I grew up, a ****ing screw up, tie my shoe up
Wish they was newer, damn, need something newer
In love with the baddest girl in the city, I wish I knew her
I wish I wasn't so shy, I wish I was a bit more fly
I wish that I could tell her how I really feel inside
That I'm the perfect nigga for her, but then maybe that's a lie
She like a certain type of nigga, and it's clear I'm not that guy
Ball player, star player, I'm just watchin' from the side
On the bench, 'cause my lack of confidence won't let me fly
I ain't grow up with my father, I ain't thinkin' 'bout that now
Fast forward four years or so from now, I'll probably cry
When I realize what I missed, but as of now my eyes are dry
'Cause I'm tryna stay alive, in the city where too many niggas die
Dreamin' quiet trying to dodge a suit and tie
Who am I? (La la la)
Ayy, who am I? (La la la la la, yeah)
Things change, rearrange and so do I
It ain't always for the better, dawg, I can't lie
I get high 'cause the lows can be so cold
I might bend a little bit but I don't fold
One time for my mind and two for yours
I got food for your thoughts to soothe your soul
If you see my tears fall, just let me be
Move along, nothing to see
I always did shit the hard way
My nigga slangin' in the hallway
Burnt CD's and trees like this was Broadway
Times Square, kept the dimes there in the locker
Some Reggie Miller with more brown hairs than Chewbacca
Dime for a dub, them white boys ain't know no better
Besides, what's twenty dollars to a nigga like that?
I peeped game, got home snatched my mama keychain
Took her whip, the appeal, too ill to refrain
I hit the boulevard, pull up to my nigga front do'
His mama at home, she still let 'em hit the blunt though
I told her, "Hello", and sat with my nigga and laughed
And talked about how we gon' smash all the *****es in class
I complimented how I see him out here getting his cash
And just asked, "What a nigga gotta do to get that?
Put me on," he just laughed when he seen I was sure
17 years breathing, his demeanor said more
He told me, "Nigga, you know how you sound right now?
If you wasn't my mans, I would think that you a clown right now
Listen, you everything I wanna be, that's why I ****s with you
So how you looking up to me when I look up to you?
You 'bout to go get a degree, I'ma be stuck with two choices:
Either graduate to weight or selling number two
For what? A hundred bucks or two a week?
Do you think that you would know what to do if you was me?
I got, four brothers, one mother that don't love us
If they ain't want us, why the **** they never wore rubbers?"
I felt ashamed to have ever complained
About my lack of gear and thought about how far we done came
From trailer park to a front yard with trees in the sky
Thank you mama, dry your eyes, there ain't no reason to cry
You made a genius and I, ain't gon' take it for granted
I ain't gon' settle for lesser, I ain't gon' take what they handed
Nah, I'm gon' take what they owe me and show you that I can fly
And show old girl what she missing, the illest nigga alive
Ayy, who am I?
Things change, rearrange and so do I (Ayy, who am I?)
It ain't always for the better, dawg, I can't lie (Who am I?)
I get high 'cause the lows can be so cold
I might bend a little bit but I don't fold
One time for my mind and two for yours
I got food for your thoughts to soothe your soul
If you see my tears fall, just let me be
Move along, nothing to see
I never felt better

我在穷困潦倒中成长 鞋带又松了
它又不是我的 操 我就想要些新东西
我爱上了她 我想和她认识
我要是不那么害羞就开口了 我要是再帅一些她就看上我了
要是 我能告诉她我心里最真诚的想法就好了
我就是她万中无一的人选 但这句听上去才像谎话
她确实有喜欢的人 但绝对不是我这样的
有钱的 有名的 而我只能坐在场下
我只是个替补 我的自尊心让我没法抬头
我没有父亲这件事 我其实不太想提
如果那时候让我知道四年后的情况 我想我会哭吧
特别是知道我错过了那么多美好之后 但我现在长大了
我每天忙于奔波 特别是在这个每天都有人丧命的城市中
偷偷地做着一个不用上班的梦
我是谁？
那时的我到底是谁？
时过境迁 英雄迟暮
世事无常 难以言喻
世态炎凉 枯鱼涸辙
事与愿违 成王败寇
希望你 心有所向 心有所属
食我所言 不负朝夕
若见我胸口酸楚 泪湿衣裳
请给我温柔双目
我选择的都是最困难的那条路
我的朋友在走廊做着非法生意
大声放着音乐 冒着烟雾 置身于百老汇之中
或者像时代广场一样 在储物箱里放着一点本钱
也就是为了些次品 看着像楚巴卡 还带着棕色的刺
他还小声地说着 我捡到大便宜了
10块钱的货转手就卖20 反正那些白人小孩又不懂行
而且20块对于他们来说又算什么
就跟他爹说今天中午要吃点好的 然后就有钱了
我看他生财有道 回家先把妈妈的钥匙拿走
开着她的车 可真是辆复古车 连火都打不着
上了街 停在我朋友家门口
他妈妈在家 他居然还在呼着
我和她打过招呼后 就和我朋友闲聊起来
聊着我们要如何搞上我们班的姑娘
我奉承着对他说 你能挣钱了可太棒了
还问他我要怎样才能像你一样
挣钱的时候算我一个 他看我这么坚定 随即笑笑
那时才17岁的他对我严肃的说了很多
他跟我说 你知道你来说什么吗
你要是不是我兄弟 我肯定觉得你来搞笑
听好了 其实我是想像你一样 才跟你一起混的
我这么羡慕你 你居然会羡慕我
你会拿到学位 而我只有两条路
要不毕业即失业 要不就去走上歧途
为了什么 为那一周几百块
你真的觉得 我能看清未来前方的路吗
我有四个兄弟和一个根本不关心我们的妈妈
如果她这么嫌弃我们 当初为什么不就不带好呢
我这时想到之前我所抱怨的物质生活 我感到无比羞愧
然后想到了我们经历的那些事
住在拖车里 而我家还树荫庇院
谢谢你 妈妈 不要再难过 抬起头来
你的孩子很棒 我向你保证
我不会再安于现状 再恳求施舍
我会让他们如数奉还 让所有人都高看我
然后让那个姑娘知道错过了我 我才是最好的
我现在又是谁
时过境迁 英雄迟暮
世事无常 难以言喻
世态炎凉 枯鱼涸辙
事与愿违 成王败寇
希望你 心有所向 心有所属
食我所言 不负朝夕
若见我胸口酸楚 泪湿衣裳
