Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I was you, I'd be dying to be
A reflection of the person that you're seeing in me
Like I was born on the moon
But I'm conceived by the sea
And I won't concede until I'm achieving my dreams
So I'm flyin' home, home, home, home
And if you hear me, I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
[Verse 2]
Look, if I was you, I'd be down a lot
That's why I'd be so angry
Painfully I failed a lot in hopes to family
Insane that we had came to be products of our economy
You just chasing paper but normally paper ran from me
[Verse 3]
I'm hungry, my hunger be the main thing that's driving me
That pain deep inside of me has me reacting violently
And silently I swear that I, I'ma go win till the day that I die
Get it in with a pen and the pad, no lie
We back from the ground with the tan and the white
[Verse 4]
I, I, I said it, I did it
Mom need bread, I'ma get it, harm you to get it
At best when I sin, taste test, hot lead as you give it, damn
I wish I could go back to that man I used to be
[Verse 5]
If I was you, I'd be dying to be
A reflection of the person that you're seeing in me
Like I was born on the moon
But I'm conceived by the sea
And I won't concede until I'm achieving my dreams
So I'm flyin' home, home, home, home
And if you hear me, I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
[Verse 6]
Look, I feel like I'm a Martian
Born on the moon in a crater
Please watch which dudes you starting with partner, I'll see you later
If I was you, I'd copy me
The game is a monopoly
People always profiting off the poor folk in poverty
[Verse 7]
And obviously I did the same
Brought the poor so I can game, diamond and them necklaces
Earrings and all them shiny things
I'm ashamed, can't front on that
Hand to the start with the gun in your back
You ain't that hard, you can hardly act
Ever ran up to a car with a nine or a mac?
[Verse 8]
I did that as an itty bitty baby
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, cock back, spray you
Everything to lose over monetary gain
I get it from my daddy, he crazy
I wish I could go back to that man I used to be
[Verse 9]
If I was you, I'd be dying to be
A reflection of the person that you're seeing in me
Like I was born on the moon
But I'm conceived by the sea
And I won't concede until I'm achieving my dreams
So I'm flyin' home, home, home, home
And if you hear me, I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
[Verse 10]
Now put your hands up, flyin' home
Back to the space I'm from
If you understand that you already know
The same what you came with, the same when you gone
Saying, I'm flyin' home, home, home, home
[Verse 11]
Look, if I stand up, hands in the sky
Thankful to live in your life
Every day that you live on your grind
Illegally living so you can survive
And if you hear me, I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
[Verse 12]
Yeah, I used to hate the man I is
Living a life of sin
Man, been in the game a min'
Man, I won't quit till I win
Man, all I can say is I gave 'em by best
With every gasp of my breath
I'ma go hard till there ain't none left
You think I'ma fail, then you don't know Leq, no
[Verse 13]
If I was you, I'd be dying to be
A reflection of the person that you're seeing in me
Like I was born on the moon
But I'm conceived by the sea
And I won't concede until I'm achieving my dreams
So I'm flyin' home, home, home, home
And if you hear me, I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
