only way to get it
Cause every time you second guess yourself
You bull shittin
I got the game if only you would listen
Too scared to face your demons
Why you afraid to speak it
Into existence
The only thing they got for you is prison
And you can even make it inside the pen
If you keep it real nigga
See Im addicted to rims spinnin
And diamonds glistenin
Bad women Im swimmin in
Goin the distance
But first I had to affirm
Make that decision
And feel like I deserve
Everything I could envision
And now I sit in that escalade
Counting them Benjamins
And shit all of this
Is cause I could touch people
With them sentences
Forty cal and the clip extended
To knock you outta commission
You ever challenge my mission
This king spit with precision
Protect my kingdom cause
This is dedicated to the people
Who conspired for me
To be me
Or not to be its all about
What you believe
To be me
Or not to be its all about
Do you believe
And everyday that I wake up
I thank you for being gracious
And keeping me motivated to
Being the best me I can be
Or not to be its all about
What you believe
To be me
Or not to be its all about
Do you believe
To be me
Yo this is for my
Mom and my Pops
Uncle and aunts
My four brothers
Nino Joro Blaze and Omar Law
Thanks for helping me become
The man I've been so far
Always taught me to stay focus
To always go hard
Nino taught me to be patient
Always play your part
Never let these suckas play you
You gotta be smart
Be the shadow behind the shadow
A thief in the dark
Joro taught never back down
Never be soft
That's why I gotta hit you with game
In every bar
Making sure that you feel my pain
Inside of every remark
The decision that I have made
Got me of to a later start
But at lease I'm not in a grave
I'm still able to share my art
Art
Yeah
Yea
Still able to play my part
To inspire the mind inside of the young
And you at heart
Regardless you sixteen
Or thirty six with sixteen
In the clip aim for ya dreams
Hit cha target
Consider these extra cartridges
Play the game no charges
Dedicated
This is dedicated to the people
Who conspired for me
To be me
Or not to be its all about
What you believe
To be me
Or not to be its all about
Do you believe
And everyday that I wake up
I thank you for being gracious
And keeping me motivated to
Being the best me I can be
Or not to be its all about
What you believe
To be me
Or not to be its all about
Do you believe
To be me
