(Verse 1)
This is my first impression, y’all/
I pour my Soul out in this Session, y’all/
I guess I’m blessin’ y’all/
Try not to get lost in my thoughts/
But see my mind is filled with problems like math lessons, y’all/
It’s hard to stand tall when I’m who they expect to Fall/
Winter time cold/
But I’m a winner times fo’/
Me and my niggas tryin’ to blow/
But see my city dyin’ slow, so/
We play the game/
They tootin’ the damned whistles/
Them niggas takin’ shots but they shootin’ wit’ jammed pistols/
When it comes to makin’ decisions, fuck it right’ll do/
I won’t attend every argument I’m invited to/
My Mama always tells me, “nobody’s as bright as you”/
And in my head I’m like, “Mama, you’re fuckin’ right”/
It’s true/
‘Cause ever since birth I had to work for the rankin’/
And church niggas bankin’/
So I’d Kirk for them Franklins/
I been knew how it felt to see my competition under me/
Livin’ wit’ myself, bitch/
And I’m in good company.

(Chorus)
They say I’m a problem/
But it takes one to solve one/
If you would look me in my eyes/
Maybe you could see it like me/
They say I’m a problem/
But it takes one to solve one/
If you would look me in my eyes/
Maybe you could see it like me.

(Verse 2)
Take a look in my eyes/
And see the pain I often try to hide/
You probably get exhausted tryna walk a mile in mine/
See my thoughts troubled/
Sittin’ thinkin’ about my Pops’ struggle/
‘Cause of the pigment, when I’m sentenced/
Man, I’m tossed double/
Or how to keep from goin’ under when these broads love you/
Or how to make ‘em feel my Thunder, man I’m not Russell/
And I can’t seem to find the words and this is not Ruzzle/
I will not walk subtle/
I cannot tread soft/
Wit’ every verse I spit, I’m tryna take they heads off/
And every line I write, I’m tryna make history/
And every bar I drop, I hope that they remember me/
I take what they ain’t give to me/
Middle finger to my enemy/
My life’s director yelled “action!”, motherfucker/
You know I’m the same/
Though I grow I never change/
Not for money, pussy, or ‘cause of the actions of another/
No matter my environment/
Never lose my enlightenment/
I’m me.

(Chorus)
