Lyrics Who Am I - Arealius

It's Mp3 man
I'm coming a lil different on this one
Can't even lie I got inspired by my cousin that did this beat a couple years ago
So I said why not give my take

Who am I-I tell you nigga I arrived
18 years young I'm lucky to be alive
I know niggas younger than me that fucked around and died
Tryna get through life and all of its tides
A hard road to get across when you from the hood
Always getting some kinda news just hoping that it's good
I ain't gone front I ain't have it the worst
But I know coming from the D can be a gift and a curse
A young scholar trying not reach a hearse
Staying out the streets so I don't go under first
I'm talking my parents putting me up in the dirt
I keep my head in the books trying not to get murked
Raised from the mile them gun shots they spread around
And so I got used to that sound
And tried stay chill and crack a smile
In the D you get killed for having a frown
A simple frown on yo fucking face
And so growing up it was hard to find my place
Trying not to go too fast but keep my pace
And now here I am in the present day
Running through success like I'm in a race
Marc where you been bro you been MIA
Yea the same ol story I said I'm here to stay
Except I'm on a new path and I'm geared to play
I'm that beast from the cage you feared would escape
Wassup Diesel I'm coming up it's no debate
Try not to go against me or you'll meet your fate
I'm hungry like I'm homeless man I just wanna plate
Ready whenever go ahead and set the date
I got my brothers to hold me down I can't be fake
Lil Detroit flavor call it a lil taste
Like Jay I'm out for presidents to represent me
Heard around like a downloaded M P 3
That's my name lil homie yea you know me
Cuz I stay speaking truth and I do it for free
No need for a fortune teller cuz I do it better
You can call me the news cuz I predict the weather
I see a blizzard coming yea it's about to form
But you ain't gone see it coming it's a quiet storm
No pun intended just hear me out
I'm making love to the beat you can call it my spouse
I'm in love with the suites you can call me a Sprouse
I'm in love with the cheese but don't call me a mouse
Don't get it confused cuz I ain't no rat
Yea I said it before yea so raven that
Chemistry with these words I belong in a lab
It's Mp3 and I'm out yea I told you I'm back
