This Is Me
[Verse 1}
January the third nineteen eighty something
Torea Murray and Gary Pryor created something
A sinister menace, and if he lay these hands on you like a minister
It ain't to save you boy it's to finish ya
And with a sentence bring an ending to your already diminishing district
With division that was already written
And if you still don't get the picture I'm penning
Then I'ma peel out the Smith 'N, leave you a victim on Bennin -n-n-n-n
Road, here we go, back to smashing your ego
Crashing a Regal and bashing the skull of the bald eagle
That's symbolism from the mind that's full of cynicism
He was serving time without the judge even sentencing him
So fuck the system it can suck my dick and it can take offense
It got me on the defensive like I'm setting a pick
Yeah fuck the system it don't want us to succeed
But we will ascend to new levels we just gotta believe
[Hook]
This Is Me
My name is Lord Gary and I'm coming straight out of D.C
This is Me
5'6", light skin, cornrows and a long goatee
This is me
Born in SouthEast but raised and represent NorthEast
This is me
Everyday of the week blue jeans and a Lord Gary Tee, c'mon
[Bridge]
I am what I am (I am lord)
I can't be nobody else (oh no)
I can only be me (I can only be me baby)
And gain respect for myself (let's go)
[Verse 2]
The beats monsterous so I know I gotta speak with confidence
Breach the consciousness of America because they're wrong for this
Leadership that they've appointed
My name is Gary, I'm a Lord yes I've been annointed, keep your annoyances
I try to keep the drama down to a minimum
And become the greatest rapper and every other synonym of it
Without being feminine in it, give me a minute
I'm Eminem and Evanescence mixed with Jimmy Hendrix and you wack
Plus you lack sustainability
You must attain ability to gain you some stability
I rap with such agility it's difficult to keep up
While you sleeping and sending Z's up nigga we up
To re-up and reap what we sow
Gotta let them know, that I'ma grow until my glow is indigo
Ultra instinct bitch, yes, I am lord
Got your whore on my surfboard screaming "All aboard"
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Why would I want to be another dude
Riddle me this, who do you better than you?
Nobody do me better than me so I'ma keep doing what I do best
Give you that G-Unit feeling without the bullet proof vest
Meaning I'm something refreshing for the culture
Vultures want me to sign all my rights over, no sir
Chauffeurs scooping me in Rovers (skir-skir)
Hoes be wanting me to come over (slurp-slurp)
I be laid back soft spoken at times
The physical manisfestation of my brain is a mime
I feel like I'm voiceless, boxed-in, and trying to get out, huh
Feels like I should've been had my life figured out, huh
Feels like I should been doing music that's why I do it
But it feels like I've been cursed in this city trying to persue it
Everybody knows that I'm one of the greatest doing it
Nigga I wrote iLLmatic Flow c'mon
[Chorus] End
