He was a smart kid, it was always about Lecrae 'cause he was the baby

We knew he had somethin' in him, we never expected this though

Now, grandma said we came from Jamaica

Crossed the ocean, 'til we made it

And my DNA tested said the Westside of the motherland is where they take us from

Um, 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

Or made it this far without a cosign

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

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

Now I'm up, it's a real life

And when it get real I can feel Christ

Heal this branch on the family tree that was here for me

Man, the roots so deep

Self-discovery (Self-discovery)

Self discover me (Self discover me)

Help uncover me (Help uncover me)

Help me to understand who I'm supposed to be

Not just a wannabe

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

Give me money, fool!

I've seen big pain, big loss, but still been big blessed (Blessed)

All that cap big, big, big, big, big, big, big stress (Stress)

All y'all want big house, big car, big ice, big checks (Checks)

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

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

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

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 at the revenue

Seven numbers on a smartphone

Equal cash app the lights on

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

Half black, half unknown

Are we Cherokee or Seminole?

I got PTSD runnin' through me from my kinfolk

Stress had me going AWOL

Sin got me actin' Adolf

I'm like "Aye y'all, I need days off, I'm depressed, having brain fog"

It's obvious, I'm highly blessed

I finally get to understand what a man is when he at his godliest

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

I gotta deal with Bloods and Crips, Calvinists and charismatics, black, white, red, brown, y'all ain't gon' stress me out

I've seen big pain, big loss, but still been big blessed (Blessed)

All that cap big, big, big, big, big, big, big stress (Stress)

All y'all want big house, big car, big ice, big checks (Checks)

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