Anthony Sawyers - This Is Me Lyrics

Let me tell you a story bout 94
Before I knew anything bout he died and he rose
I was a youngin, moving from the ledge to the grove
In B-Town, No hood but they ride for the cove

Never knew much bout the crack on the stove
Had to cut the grass, put your back in it yo
Just an average kid, with some bandages
Tryna a kick-flip, never landing it

Nowhere better to be, was never running the streets
Unless I was playing ball, everyday of the week
(Cuz it) Made sense, Just a kid from the matrix
Took a different path than my class and my main friends

Tried to find approval in the main trends
But what if I ain't good enough, hood enough (Same Thing)
That's when my heart sunk, Let my brain sink
Walking in that dark place, rocks fall cave in

(This is me) Story of the madness, balancing the pain and the gladness
(This is me) Reality and dreams and everything floating in between
(This is me) Searching for a queen, while worshiping the glory of the King
(This is me) Everything I know, come take a walk along the coast (This is me)

Wanted to rap since I heard Luda's number one spot
Nas's book of rhymes, we be writing non-stop
Print the words and rap with my friends in the class
Cuz I'd rather put the pen to the pad than do math

Remix my fav songs everyday with Wrecklesz
Felt like i was rapping in the sixth dimension
Cool edit session crash, alright we getting past
Just tryna get it right, we broke ain't getting cash

Ain't the best in the class, but got the raps in the bag
Said the first will be last, we so late to the lab
Facing the facts, the fame and the fans
Said I'd never change til I heard my name in the stands (So I)

Tried to find approval in the main trends
But what if I ain't good enough, hood enough (Same Thing)
That's when my heart sunk, Let my brain sink
Walking in that dark place, rocks fall cave in

(This is me) Story of the madness, balancing the pain and the gladness
(This is me) Reality and dreams and everything floating in between
(This is me) Searching for a queen, while worshiping the glory of the King
(This is me) Everything I know, come take a walk along the coast (This is me)

So now I'm fully whole and I don't need your likes
I'm a son of the King, All I need is Christ
One day I get to go and see the Light
On heaven's throne and never leave His sight

I Don't need your approval or your trends
Opening the gates, free from all the sins
Letting go of everything that clings
In the end we always win
New life, New sight, New story begins

(This is me) Story of the madness, balancing the pain and the gladness
(This is me) Reality and dreams and everything floating in between
(This is me) Searching for a queen, while worshiping the glory of the King
(This is me) Everything I know

(This is me) Story of the madness, balancing the pain and the gladness
(This is me) Reality and dreams and everything floating in between
(This is me) Searching for a queen, while worshiping the glory of the King
(This is me) Everything I know, come take a walk along the coast (This is me)
