Still Me

Nobody original

They can’t come up with a thing

I inspired you youngins

They don’t even know what YAE and TTB mean

They just take it and run with it

Like they a part of the team

Ever since I reemerged

I been doing my thing

I’m not chasing the fame

I’m just chasing my dream

They can steal my name, but not my lane

Took my flame, but I still bring rain

I’m the blueprint, they just chase the fame

But I’m cut from cloth they’ll never claim

They mimic my steps,

But they don’t feel the pain in my rep,

Did it all without a check

Had nothin’ but my name and respect

I built this from the mud,

Now they treat it like a trend

But I ain’t bitter, I just bend,

Never break, I transcend

I seen ’em switch styles every other season

I stayed solid, gave ‘em reasons for believin’

They want the crown, but not the journey or the meaning

Took my acronyms, but not the weight that I was heaving

They can take the name, but they can’t take the grind

Try to copy style, but can’t copy the mind

Labels switched up, but I never switched sides

They want the wave, I was the tide

Took the tags, but never knew the truth

Built my lane since way back in my youth

I see the fakes, but I still let ‘em be

‘Cause no matter what they steal — I’m still me

⸻

Legacy ain’t letters — it’s the lessons I breathe

You can clone the sound, but you can’t be me

I been slept on, stepped on, even left behind

But pressure made gold outta every line

So let ’em talk, let ’em run with my name

The real gon’ feel, and the fake just playin’

I ain’t bitter — I’m built, I’m free

Say whatever you want — I’m still me
