Who I Am

What makes you see something else when you look at me? What makes you think you and I could never be? I'm not that different from you, I want the same things My white picket fence and kids, american dream It doesn't matter the nature of my skin Some may be blinded but that's just who I am I'm looking for a way out just tryna make it When opportunity comes, you bet I'll slay it If ya just like the next one If your tryna make it through If we all just invest love We will all see the truth Yeah, that's just who I am Yeah, that's who you are Yeah, you see who I am You see me going very far Not that different from you Demanding equality for us too I want my kids to be ok Have a normal day and be safe Sometimes I stay awake at night I pray above and ask him "why?" Diseases infect our lives Will you keep my loved ones fine At times I wanna run away To a place where freedom reigns Escape the daily haunting pain Oh, where it can just be me I see that look in your eyes You don't approve of my life But that's ok because I Don't feel ashamed and here's why I come from the same place as you I was born into the same world as you I'm different, I embrace it, that's true And I pray to the same god as you If ya just like the next one If your tryna make it through If we all just invest love We will all see the truth Yeah, that's just who I am Yeah, that's who you are Yeah, you see who I am You see me going very far
