Real Me

[Verse 1]
Take it back to my journey
Being broke was not working (ay)
Minimum wage
I wasn't paid
But I knew that it'd be worth it
Go to school but not learning
Learning 'bout my main purpose
Selling out shows
Doing the most
Know that I gotta go earn it
Pro Tools on my laptop
Every day i be ?wrapped up?
Making beats ?yet not? making songs
But nobody would put me on
Started out on my Soundcloud
Fifty plays and I'm gassed up
Knew that I gotta keep going
Cause people be watching
Now I cannot back up
Momma told me I make it
Pops told me be patient
Brother told me I pop off
Never wanna be famous
Instagram makes animals
People focused on getting views
I just been focused on music
I'm hoping to do everything that I said I do

[Bridge]
I remember when they thought I wouldn't make it
I remember when they thought that I was crazy
I remember every time that I fell down
But it turned me to the man I am now

[Chorus]
This the real me
Yeah, this the real me
Everybody stay down on the same team
This the real me
Yeah, this the real me
And we all came up what a feeling
This the real me
Yeah, this the real me
Everybody stay down on the same team
This the real me
Yeah, this the real me
And we all came up what a feeling

[Verse 2]
Growing up never the best
But I got heart in my chest
Never the one who would quit
History telling the rest
People be counting on me
So I gotta make everything happen for me
'Cause I got a lot of people waiting on me
And I got a family I need to impress
Yes, I know I'm the man
Know I be counting up bands
Always remember the past
Know that it never would last
Everyone who would've laughed
Now they all gone
Everything on
Don't need to party
I gotta make songs
People be listening
What I'm envisioning
But I be hoping
They righting my wrongs
Yeah
Everything that I built up
Took a lot of time
And a lot of gut
Lot of self belief
Lot of sacrifice
But I let it be
This ain't overnight
And I stayed down
When it got tough
And I got friends
And they show love
So we came up
And we stay up
This ain't Hollywood
I won't change up
I know

[Bridge]
I remember when they thought I wouldn't make it
I remember when they thought that I was crazy
I remember every time that I fell down
But it turned me to the man I am now

[Chorus]
This the real me
Yeah, this the real me
Everybody stay down on the same team
This the real me
Yeah, this the real me
And we all came up ?for the feeling?
This the real me
Yeah, this the real me
Everybody stay down on the same team
This the real me
Yeah, this the real me
And we all came up ?for the feeling?
