Know it's my time and I can't afford to be late I gotta shine I gotta go down as a great I wanna be somebody I wanna be somebody I need recognition for the realness I embody Do you need credit for All the souls you've touched and you put on Do you need credit for All the wrongs I write all by my lone Do you need credit Took my pain and put it in this song Earned my stripes now that I've grown Show me love before I'm gone Did you jump into the fray? Showed your true colors or metal Did you ever show your hand when the playing field was leveled Was you up against the odds cuz you had a score to settle Did you try to keep the peace cuz you grew up as a rebel I had fear Fear these mountains never clear Fear that pebble in my shoe Fear that just might keep me here Fear that I might lose it all Fear they want my culture gone They'll take my life if I ever try to put em on I can't be your credit line I can't be what you designed I can be what's real I can't be that one who you defined I can't beat the hands the hands of time All you got is your marathon Before you cross that finish line Know it's my time and I can't afford to be late I gotta shine I gotta go down as a great I wanna be somebody I wanna be somebody I need recognition for the realness I embody Do you need credit for All the souls you've touched and you put on Do you need credit for All the wrongs I write all by my lone Do you need credit Took my pain and put it in this song Earned my stripes now that I've grown Show me love before I'm gone I get credit for my pain I get credit for the way I've been abandoned time and time again I thought that times would change Hope I'm treated like a human being be that as may Thought my presence where I'm from could've marked that as my grave I need answers I need answers Said I might have cancer Said it'd hit my hands first Said I'd no voice contemplated what I am worth The shit that I been through I live your life then I'd be pampered My uncle catching seizures damn near every single week Night and day was at the hospital now all I hear are screams Lived my life like that sentence paid a lot I'm never free Fought my alcoholism the only thing that gave me peace Know it's my time and I can't afford to be late I gotta shine I gotta go down as a great I wanna be somebody I wanna be somebody I need recognition for the realness I embody Do you need credit for All the souls you've touched and you put on Do you need credit for All the wrongs I write all by my lone Do you need credit Took my pain and put it in this song Earned my stripes now that I've grown Show me love before I'm gone I am excellent No no I am excellence Funny ain't it ironic Had no voice but now it's evident I'm seen as iconic Contributions made evidence Try to get your pardon still I'm setting that precedence I often hit that mirror I wanna be more of you Courage strength the wisdom you always hand me the juice You're always keeping me grounded almost hopped out of roofs You the reason I'm saved bishops ain't get our cue Our story they never saw I often stood up in awe The good bad and the ugly we carry and all our flaws The violence scars our silence we made it who would've thought I hope you know that I love you give credit for who you are TDT The Deove Tapes That Damn Television The Demons Talking
