royalé michael - who am i lyrics

[spoken word]

my fate is refusing to be overlooked by lost tapes
i’m sorry for the wait, the f stands for finished
done being humble when i deserve the attention
i’m on a rise to get what’s mine
today is the day that my words will never die
listen close…
this lil n-gg- from 7 mile, detroit, keeping his oath
i’m all about growth, like cozz
face to face i told bas
that i’mma be here to stay
that’s why i’m not afraid to drop the same day as nas
shhhhhhh, he’s coming
don’t make a sound
tell me
what’s a future to a king without his…

[intro]

(yeah)
(aye, look, aye)

come and find me and you will see (aye)
that this everything that’s meant for me (aye)
this is everything that’s meant for me (yeah)
this is everything that’s meant for me (aye)
but life ain’t really what it seems (no)
life ain’t really what it seems
i’ll rather go after something than steady dream
i’ll rather go after something than steady dream
what does it mean?
where do i start?
the world fallin’ apart, i’m using art
the world fallin’ apart, i’m using art
the world fallin’ apart, so leave a mark

[verse 1]

listen
my future in the hands of myself
but lately, i ain’t really feeling myself
all of my friends going to college and tryna earn wealth
while i’m sitting on my -ss, dreaming bout what i felt
nothing at all
the black hole creeping in fall
my heart is feeling like a hundred nails stuck in a wall
i ball, so i don’t think how i lost it all
but my life is really showing me i’m nothing at all
it’s like i
man i open my eyes for no reason
came home to n-gg-s hooping, n-gg-s dreaming
don’t n-body f-ck with my city, feelin’ like treason
and every day i’m looking for change to change seasons
d-mn
life really wanna keep me full of anger
i’m just tryna rob the devil in a world full of takers
cutting gr-ss for some cash just to feel like i done made it
but inside, in reality
i’m always left saying

[hook]

who am i?
(aye, look)
aye, who am i?
(look, aye)
though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death
i still shine (yeah)
i still shine (yeah)
i realize
that every dream starts somewhere
i still cry
cause i don’t know if i’m near
so who am i?
aye, look, who am i?

[bridge: j. donahey]

the sun is always shining
but inside, i’m always crying
in the darkness where you’ll find me
find me
oh find me
won’t you please be right beside me
before i lose the light around me
i feel alive but yet i’m dying
dying oh dying
gotta find a way…
gotta find a way…
gotta find a way…
gotta find a way…

[verse 2]

people say when you at your lowest then you reach your highest
i’m at the point where i can’t even tell living from dying
it doesn’t help that somebody stole my wallet, the timing
i walked to the river and almost gave up trying
it was either drown myself or live with crying out for help
i begged the lord please aye just show me what’s next
tired of not doing nothing
tired of second guess
couple months later, my life changed by who i met
it was like
god put me on this yellow brick road
to this open mic, which was filled with lyrical gold
poets of all styles, nice, mad, young and old
all spitting their stories to this universal code
i’m saying to myself
i am nothing like this
why i’m even hear?
god, why you show me this?
i am nothing like these rappers
cause i know they got a gift
turns out, i was watching myself in all these other kids
so poetry society you really saved my life
i ended up writing every morning to every night
and ended up meeting some people that was called tribe
they showed me how to live
but before, i was like
who am i?
but before i was like, who am i?
who am i?

[hook]

[bridge: myna]

[outro: royalé michael & myna]

heart beating full of joy while escaping these tears
it’s beauty in fear
cause you never really know
and then you always study the unknown
which gives you opportunity to grow
heart beating full of joy while escaping these tears
am i really near
or am i miles away?
am i miles away?
am i miles away?
am i miles away?
am i miles away?

[spoken word]

what’s the future to a king without his crown?
eyes wide with realization to erase pride
to not question the obstacles that lie ahead
but to withstand the human nature of knowing
that there is always a beginning to an end
what’s the future to a king without his crown?
i hide behind my smile when deep down
inside my body, i shiver at the thought of becoming a somebody
success around the corner
while my footsteps continue to stay stagnant
take action and grab it
the mind of a warrior fighting a battle with him
as his greatest weapon
what’s the future to a king without his crown?
knowing that you’re always looked at as the suspect in the world
while your back is against no wall to stop your fall
crash landing inside of a pit that has been calling your name
ever since you began to exist
you were made for this
not the actual fall
but you were made for the moment when you get to decide
if you want it all
what’s a future to a king without his crown?
dreams shattering every day as i wake
preparing to face a duty that i hate
i haven’t dreamt in ages
and i feel my skin peeling as i disintegrate into dust
i’m only 21
but i feel as though i’ve lived as long as the sun
and that things will never change but only evolve
who am i?
a hider, a seeker
with the ability to find my own way
but would rather stick with what’s safe
i’m not scared, i’m only human
that loves the feeling of a new transition
only until i realize i’m not used to it
only thing that can save me is the music

so what’s my future to a king without his crown?…
