Who I Am Lyrics - Singles - Locksmith

When I was born my mother was torn crazy 

They nearly gave me away to the wrong lady 

Doctors said "Sorry we didn't see that coming but there's no way in the world that he came from a black woman" 

I guess I been fighting since birth 

I barely had life on this earth 

Already subjected to people and how they judge 

Lit a fare skin 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 playing 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 really fam will you be there to catch me when I land for who I am? 

Who I am is deeper than what they given you 

But second guessing myself was my biggest issue 

For example at the BET Office 

Had an awkward conversation with one of my fellow artist 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 they deal with uncertainty 

And certainly would place the burden on any person but he 

And see it plain but can't explain the direction 

You can break the mirror but can't change your reflection 

Without a aim it all remains as a question 

Will you be there to catch me when I land for who I am?
