Kowan - True to Self Lyrics

The struggle made me stronger
How could I ever exchange it
My dreams right there
I gotta get it and tame it
If I give up now
How could I ever obtained it
I need good energy
Gotta make some arrangements
Sorry you talking bulls**t
I don't speak your Language
Should mention my name
When you speaking of amazement
My skin tougher than the concrete pavement
I need time to myself on occasion
My thoughts weight a ton
I'm a heavy thinker
Thinking bout a million ways
To get this paper
Thinking if god's real
Or a faker
Am I living in a dream
Am I the savior
If I told you all my thoughts
You'd think I'm crazy
Like Morgan freeman
I ain't driving round some white lady
To take care of hers
She taking care of white babies
Do what she gotta do
Most n****s lazy

Stay true true to self aye
Stay true true to self aye
And sometimes I need reminders
I get trapped in a bubble
And I just call it how I see it
And my vision is tunneled
Stay true true to self aye
Stay true true to self aye
And how dear I try to change it
Man I feel so ashamed
And I ain't making no excuses
I got no one to blame

All these sight dilemmas
It's extra cold in the winter
A n***a walk for miles in the snow
It's like December
Ain't no sympathy for us
Grew up with the wolf pack
If I was down and out
Needed to get my breath back
Wouldn't tag you n***s in
In a tag team match
I ain't get your help then
So I don't need your help now
Paranoid that one day
I'ma have a meltdown
Things were getting weird
But I always stayed sincere
Don't compare me to none of these n****s After this year
If it's Kowan versus everbody
I do not care
Me myself and I
That's the three musketeers
Look up to the sky
Just to get my mind clear
Done with getting high
That s**t f****d me up yeah
Never was my thing but
The pressure peer
I don't smoke or drink
F**k the weed and the beer
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah

Stay true true to self aye
Stay true true to self aye
And sometimes I need reminders
I get trapped in a bubble
And I just call it how I see it
And my vision is tunneled
Stay true true to self aye
Stay true true to self aye
And how dear I try to change it
Man I feel so ashamed
And I ain't making no excuses
I got no one to blame

I'm no drug dealer
No gangsta or killer
Just a real n***a
It don't get no realer
Everybody's in character
Playing a movie role
Tough in the studio
Fake in your videos
N****s will never know
The power in being you
Mind has a mind of its own
It goes wherever it goes
I walk around with these feelings
Uncomfortable to expose
Careful with what I say
Careful on how it's told
Barely been on this earth
But yet I'm feeling so old
Bury me in my burden
I swear I carry a load
Got no plans to be dying
I know the s**t down the road
Body really a temple
My mind body and soul
Patience is at its limit
I'm juiced up as a lemon
Throwing a petty party
Got no intentions to be attending
My rights and wrongs are different from yours who says I'm sinning
I'm not a drinker but here's a toss
To new beginnings

Stay true true to self aye
Stay true true to self aye
And sometimes I need reminders
I get trapped in a bubble
And I just call it how I see it
And my vision is tunneled
Stay true true to self aye
Stay true true to self aye
And how dear I try to change it
Man I feel so ashamed
And I ain't making no excuses
I got no one to blame
