Lyrics of The Way That I Am by Joyner Lucas
[Intro]
Joyner Lucas, World Powerful Artist
What Is It About Him That You Like?
He Was Saying A Lot Of Lines That I Saw Some Of Me In That
But At The Same Time,
It Was Different Because
It Was Like Heโs No Compromising Bars To Tell His Story
He Still Got Complexity In There
Like Heโs Taking You On His Journey
And I Never Snapped Out Of That Journey โtil It Was Over
And I Was Like, โYo, This Kid Is Fu*kinโ Incredibleโ
[Verse 1]
Straight Out The Mud, The Kitchen Is Dirty, Just Hit Up The Blunt
Then Cop Me A 30, Iโm Not Who I Was
The Vision Was Blurry, Iโm Seeinโ Shit Clear, That B!tch Is Murky
When I Was A Kid I Thought I Was Worthy Of Feelinโ Some Love
But Love Ainโt Deserve Me, I Wish I Knew Then That Lovinโ That Hurt Me
Iโd Sever That Bridge Before It Can Burn Me
My Mama Was Hard, My Daddy Concerned
Was Beatinโ My Ass, He Showed Me No Mercy
Thought He Was Joe, The Whippers Was Dirty
He Tried To Make Music, The Shit Wasnโt Workinโ
He Taught Me To Rap, Was Practicinโ Early
I Wanted A Dad, But He Never Earned Me
His Traded His Sons For Power Of Attorney
I Traded His Love For Diamonds And Pressure
Iโm Not Who You Knew, Donโt Act Like You Know Me
A Lot Of Shit Change, Iโm Not Like The Old Me
The Money And Fame Will Never Control Me
But I Went Through Things I Wish You Done Told Me
I Still Need The Change From Niggas Who Owe Me
I Wonโt Take The Blame For Callinโ You Broski
Thatโs Really Your Name, You Used To Be Brodie
But Now You A Lame, You Niggas Can Blow Me
A Whole Lot Of Money, A Whole Lot Of Fakes
Red Dots On Your Body, I Know How To Trace
I Donโt Need Stunt โcause I Know How To Shake It
If I Wanna Stunt, I Just Pull Out The Safe
Whole Lot Of Cake, And I Know How Bake
Parkinโ Lot Pimpinโ, I Feel Like The Wraith
I Bury You Niggas You Pull Out The Wraith
You Showinโ Your Card, But You Still Not A Ace
[Chorus]
Some Niggas Tell Me I Remind โem Of Em
The Mm Lp Album Had Me On Ten
The Shit I Was Goinโ Through Made Me A Stan
A Lot Of That Pain I Was Still Holdinโ In
Niggas Who Hate Him The Same Ones Who Hate Me
Then Smile In My Face And Be Shakinโ My Hand
Crazy How Even Back Then,
Always Knew That One Day Iโd Relate To The Way That I Am
(Ayy, Ayy)
Thatโs The Way That I Am
(Joyner, Joyner, Joyner)
Itโs The Way That I Am
(Uh, Uh, Uh)
Itโs The Way That I Am
Crazy How Even Back Then,
Always Knew That One Day Iโd Relate To The Way That I Am
(Ayy, Ayy)
[Verse 2]
Takinโ A Chance, Iโm Shakinโ The Dice
She Used To Be A Ho, You Made Her Your Wife
Donโt Matter If I Lose, I Came Here To Fight
I Feel Like Two Wrongs Gonโ Make Me Alright
Iโm Talkinโ My Shit, Ainโt Sayinโ It Nice
Iโm Save These Drugs, Iโm Raisinโ The Price
Your Energyโs Trash, You Say That Itโs Life
My Angels Are Black And Satan Is White
I Sprinkle Some Glass And Made You Some Rice
My Chopper Gonโ Blast, Iโm Aiminโ It Snipe
I Ainโt On The โgram And Came Here For Likes
You Stay On The โgram And You Came Here To Type
Patrollinโ The Comments, You Lookinโ For Spam
You Really A Fan, Go Take You A Hike
Climb Up The Mountain And Jump Off The Top
Your Body Gonโ Pop, No Savinโ Your Life
You Lookinโ At Me, I See Hate In Your Eyes
Itโs Obvious You Want A Fake Out The Side
Your Whole Life Is Made Up, I Ainโt Too Surprised
The Industry Phoney, It Made Up Of Lies
They Keepinโ Me Out, But Iโm Breakinโ Inside
Iโm Snatchinโ The Crown And Iโm Takinโ Whatโs Mine
These Industry B!tches Wonโt Rate Me With Pride
I Put โem Together And Make A Collage
[Chorus]
Niggas Tell Me I Remind โem Of Em
The Mm Lp Album Had Me On Ten
The Shit I Was Goinโ Through Made Me A Stan
A Lot Of That Pain I Was Still Holdinโ In
Niggas Who Hate Him The Same Ones Who Hate Me
Then Smile In My Face And Be Shakinโ My Hand
Crazy How Even Back Then,
Always Knew That One Day Iโd Relate To The Way That I Am
(Ayy, Ayy)
Thatโs The Way That I Am
(Joyner, Joyner, Joyner)
Itโs The Way That I Am
(Uh, Uh, Uh)
Itโs The Way That I Am
Crazy How Even Back Then,
Always Knew That One Day Iโd Relate To The Way That I Am
