[Verse]
Word is maybe that you don't know yourself
How could you if you don't show yourself?
Be a better me that's what you told yourself
Why are you afraid just to go for help?
Why do you prefer to be alone but then desire the attention?
What happened to the boy who wrote confessions?
Why do you have it mixed up?
Careless for a person but you freak over possessions
What have you have become? You were never this a few years ago
Lost you a few tears ago
Man it's so sad hate to see it go
This what happens when you live in blessings but you never see it grow
Maybe you just need to know a bit more
Gotta learn it now 'fore you get goin'
Mama's home proud but she still worryin'
Go and get it now, take a shot, Steph Curry it
But don't you ever hurry it, this is everything that you worked for
Been through it all when it hurts more
But what did you learn to make it worth all that?
Live like you would never take it all back
This who I been hidin' for all these years
Got blind-sighted by all these tears
Back in the driver seat and I'm in gear
Hello Hip Hop, yes I am here
I am king, no, a man of the people
They look up to me but I stand by 'em equal
Only one me, never will there be a sequel
'Less I have a son and he becomes prince to the people
Thank God, I made it through the storm
Lost in the dark but He lit up every door
I just had to open it I took a leap of faith
And He put me in position for the world to see my face
I'm gone, gotta make a change in the world
See it in myself hope to see it in my girl
Yes I am sinner but they say nobody perfect
Everybody gon' hurt you you just hopin' that they worth it
I'm blessed though, regardless of the stress though
God got me and I'm blessed to know
Love to my city 'cause I'm next to blow
Poinciana, Kissimmee, we bein' technical
They didn't believe me, when I said that I
Could really do this, if I really tried
You heard my tears on a track? then I really cried
I'm just praying for the world when they see my mind
I had to feel the truth 'fore I see the lies
I know that I'm more than what meets the eye
Gonna do what I feel is right
Find purpose in my life when I'm steppin' to the mic
Cause this is way more than rap, it's more than that
The people listening adore these tracks
People tellin' me that I got 'em through the dark nights
When I had to face 'em nights all by myself
Never give up, that's what I had to learn
Couple of bridges I know I had to burn
People walked out yeah it's sad, it hurts
But any longer then it would've went from bad to worse
I'm me, thank God I'm me
Found love in myself now I am free
Sittin' in a dark room but I can see
The future that I have planned for me
Lead by example, give 'em somethin' to follow
Rockin' the stage at the Apollo
So full of yourself yet so hollow
Humbleness is supposed to be the motto
Never live life like a model
Drown in a bottle
Real life's a hard pill to swallow
I am so auto, matic with the pen
These are my confessions I had locked within
JT, yes I am him
