Look I'm living large thinking smart instead of hard
Tryna' live beyond the past of the things that left me scarred
Sticks and stones can break bones, but words can break my heart
And when I feel like we getting closer you just try to push me far
But I, never let another guy, think for me
Because I, need to find the truth of my, identity
And I can't do it around all of this negative energy
And maybe I'll come back around break your tendencies
Things were going good when you were 'bout to change your thoughts
Now suddenly we breaking apart when should've done that s**t from the start
You want me on the top of the class well I wanna be on the top of the charts
And you thinking that everything's going so pleasantly let me tell you that it's not
But, look at me now, living the way I know how, uh
Up in the clouds, not planning on tryna' come down, uh
Not making a sound, 'cause I'm listening to the crowd, uh
They say that they proud, thinking that they know what I am about, but
N***a you don't even know the half of me
Always talking over me and never asking me
I've been through a lot and yet I still pass defeat
And you saying that you proud of me but actually
You never considered
That one day I'll be at the grammies and actually become a winner
Now you trying to so hard to paint up a picture
Of s**t that ain't happen somebody come get her
I got all these dreams and doing these things now all I gotta do is get up
But as long as you black in America you gone always be considered a n***a, n***a
Great, now I'm back to my reality
Around a bunch of people who will never treat me naturally
Damn this s**t is saddening, what the hell is happening
How come ever time I'm doing me there's someone mad at me
Well f**k it Ima do it anyway that I wanna do
'Cause people always talking so don't let 'em get up under you
And I ain't bringing no one with me if you never wanted to
I'm breaking apart with all of y'all so now it's time to make my move
