Who Am I
Dr. Dre/Snoop Doggy Dogg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been trying to find myself
Where the fuck are you
I've been looking at myself
Who the fuck is you
I've been on my grind
As you watching from afar
I'm coming up so wait
See all these plans showing
I've been trying to find myself
Where the fuck are you
I've been looking at myself
Who the fuck is you
Bitch wait you'll see all the money I'll be making
I got a new one
Find your own clique
Get off my dick
I've been trying to find myself
Where the fuck are you
I've been looking at myself
Who the fuck is you
I've gotta focus up
Stay in the dream I've been making
Like coal into diamonds
All the pressure to become someone big
Fuck the people keeping me down
I don't need nobody like that in my life
I'm trapped in all these thoughts
Going through a loop
They play back on a fucking track
Making my skull repulse
I've been trying to find myself
Where the fuck are you
I've been looking at myself
Who the fuck is you
I've been on my grind
As you're watching from afar
I'm coming up so wait
See all these plans showing
That Ima be big
I'll get my first gig
And then I'll finally find myself
The person I've been searching for
I'll open the door
Just to see what I've longed for
In order to maintain the flow of my integrity
You'll see the best of me
I'll keep striving to be better than the rest of me
The battle inside, like the civil war




I can't decide who to be
Will someone just help me
