[Intro: Ameer]
(riff throughout)
I ain't the same nigga that I once was
I lost my fucking mind and then I fell in love
I did a bunch of drugs, because I couldn't sleep
I lost a couple months, I chipped my fucking teeth
And there's a couple women, and they know some things
About lies that I done told and shit that I done said
And niggas that I robbed, so I'm real paranoid
I have voices in my head
[Verse: MERLYN]
CHi, my name is Merlyn, I Fjust applied for food stamps
AmI just moved to California, with my boy band
CDropped out of a good school, Fhippies in my commune
I lAmeft 'fore the rent was due, used to want a briefcase
CAnd a short commute, uFsed to wanna sell coke
AmAnd whip an Audi coupe, crazy if I did that
CWouldn't be talking to you
FWalking through the pit Amfalls of a college student
Crazy how you get them Cletters and that make you feel Faccepted
Til you walking 'round the Amcampus and you the only African
Nobody with Cpassion, just cats that take direFction well
Take Amacid trips to find themselves, well...
[Hook: Kevin]
CI gotta get Fbetter at being Amme
(Being who I am)
CI gotta get Fbetter at evAmerything
(Being who I am)
CI just want a Ffriend that I can hang Amout with
(Being who I am)
CSomeone I can Fsit around, lay on my Amcouch with
(Being who I am)
[Verse 3: Kevin]
(riff)
Ever since I moved out, I've been broke
(riff)
Ever since I grew up, I've been ugly
COoh, I need get me some doFllar, dollar, dollar bAmills y'all
CEver since I left my momma hFouse, I've been mad as hell Amat the world
CSometimes you don't gotta rFhyme when you feel iAmt
CSometimes I barely ever fFeel a fucking thangAm
CSometimes I wish that my fucking Fphone would fucking ringAm
And go off, and wake a nigga up
I'm Cused to being sad and I'm uFsed to being down
I'm Amused to being used, I miss my boy being around
[Hook: Kevin]
CI gotta get Fbetter at being Amme
(Being who I am)
CI gotta get Fbetter at evAmerything
(Being who I am)
CI just want a Ffriend that I can hang Amout with
(Being who I am)
CSomeone I can Fsit around, lay on my Amcouch with
(Being who I am)
[Bridge: Matt]
C* F*
Droppin' all I got on this one day
Am*
I just wanna be somebody someday
C* F*
Droppin' all I got on this one way
Am*
I just wanna be somebody someday
CDroppin' all I got on this Fone day
AmI just wanna be somebody someday
CDroppin' all I got on this Fone way
AmI just wanna be somebody someday

[Outro: Dom]
C* F*
I'm trying to look for motivation of smaller things
Am*
But baby steps to my atonement when I foster dreams
C* F*
I've been told I'm too transparent with my thoughts sometimes
Am*
So I wrote songs until they pass, and I can fall in line
C* F*
I fell apart the moment that you thought you found yourself
Am*
Cause I knew at that point, I couldn't be in the equation anymore
C* F*
But moving on with open, broken hearts
Am*
Will show you everything you need to see about yourself to start moving forward
C* F* Am*
So many things I wanna say that I'm not sure need to be known
C*
But everybody swears they fucking know me
F* Am*
So why, don't I lay every card I'm holding on the table?
C*
At that point I wonder what they'd show me
F* Am*
I almost lost my father, still surreal for me to think about
C*
Considering how many of my friends have lost theirs
F* Am*
I never know if what I'm saying is the right thing
C*
If not, I'm ready more than ever for the crosshairs
F*
It's all fair when it's not you
Am*
Some people have angels, what if only shadows follow you?
C* F*
And all the ghosts inside that seem to hollow you
Am*
The branches of the weeping willow start to swallow you
C** F**
And then you realize you're exactly where you're supposed to be
A** C** F** A**
The horizon clears, you wipe the tears
And all the skeletons are r
