prince johnny c - gotta be me lyrics

[intro]
n0body can be me but me

[chorus]
gotta be me
“the prince johnny c”
n0body can be me but me
“johnny c”
gotta be me
“the prince johnny c”
n0body can be me but me
“johnny c”

[verse 1]
sometimes i wanna act a fool
put a poppy to the head and blow me cool
but i’m trying to make a change [?]
mama’s always tellin’ me what i should be
i wanna be myself, i tried to tell her this
now my bags are in the street, she took it as a diss
and i’m taking a trip deeper into poverty
but i don’t wanna be a doctor, i wanna rhyme, b
my father never talks, man, all hе does is shout
said he brought me into this world, hе’ll take me out
bro radee’s the only one who understands me
and as a friend he took me in, it’s abandoned, although the rent’s free
wanna live my life the way i wanna live
(but c, you oughta do what makes your family happy, man)
nah, i gotta be me
[chorus]
gotta be me
“the prince johnny c”
n0body can be me but me
“johnny c”
gotta be me
“the prince johnny c”
n0body can be me but me
“johnny c”

[verse 2]
now some may not agree with me saying this
my father’s lost in time and mind lost in the mist
[?] that i’m his follower
he’s asking me to be a drunk and bug moms for a dollar
he punched me in the head once, it staggered me
said he never missed a day at school, i’m sick, see
but he don’t give a d+mn about my condition
all he wanna do is front and say “my son’s a physician”
all i wanna practice is my rhyme [?]
but being a doctor of rhythm is nothing but a [?] in my face
disobedient b+st+rd is what he called me
saying moms wasn’t married ’til after he had me
[?] you’re right and they don’t understand jack
i’m going up with the finger, pops, ’cause i gotta be me
[chorus]
gotta be me
“the prince johnny c”
n0body can be me but me
“johnny c”
gotta be me
“the prince johnny c”
n0body can be me but me
“johnny c”

[verse 3]
my little brother’s doing good, he’s in [?]
[?] sometimes we riff but i love him, though
it’s not his fault he’s a bum, that’s what mama say
[?] stay the h+ll away
out on my own i grew stronger [?]
born to be the prince of rhyme [?]
dee is always there, he’s the one i owe
but he said “it’s not about payback, just stay black and be yourself, bro”
and i am the prince johnny c
if i ever [?] then this game’s not for me
so if you want me [?] pow+wow
then my wish is that lucky [?] smile
i don’t need a murder rap, no
i come in peace and [?] don’t step
hit the road and keep trucking for a better deal
[?] appeal
dope line after line, rhymes in order
all i need is the mic [?]
i get a grip, come equipped while others are playing
i and i, strong self+being
[chorus]
gotta be me
“the prince johnny c”
n0body can be me but me
“johnny c”
gotta be me
“the prince johnny c”
n0body can be me but me
“johnny c”

gotta be me
“the prince johnny c”
n0body can be me but me
“johnny c”
gotta be me
“the prince johnny c”
n0body can be me but me
