I’M NOT APOLOGIZING FOR BEING WHO I AM.
THAT’S ONE THING WE NEED TO GET CLEAR.
I’M NOT APOLOGIZING FOR NOT SATISFYING WHO THE HELL YOU THINK I SHOULD BE AND I’M NOT EVEN HERE TO SATISFY YOUR THOUGHTS.
I’M JUST HERE TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF WHO I AM.
I’M NOT YOUR AVERAGE GHETTO NIGGA SUPERSTAR, BABY DADDY WITH BABY MOMMA DRAMA, DOPED OUT, THUGGED OUT, AND CAN’T GET NOWHERE CAUSE HE DROPPED OUT.
GUN PACKIN, LIP SMACKIN, TALK A LOT NIGGA, BUT CAN’T READ A BOOK CAUSE HE’S A DUMB ASS NIGGA.
TRYNA GET RICH ON THEM DIME BAG SALES AND JUST MADE BANK WHEN HE GOT A TICKET TO JAIL- FIRST CLASS.
AND I’M NOT TRYNA GET CAUGHT UP IN NOBODY’S GANG WAR AND I’LL BE DAMNED IF I DIE IN THIS BUSH WAR.
I’M NOT SALUTING TO THESE BLOOD RED, DEAD MAN FLAGS AND I’M NOT PARTING MY LIPS TO RECITE NO PLEDGE.
CAUSE MY ALLEGENCE IS TO MYSELF.
AND IF I GOTTA DIE FIGHTING FOR ME THEN I’MA HOLD TRUE TO MYSELF.
CAUSE MY LIFE IS GIFT NOT TO BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED AND I PRAISE MY GOD ABOVE FOR MAKING ME HAPPEN.
SO ONCE AGAIN I’M NOT APOLOGIZING FOR BEING WHO I AM AND I’M NOT HERE TO REASSURE YOU THAT I’LL FIT INTO YOUR PLANS CAUSE MY LIFE I HOLD DEAR LIKE LIFE SITS IN MY HANDS AND SO SWEET THAT I CAN EAT IT AND GROW BEYOND WHO I AM.
AND LIKE TREES GROW AND RIVERS AND SEAS BEAUTIFULLY FLOW GOD HAS NURTURED ME TO RADIANTLY GLOW.
SO NO, I’M NOT APOLOGIZING FOR BEING WHO I AM CAUSE I’M RICH IN SPIRIT WITH MORE TO GAIN.
