Look at me

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
