Lyrics to Self Discovery

[Intro]

He was a smart kid, it's always about Lecrae 'cause he went big

We knew he had somethin' in on 'em, never expected this though



[Verse 1]

And grandma said we came from Jamaica

'Cross the ocean, 'til we made it

Had my DNA tested said the Westside of the motherland

Is where they take us from

Never met my daddy's side so I couldn't tell y'all if I'm Zulu or Xhosa

Couldn't tell y'all how I be courtside

I made it this far without a co-sign

Of course, I struggled a lot and stayed prayed, prayin'

Unforgettable, Swae Lee, Swae Lee, demons Achilles, KD, KD

Now I'm up, is it real life?

And when it get real I can feel Christ

Healed this branch on a family tree that was here for me

Man, the roots so deep



[Break]

Self-discovery

Self discover me

Help uncover me

Help me to understand who I'm supposed to be

Not just a wannabe



[Sample]

It's dangerous over here, this is a dangerous area

Get outta my face fool!



[Chorus]

Seen big pain, big loss, but still been big blessed

All that cap big, big, big, big, big, big, big stress

All you want big house, big car, big ice, big checks

Man, I wish y'all did, did, did, did, did that less



[Break: Trip Lee]

You ain't gonna be nothin', your daddy wasn't, you ain't gonna be

I knew that he always had, uh, something in him



[Verse 2]

My little cousin was hittin' me up, man, I changed all my numbers I never knew

Crazy how digits were causing division, can't nobody get it, the revenue

Seven numbers on a smartphone

Evil cash have their lights on

I get royalties, but I got loyalties, so send a bill, I'll go half on it

Half blank, half unknown

Aren't we Cheoroke to Seminole

I got PTSD runnin' through me from my kinfolk

Stress had me going AWOL

Sin got me actin' Adolf

I'm like "Hey dawg, I need days off, I'm depressed, having brain fall"

It's obvious, I'm highly blessed

I finally get to understand what a man is when he had his godliness

To get there, I was highly stretched and I was highly stressed



[Sample]

I gotta deal with Bloods and Crips down [?] valley, black, white, red, brown, y'all ain't gon' stress me out



[Chorus]

Seen big pain, big loss, but still been big blessed

All that cap big, big, big, big, big, big, big stress

All you want big house, big car, big ice, big checks

Man I wish y'all did, did, did, did, did that less
