Take A Look At Me Now

Verse 1:
Take a look how I came up, they used to doubt me
Now they bringing my name up
I still ain’t changed up
I came from the dirt, where we only had bread and water
But was making it work
And what was making it worse
It didn’t feel like home so now I’m part of the system
Thought this where I belong
Therapist tried to diagnose me, said I’m clinically depressed
Years later - Doctor, Doctor, can I retake the test?
‘cause I’m feeling in my best
No way you can break me
Fifth grade teacher tried to [?] me ‘cause
Some grades had zero, some were a hundred
Real quick questioned myself like ‘do I really want an education leads to occupation?’
Smartest kid in my class work at the bus station
Right down the street
I can’t knock him, fam gotta eat
But didn’t you say you gon’ do better than me?

Refrain:
Take a look at me now
Look at me now
Just take a look at me now
Look at me now now
Look at me now
Look at me now
Just take a look at me now
Look at me now
Just take a look at me now
Look at me now
Just look at me now
Look at me now now
Look at me now
Look at me now
Just look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now

Verse 2:
I still got my soul
I’ll never give it up
Can’t forget my dreamers, all we got is us
In God we trust, and not the love of money
I’m laughing to myself
I find it quite funny
How the world said I wasn’t gon’ be ish
Trapped in the system, but look yo I be it
Waves make ‘em sea sick, that’s all from my current thoughts
Radio sucks, when I hear it, I turn it off
Maybe I’m just too real for these amateurs
Why you all up in my business? Handle yours
Know she insecure, so she worry ‘bout her features
True beauty’s within, that’s what love teach us
Not Instagramming, demanding some likes for your ego
If not, they green with envy uh, resembling she yo
Ain’t tryna be no hero
I’m just tryna be a voice
A cappella colorful dreamer putting it down
Old Yeller, a cool fella
