They say I'm young But my purpose is the inspiration of a nation innovation Til I change the talk into a conversation I'm like a doctor and my patients are anxiously waiting Healing all the hating That faking in the paper chasin' It's hard to live up to these expectations that I'm facing And gain the admiration of an older generation That's why I'm pacing back and forth contemplating Meditating how to use what I've been taught as a positive force
Oh! (Oh!) This is who I am I wish you'd understand It's time to set me free My guardian angel No! (No!) No matter what I do I'm still a part of you I hope you'll always be My guardian angel
I wanna be the greatest in the world Not for the money or the fame or the girls Not for the car keys, jetskis or the vacation to the West Indies But simply 'cause I love it When I write I'm like a puppeteer Pullin' my strings, til the melody sings And the honesty makes me spread my wings Just calling me out was out of your mind Send that thought back down your spine I'm on the ground, it's all on the line Both sides say both ways at the same time Most days I can't wait to rhyme Express my stress, elevate and shine Progress, regress, each step's climbed So I take that test and I testify
Oh! (Oh!) This is who I am I wish you'd understand It's time to set me free My guardian angel No! (No!) No matter what I do I'm still a part of you I hope you'll always be My guardian angel
I feel so misunderstood 'Cause my intentions were good If you could only see that poetry can hide in the hood The passion in philosophy of possibilities Every dream is in my reach I'll find my freedom in this beat Follow me now, it's a whole new ground Swallow your pride I'll make you proud All of my life I've lived out loud We just preached to different crowds
Oh! (Oh!) This is who I am I wish you'd understand It's time to set me free My guardian angel No! (No!) No matter what I do I'm still a part of you I hope you'll always be My guardian angel
