When I was born my mother was torn crazy They nearly gave me away to the wrong lady Doctor says Sorry, we didn't see that comin', But there's no way in the world that he came from a black woman. I guess I've been fighting since birth I barely had life on this Earth Already subjected to people and how they judge Little fair skinned baby resentment was in my blood I would love to say things got easier as I grew But conflict in my family was nothing new My parents in the kitchen they bitching at one another My brother my role model so playin' women was cool Cool until you start to mature start to endure What is real life and finally admit when you're insecure Pure honesty promise me if you can That you'll be there to catch me when I land It's who I am It's who I am Will you be there to catch me when I land For who I am? Need you to understand Everything I'm not made me everything I am And if we're really fam Will you be there to catch me when I land for who I am (Verse 2) SongtexteWho I am is deeper than what they're giving you But second guessing my self was my biggest issue For example at the BET office Had an awkward conversation with one of my fellow artists he said I used to rap just like you But that was going nowhere so to help my own career Had to switch it up stressing he's one of my known peers Then I realized he was projecting his own fears Fear I had the courage of what he urges to be So instead of showing love he'd rather discourage me And that's how people feel when the deal with uncertainty And certainly would place the burden on any person but me And see it plain but can't explain the direction You can break the mirror but can't change the reflection Without a aim and all remains is a question Will you be there to catch me when I land It's who I am It's who I am Will you be there to catch me when I land For who I am? Need you to understand Everything I'm not made me everything I am And if we're really fam Will you be there to catch me when I land for who I am It's who I am It's who I am Will you be there to catch me when I land For who I am? Need you to understand Everything I'm not made me everything I am And if we're really fam Will you be there to catch me when I land for who I am (Thanks to Dominick for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
