Lyrical Analysis of...
The Way {I Am} (prod. snaresallday)
- Everything I've done in my life, I did it my way
- since My mom used to dress me, I learned the hard way
- Who the heck wears long socks with burgenstock slippers?
- I'm like 10 years old, mom, just let me wear some t shirts.
- Never fit in the first place, I guess that's my fault
- Couldn't handle the fact I was different, a pitfall
- so I played defense twenty four seven
- to make up for my Asian rotund circumference
- A paranoid freakazoid, second place weirdo
- to a kid who actually struggled with retard labels
- I don't know how many times I've cried in the shower
- Pitiful, those words still haunt me when I'm in a downer
- On the bright side of things, my mom believed in prayer
- and God blinded me, so I could look beyond my errors
- Flashes before my eyes, change flied like bullets do
- Faster than D Wade's cuts for an alley oop (so)
- I hit junior and senior with my swagger high
- Learned to be a nice guy, avenge all my sad nights
- In the battlefield, hallways all full of teen angst
- Stood tall with my skin thick from my past weight
- My past pain became my pain killer
- Feasting on awkward, the new word for swagger
- So I don't give an F to kids who had failed life
- Failed mighty to fit in with the school, the cool crowd
- New rules for my people, I called it underground
- Fight against the values that bury you underground
- As the time past, my kingdom grew
- to appreciate the weak, the meek, and the few
- Who is it at the door, that keeps on knocking?
- I am the danger, and my walls will soon come crumblin'
- cuz People idolize human goodness
- but more often than not, we're all witness
- ses, to selfishness, born out of innocence
- How long until we blame our fellow immigrants?
- We protect those we love, die if we have to
- But we live long enough to see ourselves in Phase 2
- that's, I believe in me, the good that's inside
- Harvey Dent did too, and we're close right behind
- My life has been crushed trying to be the hero
- to Zero, going the distance for me it's too narrow
- Evil on all fronts, left, right, or even middle
- Malcolm's passion crossing into vigilan te
- Justice? Even the Watchmen couldn't handle
- Same with We the People despite the preamble
- The world has a right to say don't believe in gambles
- So it's hard for me, to grasp the man in sandals
- Who apparently lived, died, live, to break and dismantle
- Every single thing that binds us in shackles
- and the chains on me, now they've won the battle
- but I'll pledge my allegiance to this God in sandals
- No need to argue about his facial features
- Jesus Walked in his story, that's all that matters
- Power to the people, people misunderstand
- With power comes responsibility, said Uncle Stan
- I believe in no man, call me a hater
- We can't always expect ourselves to be the savior
- To each his own, role players matter
- Lebron won the ring, but Jesus won the banner
- So let go of your pride, James, no need to stand
- Alone, in this life, just know The Way I am.
- The Great I am
