[00:00.88]Yeah, ooh
[00:04.27]Yeah, hold on
[00:07.27]Yeah
[00:19.48]Yeah, okay
[00:21.78]Let me tell it
[00:24.08]Okay, yeah
[00:25.96]Yeah
[00:27.82]All I wanted was respect
[00:30.12]Just want to be accepted
[00:33.07]Too focused on being perfect
[00:35.66]And now that I reflect
[00:37.71]I was blind and I shouldn’t have listened to what you said
[00:42.95]Now there’s a disconnect
[00:44.76]Between me and you
[00:46.35]Now I’m true to myself
[00:48.24]And I make my own moves
[00:50.27]I used to try and be cool
[00:52.04]Impress the kids at school
[00:53.76]But I wasn’t being true to my Goddamn roots (Hol' up)
[00:57.53]I speak from my heart, not my throat
[00:59.23]I said no longer I’d be told the person I am still finding myself
[01:03.14]I really don’t need you to hold me back
[01:05.13]No holding me back, no more discussions 'bout that
[01:08.25]Boy it’s a wrap
[01:09.27]Used to worry about so called “friends”
[01:11.11]But they’d never hit me back, like damn
[01:12.64]Look at how far I’ve come
[01:14.17]But I’ve only just begun
[01:15.43]I tried to run from the person that I was
[01:17.67]Goddamn, how I was so dumb
[01:19.19]But I don’t need your judgement
[01:21.35]Was somebody I wasn’t
[01:23.10]But now I’m here to change that
[01:24.96]And take over the country, oh man
[01:40.11]All I wanted was respect
[01:42.79]Just want to be accepted
[01:45.73]Too focused on being perfect
[01:48.37]And now that I reflect
[01:50.24]I was blind and I shouldn’t have listened to what you said
[01:55.48]Now there’s a disconnect between me and you
[01:59.19]Now I’m true to myself and I make my own moves
[02:02.90]I used to try and be cool, impress the kids at school
[02:06.51]But I wasn’t being true to my Goddamn roots (Hol' up)
