Fre$h Daddy B - Show You Who I Am Lyrics

I struggled for a long time to really find who I was

I try to find me every scene
Not to deceive
I just don't know what I see
Beyond the say
When I pray
What else need I say
Try to elevate and take away the pain
As I'm tugging on my chain
'Cause I'm feeling on a change

I think it's insane to say
I see it's not the same
And either way I try to stay up in my lane
I meditate most these days
And I can't complain
I elevate the people with the power of a stage
I had to hope that hope escape
On the chance of fate
Then to give it away
Because why complain
If you ain't working for that change
I ain't be feeding a flame that won't heat me either way
And to quote my own page
I think its insane to say
That we ain't feeling the same
Cause we ain't dealing the same, nah
From either where I came or where I stay
Never been ashamed to say
The games they play
I came from pain to clear the rain
And make change

So if I show you who I am I just hope you'd understand (Yeah)
And if I show you who I was I hope you'd still give love (Yeah)
If I show you who I am I just hope you'd understand
And if I show you who I was I hope you'd still give love
And that's on god

Instead of being dumb in this bit
I'm just chilling blowing tree by the sea
I told 'em keep the receipt
'Cause I got what I need
A small way to save waste at any pace
That's a leg in the race
I try to keep the smog out ya face
Writ respect in your place
They talk shit with the tats on my face
Think I'd have troubles being paid
Put ya name on the page and all your problems go away (Yuh)

It's I-T with a key
New wave fresh shit like a G
I was a kid blowing minds in the scene
So don't mind me, honestly
I just shop by the week
Live by the day, c'est la vie
Let me show you what I see

Coldest nights without sleep
Stretched meals to eat
Still living off grease
Bag in the streets
And I'm just trying to be
Left home at seventeen
'Cause I couldn't breath

So if I show you who I am I just hope you'd understand (Yeah)
And if I show you who I was I hope you'd still give love (Yeah)
If I show you who I am I just hope you'd understand
And if I show you who I was I hope you'd still give love
And that's on god

So I was chasing the cream
All I had was a dream
But I still couldn't see exactly what I need
She was hoping I wouldn't speak
Abuse is an evil technique
Overcome by bounds and leaps
Before the strength I was weak
Analysed by an ill critique
Unaware of my feats
Ask me 'bout a set piece and I'll show you how to set peace
Music as a release
Little elbow grease
I was hell hole deep

Silence all the time
I broke it down to science
Must have been out of my mind
Or on the fliest of fly
Either way it's how I'm feeling
Got no reason to lie
See, I came as a book to get signed by the tribe
We shot dice and bet dimes
Read between the lines to uncover the signs
It's discover by design
Don't be smothering my high
Told my mother goodbye
Forever's a long ass time
But she damn well tried to keep me outta my mind
Yeah I'm recovering fine
She's still wondering why
My brother comes by
But I know he's cried
I tell him I've tried, and I try
But he still suffered inside

So, I know in time that I see
No guarantee, but I'm here for thee
But it's been apparent since thirteen no parents were there for me
