Lecrae - Self Discovery Lyrics

He was, he was a smart kid

It was always about Lecrae 'cause he was the baby

We knew he had somethin' in him

Never expected this though



Now, grandma said we came from Jamaica

Crossed the ocean 'til we made it

And my DNA test said the Westside of the motherland

Is where they take us from, um

Never met my daddy side so I couldn't tell y'all if I'm Zulu or Xhosa

Couldn't tell y'all how I be courtside

Or made it this far without a cosign

Of course I struggled a lot and stayed prayed, praying

Unforgettable

Swae Lee, Swae Lee

Demons Achilles

KD, KD

Now I'm up, is it real life?

And when it get real, I can feel Christ

Heal this branch on the family tree

That was here for me, man, the roots so deep



Self discovery (self discovery)

Self discover me (self discover me)

Help uncover me (help uncover me)

Help me to understand who I'm supposed to be

Not just a wannabe



(It's dangerous over here, this is a dangerous area)

(Gimme my money, fool)



I seen big pain, big loss, but still been big blessed (blessed)

All that cap, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big stress

All y'all want big house, big car, big ice, big checks

Man, I wish y'all did-did-did-did-did that less



(You ain't gon' be nothin')

(You daddy wasn't)

(You ain't gon' be)

(I knew that he always had, uh, something in him)



Yeah, my little cousin was hitting me up

Man, I changed all my numbers, I never knew

Crazy how digits were causin' division

Can't nobody get at the revenue

Seven numbers on a smartphone

Equal Cash App and lights on

I get royalties but I got loyalties

So send a bill, I'll go half on

Half Black, half unknown

Are we Cherokee or Seminole?

I got PTSD running through me from my kinfolk

Stress had me going AWOL

Sin got me acting Adolf

I'm like, "Ayy, y'all, I need days off

I'm depressed having brain fog"

It's obvious I'm highly blessed

I finally get to understand what a man is

When he at his godliest

To get there I was highly stretched

And I was highly stressed



(I gotta deal with Bloods and Crips, Calvanists and charismatics)

(Black, white, red, brown, y'all ain't gon' stress me out)



I seen big pain, big loss, but still been big blessed (blessed)

All that cap, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big stress

All y'all want big house, big car, big ice, big checks

Man, I wish y'all did-did-did-did-did that less
