Believe In Me
Marcella feat. I-Fan Lyrics

When I was 14
At the age of 14, during my adolescence

My parents would ignore me
My parents would neglect me and pay me little attention

And I knew being A Con would make me even lonely
I was aware that being incarcerated would intensify my loneliness

So I want to be like Em
I aspired to be like Eminem, a successful rapper

I want to be 50
I desired to be like 50 Cent, a successful rapper

I want to be Dre
I wished to be like Dr. Dre, a famous record producer

Crack a bottle for my city
Celebrate my city with a drink

So imma turn it up
Therefore, I will amplify my efforts

Cuz my parents always fighting
Because my parents frequently argue

Their words that got me writing
Their words were my inspiration to start writing

Of Course hip-hop revive me
Hip-hop music revived my spirit

Before my soul deprived me
Before my spirit was depleted

(Deprived me)
This is a repetition of the previous line to emphasize the impact of hip-hop on my life

The sport that had me mapping
Hip-hop was the activity that guided me

The source of myself rapping so
Hip-hop was the origin of my rapping talent

All I want
My sole desire is

Is for you (Is for you)
For you to believe in me

To Believe in me
To have faith in my abilities

Believe in me
This is a repetition of the previous line to reinforce the message

And imma be who I wanna be
And I will become the person I want to be

No matter the cost imma boss yes constantly
I will persist as a boss despite the challenges I face

I be tripping out on the doubt yes family
My family's doubt triggers my anxiety

And I be turning down all of their sound like engineers
I reject their input like an engineer adjusting sound levels

Maybe I should forfeit
Perhaps, I should give up

All my dreams and endorsements
All of my aspirations and deals

But those people are informant
However, those individuals are unreliable sources of advice

To those that don't even notice
They cater to those who don't even acknowledge my potential

There image is what they focus
They concentrate on their image

Got rhythm but no poet
I have rhythm, but I'm not yet a proficient poet

I'm hov and ye rapping Otis
I rap like Jay-Z and Kanye West's song Otis

50 Game type spitter
I rap like 50 Cent, a skilled rapper

Babe Ruth type hitter
I am a great hitter like Babe Ruth, a legendary baseball player

No Gram type filters
I don't use Instagram filters in my life or my music

So I say (So I say)
This is a repetition of the previous line to emphasize my message

You can't tell me to quit when your a quitter
You're a quitter, so you have no right to tell me to give up

Go and Post that on Twitter
Spread this message on Twitter

All I need
What I require is

(All I need)
This repetition of the previous line underscores the significance of my need

Is for me (Is for me)
For me to believe in myself

To Believe in me
To have faith in my abilities

Believe in me
This is a repetition of the previous line to reinforce the message
