Who Am I
K-Rino Lyrics

Yeah, nobody's perfect uh
Everyone has flaws and imperfections, including myself.

Who am I
I am questioning my own identity and purpose in life.

Ain't no commrottery, envy and jealousy dividing me
I don't have any strong bonds or friendships due to envy and jealousy causing division.

And rose the killer exposed, the afterworld side of me
The more dangerous and destructive aspects of my personality have been revealed.

Those I probably, confided and lied inside of me
I have lied to and misled those who I have trusted and confided in.

For years, constantly evaluated me improperly
People have consistently judged and evaluated me unfairly for years.

I teach game, like people taught it to me
I pass on my knowledge and experience, just as others have done for me.

My personality might not be, what you thought it could be
People may have preconceived notions and expectations of my personality which may or may not be accurate.

See it's easy to walk with me, when it's sunny and warm
It's easy to be around me when times are good and there are no problems.

But how many people gon stay down, through the cold and the storm
Not everyone will stick around when things get tough and the going gets rough.

Am I perfect, I'll be the first to tell you I ain't
I am aware of my imperfections and shortcomings, I am not perfect.

Just because I try to kick knowledge, don't make me a saint
Imparting knowledge and wisdom does not make me or anyone else infallible or perfect.

Now who am I, I'm not the man you think you know
I am not necessarily the person that others know or perceive me to be.

I'm trying to get up out the quicksand, 'fore I sink too low
I am struggling and trying to avoid sinking lower into difficult circumstances and problems.

I'm educated by the streets man, I done took my class
I have learned from difficult life experiences and the hardships I have faced in my community.

Trying to maintain, but the rap game done whooped my ass
The challenges and struggles of the rap industry have taken a toll on me.

The only part of me you know, is what I show you
People only see and know the parts of me that I reveal and choose to show.

But internally family and friends, can't even fathom what I go through
Even those closest to me may not fully comprehend or understand the internal struggles and challenges I face.

Only a man just like you
I am just a human being, no different from anyone else.

I wrestle with myself, to figure out what I must do
I struggle internally to determine the right course of action and decisions.

Fuck knocking on a do', I'm trying to bust right through
I am determined to succeed and make progress, by any means necessary.

So don't put me on no pedestal, I'm just like you
I should not be viewed as being better or superior to anyone else.

I'm still struggling, ain't no telling what I just might do
I am still facing difficulties and there is no way to predict how I might respond or react.

They say it helps to open up, it makes the soul feel good
Sharing personal issues and concerns with others can often be therapeutic and beneficial.

Soon as you do it, people spread your bidness all through the hood
However, once personal information is shared, it can easily spread and become widely known.

Living without love made hatred, the main thang that I thought of
The absence of love in my life has led to a focus on negative and hateful thoughts and emotions.

And I done did a lot of things in the past, that I ain't proud of
I have made mistakes and done things in the past that I am not proud of.

I don't give women the respect, they deserve
I have not always treated women with the respect and dignity that they deserve.

I never hit one with my hands, but I've abused em with words
Although I have not been physically abusive towards women, I have used hurtful language and words.

Many days I would, write lyrics to raise my hood
I write lyrics to represent and uplift my community.

But I'm certain that my bad side, outweighs my good
I acknowledge that my negative qualities and actions may outweigh my positive ones.

I'm getting tired of people telling me, that my time gon come
I am frustrated with hearing that my success and opportunities are always just around the corner.

Maybe I suffer, cause of temptation I never resisted
Perhaps my struggles and hardships are a result of giving into temptations and not making better choices.

Maybe my time already came, and I ain't know it and missed it
It is possible that I have already had opportunities for success and improvement, but was not aware of them and missed out.

It ain't wise to share your dreams, with everybody know why
It is not always a good idea to share your aspirations and goals with everyone, as some may wish ill upon you.

Cause even close friends, will wish negative thoughts in the sky
Even those who are closest to you may secretly have negative and harmful thoughts towards you.

And when I see a arrogant hoe, I squeeze his lid
I react strongly and defensively to those who display arrogance and disrespect.

I run with the thugs and the sinners, like Jesus did
I associate with those who may be viewed as societal outcasts, just as Jesus did.

God gives heaven to me, and other than he there never will be
I believe that it is God who grants me access to heaven, and there is no other being who can do so.

One who can definitely say he knows who I am, better than me
Only God can truly know and understand the full extent of who I am.

Two things take place, when struggling starts
Struggle and hardship can either bring people closer together, or drive them further apart.

If I leave nothing behind, after the graveyard got me
If I do not create any meaningful legacy or impact, once I am gone I will be forgotten.

Y'all gon mourn two or three weeks, then forget all about me
After a brief period of mourning, people will likely move on and forget about me.

You out of sight you out of mind, once your heartbeat quit
Once someone has passed away, they are often quickly forgotten and their impact fades away.

And you can never be remembered, if you ain't did shit
In order to be remembered and leave a lasting impact, one must do something meaningful and worthwhile with their life.

Give you my last if I got it, ain't no greed in my bones
I am willing to be generous and give all that I have, without any greed or selfishness influencing me.

Last of my bloodline, I never had a seed of my own
I am the last remaining member of my family and have not had any children of my own.

I feel depression, cause it wasn't my intention to see
I suffer from depression because my life has not gone according to the plans and intentions that I had.

The next generation be born, with no extension of me
I feel a sense of loss and regret that there will be no future generations of my family carrying on my legacy.

But hopefully, I can keep living on this earth through
I hope to continue living on through others, such as my children or the impact I leave on the world.

The parts of my life that I write down, and give birth to
I hope that my written work and life story will live on and have a positive impact on others.

I ain't fraud but see, being right is hard to be
I am not trying to deceive anyone, but it can be difficult to always make the right choices and decisions.

Excuse my evil side, just focus on the God in me
I acknowledge that there is a negative and harmful side to me, but I urge others to focus on my good and positive qualities which come from my faith in God.

I chase money, ain't no telling what I just might be
I am driven by the pursuit of wealth and financial success, which may lead me down unpredictable paths.

I get aggravated commit sins, and lust like you
I am not perfect and have moments of anger, sin, and desire similar to anyone else.

Yeah homie, I'm working on myself
I am actively trying to improve and become a better person.

Just like you working on yourself man, you know
I recognize that others are also going through their own struggles and trying to improve themselves.

We gotta minister to eachother man, and try to pull eachother up
We all need to support and uplift each other and help each other through difficult times.

So uh when you see me, don't look at me as being no better than you are man
I should not be viewed as being superior or better than anyone else.

Cause it might be something that you can give me, that I don't have
I am open to learning from and being helped by others who may have something to offer that I do not.

So remember I'm just like you, yeah feel that
I am just a human being, no different or better than anyone else, and I hope that people can relate and empathize with me.
