Something I’m Not lyrics
by Rae Sremmurd
[Chorus: Swae Lee]
How can I be somethin' I’m not? (Yeah, yeah)
I guess a broken soul (No), don't make a happy home (Hey)
[Verse 1: Swae Lee]
If they cross me, then they dead to me, and they ain't even deceased
Runnin’ through these streets and I can't even find no kind of peace
Stripes all on the whip and I ain't even signed no kind of lease
Headed to the top, I need a harness, 'cause the climb's steep
Uh, G6 take you 'round the world, and you can makе some condo
Never lookеd at n*ggas with no envy, thinkin' that should be us
Yeah, you can never text again or you can make a fuss
I'll just have more money, if I’m lonely with a million bucks (Bucks)
Everythin’ unfoldin', like a chapter in a children’s book
From the window out a plane, I can tell the city crooked (Crooked)
I can see you in the spotlight, how you're f*ckin' it up (Up)
Couple pretty b*tches I keep with me that I never touched (Touched)
[Chorus: Swae Lee]
How can I be somethin' I’m not?
I know a broken soul, don't make a happy home
[Verse 2: Slim Jxmmi]
Questionin' myself, like, how can I be somethin' I'm not?
I grew from the mud, like a plant in a pot
I pop like a jack-in-the-box, my stock went straight to the top
Got big rocks that make the temperature drop, yellin', "R.I.P. my pops"
Wishin' I could press rewind and get lil' Michael out that box
And it's f*ckin' with my mind, but the grind don't ever stop
Got me prayin' for sunshine, oh, yeah
And I'm focused, so it's money everywhere
My whole night was based around paper-chasin'
I'm goin' out to Cali' and it's like a vacation
f*ck a red light, I'm in the Hellcat, racin'
I know them blessings comin', but it's hard to stay patient
[Chorus: Swae Lee]
How can I be somethin' I'm not?
I know a broken soul, don't make a happy home
How can I be somethin' I'm not?
[Verse 3: Swae Lee]
Gold T.A.'s, let me take you somewhere more appropriate (Appropriate)
Purple haze, maybe we've been rollin' it and smokin' (Chokin')
Brighter days, I remember dreamin' 'bout this sh*t, yeah ('Bout this sh*t)
Tidal waves, I was on one when I wrote this sh*t (Wrote this sh*t)
Got the Drac', I'm tryna get me a billion, just like Dr. Dre
Not today, n*ggas tryna stop me, got 'em out my way
Keepin' it real, free of charge, but they had to pay
Uh, keepin' it G is free of charge, but they had to pay
Dirty sneaks, just from runnin' errands, had to throw 'em away
When I lay her down at night, I pray to God my soul to take
Thirty-piece, tryna put it up, it's time to up the stakes
Twenty pounds of money on me, I'm startin' to think I'm overweight
My whole day was based around paper-chasin'
Send the duffel on the plane and disappear, like bae-cation
[Outro]
Broken soul don't make a happy home
How can I be somethin' I'm not? Oh no (Broken soul)
How can I be someone who lied to you? Yeah
