I Am Him

[Intro]
Hey, you know how many people tell me not to be humble?
Like four people told me that today, no exaggeration
Uh, look

[Verse]
I am him, never been more sure about it frankly
You can lie to them
I been painting pictures, wanna frame me?
You should try again
To everyone I cut off tryna play me
Here's a violin smaller than the fucks I've given
Living to inspire kin
[?] gift in my environment
Sifting through the violence til I'm vibing with my tribe again
Venom stuck inside my penmanship I had to find within
Difficult as tryna fix the signal on the Fire Stick
Keep it tall, 6'3" and all, nigga I am him
Could never lose my stripes like a tiger skin
Skid marks, tire spin
Talk is cheap, time was spent
Lames ain't ringing any bells
[?]
So recognize that I am him
Niggas ain't gon' jeopardize what I done did
Step into this history and set aside the biases
Lack of views and desperate times could wreck your pride though I'll admit
Praying we'll be kept alive but death provides enlightenment
[?] about it five percent, I am it
Pennywise, I am rich
Can't deny my triumphs when the titled fits
Tired of this
Disrespected by the kids that I wouldn't even diss on record
Disconnect from Instagram a millisecond, I insist
Legend, you think I'm a myth
Shining on 'em, [?] full of ones that want me light to dim
Hyena in the lion's den
Artists give their [?] to the highest bid
Envy in the eyes of men, fuck whoever I offend
Flyest [?] whatever room I am in
Too cold [?] all around like hydrogen
Niggas got my patience Richard Pryor thin
[?] pirated
Plotting on the guy like Pontius Pilate
Give me my assist
Plenty folks are thriving just 'cause I exist
I could write a list but I'm content 'cause I rhyme like this
I was sick when the riots hit
Inside the crib in Texas texting activist and many [?] though
Masked like Mysterio [?]
Frankenstein and shit, off the top, like a flying kick
I am him, first album after [?] and I had split
Opening for Devin was heaven but got the [?]
Had a suicidal vital minute, shit was kinda tense
Back home we aiming to be king but still admire prince
Menace over nice but I'm what kindness is
Caged bird is silent, damn, Maya didn't die for this
Heard life's a bitch, faster than a Nolan Ryan pitch
Matter fact, if there's a heaven I know where Ryan is
Missing [?] got me smiling [?]
Inner peace from mimicking your energy, defiant bliss
I can [?] comfortably 'cause I am him
Come for me, I'm fighting if there's one of me and nine of them
Luckily I'm covered
Swear you suckers couldn't buy a friend
Bullseye like a [?] not naming Biden's kids
Eyes are big thinking 'bout that last bar
[?] got a glass jar
Tyson in his prime how the lines just hit
Rooftop [?] but on the vibrant tip
Classic as a vinyl spinnin'
Hiding from these viruses, nightmare from my sinuses
Rappers get to pension, need a [?] to retire with
Tough talking rap gangsters crime is a requirement
Cuffs and addiction get indited for the [?] shit
I don't align with it, might repent
Might [?] how tight I grip it
'Cause I am him

[Outro]
Y'all niggas gonna learn one day, I promise
