I AM - Alex Harris

Might tear the ceilin' down, so hold it up

Might tear the ceilin' down, so hold it up

It might tear down everything that I am

Yeah, I feel it comin', oh mama, I feel it comin'

I’m drownin', what time they callin' my stomach?

I might evaporate

The lack of confidence I hate, I didn’t graduate

The late registration for college, who thought I’d levitate?

I know they been waitin' for fall backs

No shows, 360 deals, no call backs

Hell of a lifestyle, the Visine burnin' my lights out

People I was friends with only wantin' to fight now

I could never touch it when it’s bringin' the price down

They 'bout to tear the ceilin' off, feelin' so crazy

Life in a continuum, minimal wages

Hope they really feelin' ya

Thinkin' that they helpin' tear the ceilin' down

They cannot stop my shine

They said I will not grow

They will know in due time, do anything, yeah

Everything I am, yeah

Is everything that I am, ayy

Motherfucker, I am, uh

Run the beat back twice, make it sound nice

Feel like I’m stuck in a daydream

I was too cool and stepped away from the AC

Don’t be surprised if they just show up and take things

So tired of hearin', «Think about it,» to, «Maybe's»

I overdraft, they hit my ass with a late fee

I wonder why my baby hates me

Eight days, no pussy, no plead

Don’t fall in love 'cause it’s the hardest you fall

Feel like I never shoulda loved you at all

It might tear the ceilin' down

They cannot stop my shine

They said I will not grow

They will know in due time, do anything, yeah

Everything I am, yeah

Is everything that I am, ayy

Motherfucker, I am, uh

Yeah, we used to cram in minivans, I think the window is cracked

A bag of smoke to stay afloat could bring my memories back

And steppin' away from me

My lungs are black, I’m sorry, Jack, there ain’t no savin' me

I’ll call you back when I react to all my latest schemes

Feelin' a way all the time, I know

I’m a great, I’m a fake, all it takes, I know, yeah

They sell you anything, I call it «penny dreams»

Say they showin' love when they don’t

It might tear the ceilin' down

They cannot stop my shine

They said I will not grow

They will know in due time, do anything, yeah

Everything I am, yeah

Is everything that I am, ayy

Motherfucker, I am, uh

Motherfucker, I am, uh

They cannot stop my shine

They said I will not grow

They will know in due time, do anything, yeah

Everything I am, yeah

Is everything that I am, ayy

Motherfucker, I am, uh
