This Is Me Songtext
Featuring Carlita Durand
(Chorus)
Step back and view the picture (the picture)
And see the colors that paint my life (my life)
It takes a minute to hit ya (to hit ya)
See the shades of the open lights (the open lights)
I wouldn’t change it for a thing (I wouldn’t change)
No matter what this life may bring (what it bring)
So tell me what you see (what you see)
This is me (yea, this is me)
This is me
(Verse)
live from the town, broadcastin
It’s no cuts from the camera, all action
Reality show but oh no actin
All words unheard, it’s no caption
Get the whole feel, no fraction
Home sweet home, I’m lovin it with a passion
Now the folk askin how I did it, how I made it
Out a city like mine but really I can’t explain it
I just tell em that I painted a picture that never faded
Now I’m reminiscin on my past, can’t take it
Cuz it’s a lot from them blocks, didn’t make it
And it’s a few that I knew couldn’t break it
And even though they tried they couldn’t shake it
The drama too bright, can’t shade it
So sun glasses and a prayer what I stay with
Homicide after homicide, same shit
And even if I could, I wouldn’t change shit
(Chorus)
Step back and view the picture (the picture)
And see the colors that paint my life (my life)
It takes a minute to hit ya (to hit ya)
See the shades of the open lights (the open lights)
I wouldn’t change it for a thing (I wouldn’t change)
No matter what this life may bring (what it bring)
So tell me what you see (what you see)
This is me (yea, this is me)
This is me
(Verse)
It hurt like a needle, pain stick
Had my first nightmare at 6 and been awake since
But this kept me cautious of the fake
Yea the wins feel good but the losses made me great, I’m straight
Only one man but I’m 8+2
I’m a ace, I’m stickin on tape
Rock solid, can’t break, dough risin, I’m cake like a bank
I’m worth it, I’m perfect, I’m great
I’m slidin and touchin home base
I’m certain I’m safe and thanks for this landscape space
Thanks to the man upstairs showin me grace
Thanks to my mama, to my sis, to my daddy
To my uncles, to my aunts, to my cousins, to my granny
I thank my whole family, you know I know better
Thanks for the love, you can’t support me no better and…
(Chorus)
Step back and view the picture (the picture)
And see the colors that paint my life (my life)
It takes a minute to hit ya (to hit ya)
See the shades of the open lights (the open lights)
I wouldn’t change it for a thing (I wouldn’t change)
No matter what this life may bring (what it bring)
So tell me what you see (what you see)
This is me (yea, this is me)
This is me
(Bridge x2)
My city, my heart, my blood
My pain, my joy, my love
My hopes, my wishes, my dreams
My block, my street, my city’s my everything
(This is me)
So tell me what you see
This is me
This is me
This is me
This is me
(Chorus)
Step back and view the picture (the picture)
And see the colors that paint my life (my life)
It takes a minute to hit ya (to hit ya)
See the shades of the open lights (the open lights)
I wouldn’t change it for a thing (I wouldn’t change)
No matter what this life may bring (what it bring)
So tell me what you see (what you see)
This is me (yea, this is me)
This is me
