Lyrics Who Am I - Dux Duce

I am an Artist, a Student, a Street Scholar
The son of a crack head who seems to be doing better
The Rapper, the Father, and i'm the Brother
I am the lover who got game
Dealt with life, I lost a daughter
Now I got an angel hanging right over my left shoulder
I am a roller and take that how you want to
The way that you interpret it, will only just interpret you
I am the leader that leads a whole family
I have destroyed a life or two but I ain't sayin who
I am the one who helped a brother when he needed it
I am a work aholic only cause I need the chips
I am offended when they gentrify my neighborhood
But yet i'm dining in it, acting like i'm one of them

Who am I, who am I, who am I
Well I don't fucking know
Who am I, who am I
Sophisticated, educated, real street nigga
Who am i, who am i
I am an artist, a student, a street scholar

Who am I, who am I, who am I
Well I don't fucking know
Who am I, who am I
Sophisticated, educated, real street nigga
Who am i, who am i
I am an artist, a student, a street scholar

Im evil when the demons inside me
Try to show life
Powerful enough to know
That I contain that
Reverse it with a fake smile and always try to give back
Its a Broadway show and don't ever forget that
Nah
I am an actor in the game of life
Doing it, my 9-5
Student in the teachers eyes
Teacher to the student eye
I am a master of the art a man damaged in the heart
Taught to ignore it and never mend the parts
I am a distraught human being
But still got feelings I work on Bi-weekly
To keep a week for playing
So understand ain't much different than you and me
I am a man just like you, I got a mission
I am that nigga that dictates at every session
I am an artist, a student and street scholar

Who am I, who am I, who am I
Well I don't fucking know
Who am I, who am I
Sophisticated, educated, real street nigga

Who am i, who am i
I am an artist, a student, a street scholar
Who am I, who am I, who am I
Well I don't fucking know

Who am I, who am I
Sophisticated, educated, real street nigga
Who am i, who am i
I am an artist, a student, a street scholar

The rapper that lived through generations that taught em
Nas taught me money was a hoe dressed in Victoria
Pun taught me gotta eat the chocha Puerto Rican culture
Dre messed with a white boy, hip hop petroleum
Exposed the meaning of making records, even when niggas don't like me
For that forever grateful E was legendary
An icon and was true to me
Imagine being famous, have my idols for enemies
Gotta thank em all now before I reach that pedestal
Ya niggas made me who I am, for that forever grateful
Cole gave me a vision, taught me how to pay homage
Kendrick story telling modern day slick Rick
And the labels understand it so they keep the name similar
Formulas can teach us so a nigga stay studying
Making, sure that the products up
Huh
I am an artist a student a Street Scholar
