[Intro]
(Agh)
Ayy, there's only one of you and there's only one of me. I can't be like you 'cause I'm too busy tryna be me, you feel me? Look
[Verse 1]
Fresh up out the cemetery, dead to my old ways
Had a choice to live in destruction, but no I chose grace
I chose freedom, some people shackled 'cause they chose slave
I'm out here tryna see souls saved
So I'm careful 'bout what I'm sayin' and how I live
'Cause I know these people be watchin' all in my biz
Role model so I can't be misdirectin' these kids
Got my life in order's what I did
But before I made my transition, I'mma be honest, homie
Without Jesus, I was powerless like my Amish homies
No comforter, before He came in my life I was lonely
E'ry thing I said and did was phony (Yeah!)
But reality came upon me with my decision
To accept my callin' as a minister on a mission
I'm bringin' the solution out to the streets or in prison
I was limited, but now I'm more like limited edition
[Pre-Hook]
Maybe I forgot to mention that your boy free
I'm focused 'cause I can't let you come and destroy me
They say I'm goin' crazy, I'm like hold up, you'll see
I'm becomin' what He want me to be
Can't be like you 'cause
[Hook]
I'm me (I'm me)
I'm me (I'm me)
They say I'm goin' crazy, I'm like hold up, you'll see
I'm me (I'm me)
I'm me (I'm me)
I'm becomin' what He want me to be
[Verse 2]
Some people copycats 'cause they don't really know themself
So they follow fiction which tells me that they don't know they wealth
Tryna play yo' hands 'stead of playin' the one they was dealt
Yo' originality stay on the shelf
Lot of cats out here braggin' and boastin' sayin' that they dopin'
Knowing God is the only one that they need to put they hope in 'cause they broken
You got no faith, but my faith got me water walkin' on the ocean
Y'all keep sinkin' while I keep floatin'
And I'll never drown 'cause I know that my identity is comin' from the Father and the Father know me very well
Anything outside of His Word is a lie and I'm very sorry that I don't believe in fairy tales
See what you gotta do is wake up and remove the scales
Or you will just continue to fail
And there ain't no failures in the Kingdom, we will rise
And we don't stop, we stay motivated, we will strike
Never look back 'less we need to see how we won
So we can be confident in our victories yet to come
[Pre-Hook]
Maybe I forgot to mention that your boy free
I'm focused 'cause I can't let you come and destroy me
They say I'm goin' crazy, I'm like hold up, you'll see
I'm becomin' what He want me to be
Can't be like you 'cause
[Hook]
I'm me (I'm me)
I'm me (I'm me)
They say I'm goin' crazy, I'm like hold up, you'll see
I'm me (I'm me)
I'm me (I'm me)
I'm becomin' what He want me to be
[Verse 3]
Now I refuse to be remembered as a rap clone
Hard to stand for what you believe when you lack a backbone
You will collapse, homes, if you don't find who you are
Bein' anybody else but me is bizarre
Let this be a warnin', this warnin's informin' you to pause
Where I come from destruction haunts your spirit before the fall
Enemy's playin', see your plans and distort 'em all
When that happens, we'll see who you call
[Bridge]
See, I tried to be like somebody else, but it didn't pan out
I'm surprised there's a lot of rappers who don't wanna stand out
They, they, they, they, they, they, they'd rather be repeats of them
Chances of succeeding's very slim
[Verse 4]
That's why this guy will never live a lie
Seems this generation don't care, live or die
You'll find freedom, need to go and give 'em a try
Put it like, I got tired of just gettin' by
I had to reevalu-ate-ate-ate-ate-ate
My decisions, so I wouldn't keep makin' the same mistakes
[Pre-Hook]
Maybe I forgot to mention that your boy free
I'm focused 'cause I can't let you come and destroy me
They say I'm goin' crazy, I'm like hold up, you'll see
I'm becomin' what He want me to be
Can't be like you 'cause
[Hook]
I'm me (I'm me)
I'm me (I'm me)
They say I'm goin' crazy, I'm like hold up, you'll see
I'm me (I'm me)
I'm me (I'm me)
I'm becomin' what He want me to be
