They say I'm sleeping on my talent
It's time I wake it up
Life feel like a can of soda, gotta shake it up
Had so many opportunities right up in my face
I didn't see it so I let it all fade away
Did some soul searching now I know just what I gotta do
Can't keep letting peoples opinion overpower you
Had so many late nights and early morning
Tired of living for other folks, that mess gets boring
I got a calling on my life, gotta take the token
Can't let this one go, this is my only moment
Got a story to tell, can't worry about who listen
Errbody has a job but I'm on a different mission
This is me, this is me, this is me
I gotta do what I gotta do for me
If you don't like it then you know what you can do
Cuz this is my life and I'm not living it for you
I had to think about my folks that's out here dying
How I sit in the dark, in the corner crying
All this violence among the human race
How can someone end up dead when they was just in your face
All our black kings and queens deceased, no hesitation
I do this for my ppl they are my motivation
Tired of seeing us dying & nobody do nothing
If I can help it, I know I gotta do something
Momma steady crying, stressed out and depressed
Daddy might be dead, not there, or under arrest
Real life issues & some ppl just don't wanna change
Gotta try something different so I won't end up the same
This is me, this is me, this is me
I gotta do what I gotta do for me
If you don't like it then you know what you can do
Cuz this is my life and I'm not living it for you
