Lecrae - Self Discovery lyrics
[Lecrae - Self Discovery lyrics]
He was a smart kid
It was always about Lecrae 'cause
He was the baby
We knew he had somethin' in him
We never expected this though
Now, grandma said we came from Jamaica
Crossed the ocean, 'til we made it
And my DNA test said the Westside
Of the motherland is where they take us from
Um, never met my daddy's side
So I couldn't tell y'all if
I'm Zulu or Xhosa
Couldn't tell y'all how I be courtside
Or made it this far without a cosign
Of course, I struggled a
Lot and stayed prayed, prayin'
Unforgettable, Swae Lee, Swae Lee
Demons Achilles, KD, kD
Now I'm up, it's a real life
And when it gets real, I can feel Christ
Heal this branch on the family tree
That was here for me man, the roots so deep
Self-discovery (Self-discovery)
Self discover me (Self discover me)
Help uncover me (Help uncover me)
Help me to understand who I'm supposed to be
Not just a wannabe
It's dangerous over here
This is a dangerous area
Give me my money, fool!
I've seen big pain, big loss
But still been big blessed (Blessed)
All that cap big, big, big, big, big, big
Big stress (Stress)
All y'all want big house, big car, big ice
Big checks (Checks)
Man, I wish y'all did, did, did, did
Did that less
You ain't gonna be nothin'-
Your daddy wasn't-, you ain't gonna be-
I know that he always had, uh
Something in him
My little cousin was hittin' me up, man
I changed all my numbers I never knew
Crazy how digit's were causing division
Can't nobody get at the revenue
Seven numbers on a smartphone
Equal cash app the lights on
I get royalties, but I got
Loyalties, so send a bill
I'll go half on it half black, half unknown
Are we Cherokee or Seminole?
I got PTSD runnin' through
Me from my kinfolk stress had me going AWOL
Sin got me actin' Adolf
I'm like "Aye y'all, I need
Days off, I'm depressed, having brain fog"
It's obvious, I'm highly blessed
I finally get to understand what a man
Is when he at his godliest to get there
I was highly stretched and
I was highly stressed
I gotta deal with Bloods and Crips
Calvinists
And charismatics, black, white, red, brown
Y'all ain't gon' stress me out!
I've seen big pain, big loss
But still been big blessed (Blessed)
All that cap big, big, big, big, big, big
Big stress (Stress)
All y'all want big house, big car, big ice
Big checks (Checks)
Man I wish y'all did, did, did, did
Did that less
