I Wanna
Lil j Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They think I don't stand a chance
I'm trying everything I can
But it's so hard to be who I am
I gave my heart away once again

Look don't ask me why cause I don't know
Let's take a ride, come watch my show
Let's catch a vibe, don't let it go
I'll give your life a little hope
But I don't wanna be alone
So I look for somebody's soul
Did I just dig my heart a hole
By fucking with these dirty hoes

Even if I tried I can't seem to find out why
I have wings but they can't fly
I wanna be me till the day that I die

So that's who ima be
If I don't do this right I know they're never gonna see
I'm tryna live my life but that shits harder than you think
Like how am I gon fight the things that I can't even see
Don't even ask me what I mean
Just know my life gets really deep
How would they know what I need
Yet they won't even believe me
I know I will succeed
As long as I always be me
I just wanna be free
My life is a show you always wanna see on TV
I'm right here when you need me
And I ain't ever leaving
I just want them to see me
The same way that I see them
Anyone can be me, anyone can be him
If you don't believe me
Maybe you'll believe when I
Get high and write these rhymes
With all the pain that I find
Probably lived a million times
If you could feel me we'll be fine
This the real me I won't lie
Let me show you how to shine

They think I don't stand a chance
I'm trying everything I can
But it's so hard to be who I am
I gave my heart away once again

Look don't ask me why cause I don't know
Let's take a ride, come watch my show
Let's catch a vibe, don't let it go
I'll give your life a little hope
But I don't wanna be alone
So I look for somebody's soul
Did I just dig my heart a hole
By fucking with these dirty hoes

Even if I tried I can't seem to find out why
I have wings but they can't fly




I wanna be me till the day that I die
So that's who ima be
