Look at me 
May you see what you see
Either way imma be who I be 
I'm not gonna seek 
A different identity 
Cause conformity 
Just isn't me 
But as you read
You'll see I bleed, me 
So read into it 
Cause I put my all into it 
So don't judge a book by its cover 
Until you've read all through it
So you say you real 
Prove it 
Actions are louder than words
But words tend to hurt or heal
So I try to practice what I preach 
I try to follow before I teach
So look at me 
Look at me 
I'm just a product of my environment 
My surroundings may be dark
But my soul stays vibrant
Through this writing I become fluent 
Because without my writings I feel translucent 
To tell you truth I couldn't give a ****
So save your two cents
So look at me 
Conquer this insanity 
Tupac would be proud 
Of the man in me
So I don't know if you can keep up
Imma feed my dreams 
Till I blow up 
It's either show up or
Get shown up
I won't shatter 
As I gather 
And dunk on my opponent 
Cause my mind is like the lane
I own it 
May it never be chained down by anything or anyone
I just want you to look at me for who I am and the good I've 
Done .... Look at me
Tired using some Double entendres in this one
