wanna be me

Singer:dave east

just tryna be on my own time

everybody need a favor lately

i just wanna be me

i just wanna be me

uh

my aunt barbara died in 2008

my paps became diabetic

he lost a lot of weight

get mad love in my city

still get a lot of hate

but never selfish if i had food the hommies gotta plate

this is my life don't take offense to

we went from riding rentals to more rides great adventure

the ones that's closest give me my distance

i got a temper

missing my daughter

i'm across the country in a sprinter

i never ask niggas for nothing now i'm the one they count on

tryna' smoke some weed

sip some lean

get my bounce on

me and bullet smoking out the bag til' an ounce gone

i ain't just screaming free my niggas

i'm looking out for 'em

i just wanted custom seats in the old capris

wish i was closer with my nephews

so much to show my niece

i'm tryna' make wayno go shopping

this nigga know he cheap

tryna' learn the music industry the way i know the streets

i don't care nothing about nothing

you claim

i'd rather die before i front on my gang

in

in my heart i know the lord done bless me

but why my baby mama gotta stress me?

i'm just tryna' survive in this crazy world

don't call my phone i'm with my baby girl

we might have played the staircases with a lot of henny'

i owe you nothing nigga

not a penny

i just wanna smoke a blunt and watch goodfellas

i just want that foreign shit to make your hood jealous

i just wanna take kairi to dubai

pop a xanny on the flight to help me sleep through the sky

i just wanna wake up and go the gucci store

thinking back when i was broke

i ain't know who to call

did six months

glad the judge ain't give me that two-to-four

he described the pain i felt when people told me you should ball

on the hood just want a week without an interview

want my brother to know if he feeling pain

i feel it too

i used to want angelettie to do an interlude

now it's so many mad rappers

shit if he did it? cool

i make way more than my teachers

fuck how i did in school

i just want a girl that like girls so we can pick and choose

still grippin' tools the city know 'fore it hit the news

we them different dudes trip gotta come with a swimming pool

i don't care nothing about nothing

you claim

i'd rather die before i front on my gang

in

in my heart i know the lord done bless me

but why my baby mama gotta stress me?

i'm just tryna survive in this crazy world

don't call my phone i'm with my baby girl

we might have played the staircases with a lot of henny

i owe you nothing nigga

not a penny
