How am I supposed to face Everything about me that I would erase if I knew it would make me a better man? And would I still be me? I say I want to change the world But there's a lot about me that I need to change first A lot of contradictions I don't understand Example, if I Say I want representation for my people under one nation Then why do I see such a threat when I see my own represent? Thought that I would be our hero Brown boy from Queens, came from zero Said I want my people to succeed Don't want to think that I really meant just me Internalized racism, tryna run a race with it Tryna tell myself that the world got plenty space for us Yeah tomorrow, it was made for us Competition only holding us down I know I'm not the only one I could feel the haters on me But shouldn't I be the change for us? If I'm living by this diamond that I wear on my chest Fighting for what it represents How could I now hope to lead If I don't practice what I preach? Jealous thoughts I won't say out loud I just don't show love, I'm not proud And I know that it doesn't help So time and time, I ask myself Am I in this for the right reasons? Am I in this for… Am I in this for the right reasons? Am I in this for… Am I in this for the right reasons? Am I in this for… Am I in this for the right reasons? Am I in this for… How am I supposed to know If everything I ever claimed that I stood for was for show? Would I still try to be a good person If it wasn't part of my brand? Intention is bent, deep down I'm self-serving again Do I sing to spread a message? Or is therapy just too expensive? I was never the cool kid in school Couldn't talk to girls, such a fool I was just the weird kid into metal But they came around when my band took off a little I got laid in different states, got lost a little Couldn't be a real man without the women Do I sing all my high notes to heal my soul? Or just 'cause the ladies like it? I'm losing myself just to try and be relevant I wish I could make music just like a kid again Like a kid again, but my parents are growing old And I want to make them proud, Maybe if I buy them a house with the songs I sing I'll convince myself that all my blood, sweat, and tears is enough Right now it feels like my life peaked at just 21 That's all I'll ever become In a world where artistry is measured by pain God forbid I don't wake up and suffer today So I don't have to ask myself Am I in this for the right reasons? Am I in this for… Am I in this for the right reasons? Am I in this for… Am I in this for the right reasons? Am I in this for… Am I in this for the right reasons? Am I in this for…
