Текст песни: Who Am I + перевод

My fate is refusing to be overlooked by Lost Tapes

I’m sorry for the wait, the F stands for finished

Done being humble when I deserve the attention

I’m on a rise to get what’s mine

Today is the day that my words will never die

Listen close…

This lil nigga from 7 mile, Detroit, keeping his oath

I’m all about growth, like Cozz

Face to face I told Bas

That I’mma be here to stay

That’s why I’m not afraid to drop the same day as Nas

Shhhhhhh, he’s coming

Don’t make a sound

Tell me

What’s a future to a king without his…

(Yeah)

(Aye, look, aye)

Come and find me and you will see (aye)

That this everything that’s meant for me (aye)

This is everything that’s meant for me (yeah)

This is everything that’s meant for me (aye)

But life ain’t really what it seems (no)

Life ain’t really what it seems

I’ll rather go after something than steady dream

I’ll rather go after something than steady dream

What does it mean?

Where do I start?

The world fallin' apart, I’m using art

The world fallin' apart, I’m using art

The world fallin' apart, so leave a mark

Listen

My future in the hands of myself

But lately, I ain’t really feeling myself

All of my friends going to college and tryna earn wealth

While I’m sitting on my ass, dreaming bout what I felt

Nothing at all

The black hole creeping in fall

My heart is feeling like a hundred nails stuck in a wall

I ball, so I don’t think how I lost it all

But my life is really showing me I’m nothing at all

It’s like I

Man I open my eyes for no reason

Came home to niggas hooping, niggas dreaming

Don’t nobody fuck with my city, feelin' like treason

And every day I’m looking for change to change seasons

Damn

Life really wanna keep me full of anger

I’m just tryna rob the devil in a world full of takers

Cutting grass for some cash just to feel like I done made it

But inside, In reality

I’m always left saying

Who am I?

(Aye, look)

Aye, who am I?

(Look, aye)

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I still shine (yeah)

I still shine (yeah)

I realize

That every dream starts somewhere

I still cry

Cause I don’t know if I’m near

So who am I?

Aye, look, who am I?

The sun is always shining

But inside, I’m always crying

In the darkness where you’ll find me

Find me

Oh find me

Won’t you please be right beside me

Before I lose the light around me

I feel alive but yet I’m dying

Dying oh dying

Gotta find a way…

Gotta find a way…

Gotta find a way…

Gotta find a way…

People say when you at your lowest then you reach your highest

I’m at the point where I can’t even tell living from dying

It doesn’t help that somebody stole my wallet, the timing

I walked to the river and almost gave up trying

It was either drown myself or live with crying out for help

I begged the Lord please aye just show me what’s next

Tired of not doing nothing

Tired of second guess

Couple months later, my life changed by who I met

It was like

God put me on this yellow brick road

To this open mic, which was filled with lyrical gold

Poets of all styles, nice, mad, young and old

All spitting their stories to this universal code

I’m saying to myself

I am nothing like this

Why I’m even hear?

God, why you show me this?

I am nothing like these rappers

Cause I know they got a gift

Turns out, I was watching myself in all these other kids

So poetry society you really saved my life

I ended up writing every morning to every night

And ended up meeting some people that was called Tribe

They showed me how to live

But before, I was like

Who am I?

But before I was like, who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

(Aye, look)

Aye, who am I?

(Look, aye)

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I still shine (yeah)

I still shine (yeah)

I realize

That every dream starts somewhere

I still cry

Cause I don’t know if I’m near

So who am I?

Aye, who am I?

The sun is always shining

But inside, I’m always crying

In the darkness where you’ll find me

Find me

Oh find me

Won’t you please be right beside me

Before I lose the light around me

I feel alive but yet I’m dying

Dying oh dying

Gotta find a way…

Gotta find a way…

Gotta find a way…

Gotta find a way…

Heart beating full of joy while escaping these tears

It’s beauty in fear

Cause you never really know

And then you always study the unknown

Which gives you opportunity to grow

Heart beating full of joy while escaping these tears

Am I really near

Or am I miles away?

Am I miles away?

Am I miles away?

Am I miles away?

Am I miles away?

What’s the future to a king without his crown?

Eyes wide with realization to erase pride

To not question the obstacles that lie ahead

But to withstand the human nature of knowing

That there is always a beginning to an end

What’s the future to a king without his crown?

I hide behind my smile when deep down

Inside my body, I shiver at the thought of becoming a somebody

Success around the corner

While my footsteps continue to stay stagnant

Take action and grab it

The mind of a warrior fighting a battle with him

As his greatest weapon

What’s the future to a king without his crown?

Knowing that you’re always looked at as the suspect in the world

While your back is against no wall to stop your fall

Crash landing inside of a pit that has been calling your name

Ever since you began to exist

You were made for this

Not the actual fall

But you were made for the moment when you get to decide

If you want it all

What’s a future to a king without his crown?

Dreams shattering every day as I wake

Preparing to face a duty that I hate

I haven’t dreamt in ages

And I feel my skin peeling as I disintegrate into dust

I’m only 21

But I feel as though I’ve lived as long as the sun

And that things will never change but only evolve

Who am I?

A hider, a seeker

With the ability to find my own way

But would rather stick with what’s safe

I’m not scared, I’m only human

That loves the feeling of a new transition

Only until I realize I’m not used to it

Only thing that can save me is the music

So what’s my future to a king without his crown…
