I am Jameel

I'd like to welcome you, ladies and gentlemen May hear some of my views, agree with sentiment Some may skip to the next song and that is okay Hear the sound of my voice and say no way But if you made it to this bar then I appreciate you Hundreds of words in my head that I abbreviate to Shorten so you can digest and rest, so turn the volume up And journey with me through this song because we are all commune of This thing that we call life, but I'm not gonna let it consume me And drain me of the life I got, but I'll sound like a broken record Everybody got a sad story, but I'ma share mine for those that can relate Not to get the glory, grew up introverted, not like a sports or following trends Throwing awkwardness, equals why I didn't have friends Failed multiple grades and sometimes was known to make a scene Then lost my mom to cancer at the age of 17 This is my story I'm putting the stamp On your ear so you can know who I am This is my story I'm putting the stamp On your ear so you can know who I am I am Jameel, I am Jameel, I am Jameel I, I am Jameel, I am Jameel, I am Jameel My name is Jameel Know what it's like to carry misery that isn't mine Or watching everybody else win while you're catching up in life When it comes to being behind everyone, I'm a cognoscenti Give so much of myself away, end of the day I'm feeling empty So if you're listening dealing with loneliness within And secretly envying others, you're not alone I can feel it, feeling so alone But can't say that you feel alone Because then you get attacked by people saying you're not alone I'm on this microphone spittin these rhymes to you so You can hear my heart, some can related, it will show When it tugs in your heart, and I want the light to glow In the darkness of your life, surprise the dark, make them say whoa Yeah, this is my hobby, but obviously it'll be preposterous To not try to encourage someone else I'm not in this for the cloud or the cloud nine from the streams That one might just get if you're feeling down Hope it's on the horizon like a sunset This is my story, I'm putting the stamp On your ear so you can know who I am This is my story, I'm putting the stamp On your ear so you can know who I am I am Jameel I am Jameel I am Jameel I, I am Jameel I am Jameel I am Jameel My name is Jameel Jameel
