Songtexte As I Am - Savage Mind

Pieces of me, pieces of me
Look, ayy, yeah
You only see a version of me that you want to see
Perception often misinterprets truth and true belief
Do you believe that you could change the way they look at me
Only way to find the balance, finna plant the seed
Don't let the the doubts control the way you move, resist the feed
Don't let 'em take control of labor make 'em pay the fee
You know your worth, that's on them if they can't believe
That's how I stay afloat, mediate my inner peace
I been, caught up in situations
Chances I be taking i'm making my way i'm staying
I pray all my arrangements can break all the containment
Of pain, sorrow, and suffering, peace but not complacent
I piece together all my hopes and my dreams
I brush off the surface, working hard with my team
Yes, joy and happiness and everything between
Till the angels start calling for me, yeah

No matter where I stand
All the expectations never dictate who I am
Going through my struggles but I'm sticking to my plan
Ain't no way around it, you gon take me as I am, as I am
Ayy, no matter where I stand
All the expectations never dictate who I am
Going through my struggles but I'm sticking to my plan
Ain't no way around it, you gon take me as I am, as I am

I ain't trying what's prescribed to me by crooked men
See through the fake bitch don't lie to me I cant depend
Inconsistent but persistent with the holy plan
I do this shit because I love it and because I can
Can't help but think about the people with these doubts
Not pursuing things for love, only work for clout
I can't live like that, no matter all the broken routes
Follow happiness, I want you to be better now
Tear down every single wall
Shatter all perceptions break the barriers and fall
Get yourself back up 'cause you tough but they all
Underestimate you 'cause they can't see through the fog
I know that one day you gon trust yourself and love yourself
Protect yourself but check yourself, don't stress yourself
Dont be so fucking hard on yourself, ayy
There's plenty room to grow
Hustle while you centered so you'll find yourself back home

No matter where I stand
All the expectations never dictate who I am
Going through my struggles but I'm sticking to my plan
Ain't no way around it, you gon take me as I am, as I am
Ayy, no matter where I stand
All the expectations never dictate who I am
Going through my struggles but I'm sticking to my plan
Ain't no way around it, you gon take me as I am, as I am
You gon take me as I am, as I am
Take me as I am, as I am
Look, take me as I am, as I am
Take me as I am, as I am
