lyrics

Verse 1

Wake up in the morning
Smile on my face
So much on my mind
And there's no time to waste
(waiting for my turn)
(living through my pain)
(trynna tell my story)
(trynna make a change)
And they giving me such a hard time
Makes me wanna say

Chorus
I just wanna be my highest self in this bitch(4X)

Verse 2
Living in past times
Forever is mine
Lost in the promise
And my hearts on the line
(What if I don't make it)
(What becomes of me)
(Trynna tell my story)
(What does it all mean)
And they giving me such a hard tme
Makes me wanna say

Chorus

Rap Verse

They say patience is the key
Along with truth stay focused
And you'll see peace
But the
Walls are closing in
My heart is heavy
Seems like love is out my reach
Could it be I'm lookin in the wrong direction
Thats not love it's lustful affection
I'm headed to the liquor store right now
Do you think that I might learn my lesson
They say I look like Travyon Martin in my hoodie
Sallie Mae called yesterday what's goodie
They say I owe her money but I can't pay her back
I asked for a job & she hung up on me
How's that ?
We got 4 people dead in the Roxbury News
And I still wanna know can you walk a mile in my shoes
We out here
Ain't safe tho
Am I target ?
It seems so
it seems so
Am I target ?
It seems so
And I just wanna be my highest self and I&I will survive
Though the powers wish our death
And I&I I will survive
