about

This is the second single for the album Portrait of a Man

lyrics

Sometimes I wanna change my name
So the past can't find me
I've been escaping all of these caves
Yeah, I been rock climbing
I been tryna look away
From this hate that'll blind me
Show love, show love
Show love and you'll get it right back

Sincerely, I wanna thank everyone that said that I couldn't be shit
All that negativity bled on my shirt so it's stained and I live with it
Wore it on my sleeve never took it off, never let it leave
Never let it hurt for anyone to underestimate me
And lately it's paying off
I mean I'm getting paid good so it's paying off
I know the raps go cheap it ain't working out
But I know it can next week
You as dope as me it don't matter if you late to the scene
To the game, yeah I'm no longer a teen
I'm a grown man, living on my own 'cause my old man
Wants it quiet in his home I respect that
He was cool with the strings, he don't mess with the rap
But he still wants a patch
Only come to one show, I ain't mad, but on the real kind of am
Mama always broke but she heard about a show
Fuck a bus and a bike, she ran
And I don't care who are, what you copped, she my biggest fan
And I can't bother to hit her back
Everybody telling me that I'm intelligent
I don't know how to live with that
Help me if you can

Sometimes I wanna change my name
So the past can't find me
I've been escaping all of these caves
Yeah, I been rock climbing
I been tryna look away
From this hate that'll blind me
Show love, show love
Show love and you'll get it right back

Honestly the problem is finding the right glasses
Seeing trouble with clarity and the path that's ahead of me
With the same pair of shades, can't afford more LensCrafters
I could tunnel vision hard on the wrongs I should right
But I don't so I profit
Poppin tracks out, pressurized bottles of bubbly guilt
Filling up half empty glasses
Let me fill the void in your hand with some please
And a little bit of passions
You could look me in the eyes
Let me know what you think is finna happen
Be my distraction, my muse, and my deity
My reward and the punishment you deem of me
Reflect the love and the hate that you see in me
Waking up being me
Help me if you can

Sometimes I wanna change my name
So the past can't find me
I've been escaping all of these caves
Yeah, I been rock climbing
I been tryna look away
From this hate that'll blind me
Show love, show love
Show love and you'll get it right back

Whoah, slow your roll
Who are you you, why you knocking on my door
I don't recognize the boy I just recognize the clothes
But he died for a hoe back home
So what you tryna tell me, what you tryna show me
Man you insult me
Thinking I'm a write the same books that I been read
Yeah man, cause I know the whole story?
Nah, I got it all right now, you ain't in it
So you're nothing but a buster
I hope you hate your new job you deserve it
Made it my own way this ain't a Burger King service
A Number 5 with a large spite
Another wrong that you can't song
Another song that you can't fight
'Cause I know that you see me with the wrong eyes
And you show up to the crib with bitch like intentions
Like, I don't care
You a coward and pretentious
Check this, word from my mouth
I don't ever wanna see you round the house
Or even speak to me 'cause I know what you about
Yeah, you need to leave while you can peace out
Close the damn door don't let the motherfucking heat out

Sometimes I wanna change my name
