II Kings - Who I Am [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook: Ashleigh Munn]
This life, is my story
Got to tell them, don't ignore me
I've drove these roads, and walked the streets
A thousand times
And as the days go by
I always try
To be who I am..
To be who I am..
To be who I am..

[Verse 1: Elusive]
And that's never gonna change
I will say what I want, even if you think it's strange
I'mma stay true, and you should do the same
Cause I am only tryna show you how to rearrange
Your priorities - I'm talking to a fan
Cause I never wanna see you turn into a Stan
Like if I can't touch lives, then my music can
Cause I'm just trying to be who I am..
And I hope that you can see through
All the other lies, the way that we do
Don't be afraid to share your point of view, just be true
To who you are, even if they don't believe you
Cause we're all unique - irreplaceable
We're not defined by our looks or our grades in school
To me, what matters most is who I am..
.. But you just don't seem to understand, that..

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Elusive]
This is the real me - no inhibition
I'm telling you the truth, so I hope you listen
Cause if I walked away today, and never looked back..
.. It would only be you I'm missing
But let's hope it never comes to that
Cause this is my life - not a fucking act
Like if you didn't want the real shit..
.. Then you should go put on another track
Cause this story's not over yet
It's why I live my life with no regret
So slick, you could call me Greece..
.. But it's not cause I am so in debt
It's cause I think I am about to crash
I've seen time pass, and my life flash
Before my eyes, so here I stand..
.. Cause I'm still finding out who I am..

[Hook]

[Bridge: DMB (w/ Ashleigh Munn)]
I fight, for the glory
Nobody, can do this for me
I stand alone, there's no relief
Inside my mind
So I just chase the light
You don't know what it's like
To be who I am..
(To be who I am..)
To be who I am..
(To be who I am..)

[Verse 3: DMB]
Third verse, time to hit them where it hurts
I've laid down my weapons, all I need to use is words
And the rhythm to inspire your ambition
To improve the condition of this world that we live in
So don't ask why, when the sky begins to blacken
And you'll find me in the garden of Eden while I'm eagerly rapping
Cause all I needed was a place to speak my mind
Forgive my sins so I can break free from these binds
Help me continue this journey without being so sinful
You have it in you but action is just never that simple
Strengthen my sinew to climb this mountain that I've run into
As I begin to follow the direction that the wind blew
Uh, you'll see me walk, right across the land
I'm not lost - I'm just searching for who I am
Because looking back in hindsight
This ain't just a story, this is my life..

[Hook]
