Just Me

Born 98, I was raised as a scholar Parents taught me well had to strive for the dolla Stay on the hunt tryna make a couple moves Not afraid to win but petrified to lose, I refuse Try to stay the course and pick the right path Couldn't let them racists go and get the last laugh Had to strive hard; stay on my craft Pressure like I was number one overall in the draft Questions like, Jesse, what you wanna be? Or wondering why girls ain't hollering at me Had to choose friends, like fuel to my rocket Made the right decisions like Brady in the pocket ........................................................................................... Reminiscence of a kid, tryna do the family well Gotta stay the course, it ain't hard to tell The story of a boy who was too scared to fail Story of a boy tryna live and tell his tale Gotta work hard, so they all see Last name Moses, First name Jesse Gotta keep the grind you know how it be I'm nothing special, I'm just being me ............................................................................................ One night I was chilling, someone's at my door Hit me with some news that rocked me in my core I gotta go pray, I need to go repent Because my friend went through an accident I think about this moment every single day Because his cousin sadly passed away I went to his house, saw my homie's face All cut up, without any smooth space He was hurting, in a lot of pain A lot of thoughts racing around in my brain When he talked, made me see the light Had me in my room crying the whole night When he was talking, I heard the message loud Don't worry bro, Imma make you proud. .......................................................................................... Reminiscence of a kid, tryna do the family well Gotta stay the course, it ain't hard to tell The story of a boy who was too scared to fail Story of a boy tryna live and tell his tale Gotta work hard, so they all see Last name Moses, First name Jesse Gotta keep the grind you know how it be I'm nothing special I'm just being me ........................................................................................... First day at school, teacher pull out a syllabus Damn seems hard, don't know if I'm feeling this I got to get it though, gotta get the dough Got an opportunity, that's something I can't blow I turned down every club, didnt want to go parties Had to be punctual, so I never got tardies Got to figure out who I want to be So I can be a better me But I couldn't talk to girls, because I had anxiety But that's ok, I'll make it one day That means working in the lab, every single day I had some goals, so I had to persist Wasn't popular, yeah I'm okay with this I just wanted my name to be on the dean's list Now I'm achieving goals, I'm really feeling this Now I'm getting hungrier, only wanting more Look out for me, when I bust through the door .........................................................................................
