Self Discovery

Lyrics

He was a smart kid
 It was always about Lecrae 'cause he was the baby
 We knew he had something 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 you 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, it's a 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 discover 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 know 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, had the 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, "Aye 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
