I AM

[Chorus]
Might tear the ceilin' down, so hold it up
Might tear the ceilin' down, so hold it up
It might tear down everything that I am

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I feel it comin', oh mama, I feel it comin'
I'm drownin', what time they callin' my stomach?
I might evaporate
The lack of confidence I hate, I didn't graduate
The late registration for college, who thought I'd levitate?
I know they been waitin' for fall backs
No shows, 360 deals, no call backs
Hell of a lifestyle, the Visine burnin' my lights out
People I was friends with only wantin' to fight now
I could never touch it when it's bringin' the price down
They 'bout to tear the ceilin' off, feelin' so crazy
Life in a continuum, minimal wages
Hope they really feelin' ya
Thinkin' that they helpin' tear the ceilin' down

[Chorus]
They cannot stop my shine
They said I will not grow
They will know in due time, do anything, yeah
Everything I am, yeah
Is everything that I am, ayy
Motherfucker, I am, uh
Run the beat back twice, make it sound nice

[Verse 2]
Feel like I'm stuck in a daydream
I was too cool and stepped away from the AC
Don't be surprised if they just show up and take things
So tired of hearin', "Think about it," to, "Maybe's"
I overdraft, they hit my ass with a late fee
I wonder why my baby hates me
Eight days, no pussy, no plead
Don't fall in love 'cause it's the hardest you fall
Feel like I never shoulda loved you at all
It might tear the ceilin' down

[Chorus]
They cannot stop my shine
They said I will not grow
They will know in due time, do anything, yeah
Everything I am, yeah
Is everything that I am, ayy
Motherfucker, I am, uh

[Verse 3]
Yeah, we used to cram in minivans, I think the window is cracked
A bag of smoke to stay afloat could bring my memories back
And steppin' away from me
My lungs are black, I'm sorry, Jack, there ain't no savin' me
I'll call you back when I react to all my latest schemes
Feelin' a way all the time, I know
I'm a great, I'm a fake, all it takes, I know, yeah
They sell you anything, I call it "penny dreams"
Say they showin' love when they don't
It might tear the ceilin' down

[Chorus]
They cannot stop my shine
They said I will not grow
They will know in due time, do anything, yeah
Everything I am, yeah
Is everything that I am, ayy
Motherfucker, I am, uh
Motherfucker, I am, uh
They cannot stop my shine
They said I will not grow
They will know in due time, do anything, yeah
Everything I am, yeah
Is everything that I am, ayy
Motherfucker, I am, uh
