Musiq & Musiq Soulchild Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cats been comin' up and askin' how did I
Get to be where I'm at
With my whole style
And got the nerve to ask would I change anything about it
Say it's too lean or too crowded
But see that's just the thing
Cause that's something that I don't worry myself too much about
Since the first day that I start doin' it
Maybe fine tune it just a little but just enough
Cause I don't wanna fuck up and ruin it
I take this thing too seriously
My style is the fuckin' point of me
But see cats just don't get it
Cause niggas just always gotta find a label or some kind of cataloger
Sayin' yo this kid gotta be this
And he gotta be that
And he gotta be whatever
Yo I just gotta be whatever you want and need me to be to
Math your life better
Musiq Soulchild
That's my name
Damn what
That's me

Ever since I can remember
From the earliest memories I have
Cats been comin' up and askin' how did I
People have been approaching me and asking
Get to be where I'm at
How I achieved my current position
With my whole style
Regarding my entire artistic expression
And got the nerve to ask would I change anything about it
Having audacity to inquire if I would alter any aspect
Say it's too lean or too crowded
Commenting that it is either too simplistic or busy
But see that's just the thing
However, here lies the truth
Cause that's something that I don't worry myself too much about
Because that is not a concern of mine
Cause I'm gonna do it the way that I've been doin' it
Because I will continue doing it in my accustomed manner
Since the first day that I start doin' it
Since the initial moment I began pursuing it
Maybe fine tune it just a little but just enough
Perhaps make slight adjustments, but only to an adequate extent
Cause I don't wanna fuck up and ruin it
As I aim to avoid making mistakes that would damage it
I take this thing too seriously
I approach this matter with great gravity and importance
My style is the fuckin' point of me
My artistic expression defines who I am
But see cats just don't get it
However, people fail to comprehend it
Cause niggas just always gotta find a label or some kind of cataloger
Because individuals constantly feel the need to categorize or classify
Sayin' yo this kid gotta be this
Asserting that I must fit into a specific category
And he gotta be that
And conform to certain expectations
And he gotta be whatever
And mold myself into whatever
Yo I just gotta be whatever you want and need me to be to
I simply need to be whoever you desire and require
Math your life better
To align with and complement your life
Musiq Soulchild
The name I go by
That's my name
That identifies me
Damn what
Disregarding any negative opinions or judgments
That's me
That is who I truly am
