Sometimes I try to figure out
|
Just why
|
Why you are the way you are
|
You ... You make it so hard for me to love you
|
|
Hold up now
|
Listen ... I ain't gonna try to sit here and say I'm perfect
|
You know
|
I mean ... I'm tryin' to do the best I can
|
with my time here on earth
|
You know ... You know my mother
|
Mama always say that I'd be somebody
|
You know
|
So you know, I figured that I might as well be great
|
You know
|
I mean, it's hard to understand how I am
|
Some shit you just don't really need to be
|
mother fuckin' understanding though
|
I mean God put me here for a reason
|
And I'm here to let these mother fuckers know
|
|
I've come to claim my place
|
|
I've come to claim my place
|
|
I'll show you the way
|
|
A lot of people don't understand
|
They'll understand one day though
|
|
I just like to make people feel good
|
I really feel I can do anything
|
I really truly believe in God that way
|
So much that I believe in myself
|
I guess I'm kinda like my father
|
You know, Who had a relentless spirit
|
You know
|
He would stop at nothing to achieve his goal
|
You now nowadays
|
A lot of these mother fuckers don't understand that
|
They gonna have to handle it
|
Yeah, you feel me
|
|
I've come to claim my place
|
And I ain't gonna stop
|
I ain't gonna never stop
|
I thank y'all for ridin' with me
|
Thank y'all for rockin' with me
|
through this journey
|
It's just begun
|
And I wanna take the time to say
|
Thank you
|
|
Listen to everything he says
|
I've come to claim my place
|
|
I truly appreciate you
|
And I love ya
|
Ain't nothin' else to say
|
