Mister Me Lyrics

What's up Mister Me

Man I'm barely 17

I have dropped my own album

And I made it's name The Dream

I'm still that same kid making schemes

To put me on top of this planet

With these million dollar plans

That only I could understand it

Still hooping on that granite

In the driveway that tells stories

Of our antics from the ants to what we planted

To the play set I gotta hand it to ya

You seem like you've become a man

So much I still don't know I'm back to crawling on my hands

And I'm so glad to know ya

You been from LA to Chattanooga

You got Halle Barry to hallelujahs

You got stories so let me ask a new one

Cuz I ain't perfect

And I want to know your purpose

And if you deal with that same shit that I deal with now man I am nervous

Personally I try to breathe deep to stay sane

Put a smile on my face

Keeping that same dream

That I hope that you have made

And in some ways that you have stayed the same

Mister Me

Do we make it to the league

Do we become a famous rapper

Do we make it on TV

Do we got a house in LA

That overlooks the beach

Do we party till the night ends and the sun comes up the sea

I bet you got the whole world to know the name speechless

Destroyed the game made a new one just to show what you could teach us

Probably sell out arenas

And leave the show with a Gina

And the genies get you thinking

Back to when you were me

And what we did to get there

And how it all came to be

And if this was what we thought when we made that albums name The Dream

I hear your questions and I know you wrote em thoughtfully

And I'll give you my answer your my boy and I'm for honesty

But when I tell you my tale there's something you've got to promise me

Forget it when I'm done for not all stories end in harmony

I finished school and was focused on the music

Tryna make it big in the same way that you do shit

I became married to the game drowning out my other tunes

But little did I know that this shits gon be abusive

But I was locked on to not losing

Still young ignorance at only 22

I thought that this shit should go faster convinced I had the talent so I threw all my assets into shooting for the moon

Invest in yourself ain't that the famous dad quote I flew to LA and started singing it was mad dope

Played my tunes for the suits and the back door

But not soul reacted like a mf bad joke

Broke and broken

Similar when spoken

Similar to hopeless

But different in the moment

Was Tryna find a reason that I'd really keep going

But that shits strong enough to get anybody folding

The white towel that I thrown in

Stained with the tears and the snot my nose blown in

Reality settles after a life thinking I'm chosen

So I settled down and now I'm frozen (frozen)

I been hoping that I'm right at least my friends the same shit

It's been 20 years and yo ass still ain't close to famous

And look how it's been fucking up all your relations

So I got my shit together ain't it crazy how life done changed quick

I'm sorry little homie like a virgin life just came quick

It was bout time I moved on from mommas basement

Please don't hate me

I understand all your frustration

I done gave up on your dream and there's nothing I can replace with
