"Who Am I?" lyrics
Wretch 32
Merlin
What's the answer?
Listen, I'm starting to feel like a different person, some say I'm switched and changed
Mum, am I still the same son that you killed to raise?
'Cah Wretch 32 or [?]'s still Jermaine
So I don't know while I'm feeling strange, yeah
And while my baby mum be cooking me some dinner
I'll be gazing, just looking in the mirror, I'm in Scarface mode
I swear down, these dargs ain't road
I don't care about the H, nor halves they've sold, or
I'm daydreaming 'bout bussing off the biggest straps
Sipping punch while I'm kicking back
But the problem be I got the Ps, and I can shop for heat
But if I cop it then I'll cock and squeeze, ha
And that's why I try avoid that life, 'cah
My type only enjoys that hype and
I'm right when I say I can't die twice
True, I am, I think I need to know who I am
I need to know, you know
'Cah I'm telling you
At times, you be thinking you're in a different world, man, I swear to God
Look, when I'm performing on the stage and I hear people call my name
Normal strangers think I'm famous and I've flown into the game
It's kinda easy putting thoughts up in your brain
Sign a few CDs, now your face is as important as your name
And when you're walking in the rave and they're playing your tune
And you're seeing you're the guy that they're making noise to
Little girls, grown men, mature ladies, boys too, ha
You feel like you're in another world
They go from taking pictures on their phone to having pictures in their home
Private callers keep on calling just to listen to your tone
Promoters bringing you abroad just to rip the show
Pay for your flight, hotels and commission, bro
Like, all of this can get you going 'til you think you've blown, ha
Plus, you're getting clocked on your sister's road, ha
And that's the path of who I am
I think it's getting hard, now I need to know who I am
Who am I, man?
I'm Wretch 32, man
When I'm at home, am I still Wretch though?
I don't even know what's going on
Yeah, it's getting crazy in the night 'cause there's a baby in my life
And he looks at me like I'm the most amazing ting alive
And I know I've gotta train him to do right but who am I to teach?
'Cah half the time, I'm still crazy in the mind
And when I step inside, I just see him gazing in my eyes
Like "Daddy, pick me up, I wanna play until I'm tired"
I'm there but I'm tense, it's scaring me mentally
It's weird just knowing that the little man depends on me
Like other fathers know the feeling, whether partners
Or just dealing with the mum, you know it's deeper than just love
It's like you're breathing for your son, and the problem is
You're on the road and the streets can get corrupt
Leave you feeling like you're stuck, it's kinda easy to get down, yeah
The other problem is it's harder to get up
Believe me, man, even Superman could use a hand
Now I think I know who I am
I'm Wretch 32, man
I'm Jermaine
I'm a father
Scott
Everyone needs level-headed people around them, you know
'Cah I swear it's easy to get lost, man
But it's harder to find yourself, hm
