[Intro: Black Buddha Bear]
When you're me, when you're me
When you're me, when you're me
When you're me

[Verse 1: Terminal Knowledge & Black Buddha Bear]
When you're me, you've been it for nearly a century
When you're me, you never need any accessories
When you're me, you can expect to be the last in line
When you're me, you ain't never gonna be satisfied
Not exactly the gold standard of rap
My flow sick, my flow cancer in fact
I won't stand for a wack bar
Cro mag with a slack jaw
When you're me, you never bend your knee
When you're me, there's no gas in the tank
When you're me, there's no cash in the bank
I'm finna travel the world, and sail each of The Seven Seas
When you're me, you get between any and everything
(When you're me)
When you're me, you run a solid campaign
When you're me, you brung the chronic, back pain
Venom in my fangs, I won't ever win the game
Better pedal to the metal when you get up in my lane, skrt skrt
The birdie go chirp chirp, her
When you're me, your word isn't worth dirt, word
Uh, work shirt smellin' kinda loud
Never mind the crowd, I'ma let it quiet down
Dead the vibe, I'm a certified vibe murderer
Puttin' another dime up in the Wurlitzer
Rick James jumpin' on your furniture
Fuck your couch, ain't nothin' to climb further for
[Verse 2: Acumental & Black Buddha Bear]
(When you're me), you get wiser with age
The pen tip descends and collides with the page
Headcase, put your mind in a cage (Woah)
Tryin' to find zen when the rage and the violence invades
(When you're me), you take a train to the bus (Oh)
Lemon haze in your lungs, fresh paint on your brush (Oh)
Fuck a buzz, keep your name on the hush (Shh)
Turn days into months, inundated as you fail to adjust
(When you're me), you stay out and drink too much
Always think about your friends but don't keep in touch
Feet trudge through the sleet and sludge, you can feel the rush
Shift gears and release the clutch
Complete the puzzle piece by piece, supreme hustle
Fiend for deep cuts and a beat that bumps
Inspire an empire like the Incas
Once you put your pen up on the sheet, don't let the ink get smudged (Woah)
(When you're me), smoke herb 'til your throat hurts
(When you're me), quote words in a dope verse
(When you're me), you proceed to rap well
Real heads take notice, other people can't tell
(When you're me), stress levels too high
Work for everybody else, but I could never do mine
Wait, I mean yours, don't stray, stay the course
Gotta make a big bang for the radio source
[Interlude: Black Buddha Bear]
When you're me, when you're me

[Verse 3: Joey Cool]
When you're me, you look at life like
You're bringin' heavy artillery into this knife fight (Yeah)
It's hard to do when they call you larger than life, like
See, I'm a father but can't tell my daughter "night night"
'Cause I be on the road, it's another show if the price right (Woo!)
When you're me, you be chasin' after a bag
That's gonna counteract the fact that you actually had a nice life (That's real)
Took it for granted and gradually you slip into destructive patterns
It's hard to imagine livin' this kind of life (Yeah)
There's bound to be an explosion with all this dynamite (Boom)
And someone told me I'm hopeless, I said, "you kinda right"
This picture too dark, focus, you need some kinda light (Preach)
When you're me, you gon' notice people expect a lot
There's different seasons, ingredients in this meltin' pot
I got a reason for breathin'
Whatever help we got, we got from people that was believin' in every single thought (Yes)
When you're me, you gon' have alliance with everybody
Be on the road with Ben Ac-Flex and Term Hardy (Woo!)
That model chick be provoking you with that firm body
She probably gon' have you open, you gotta learn, buddy
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't let me start (Uh)
Build it then tear it apart (Uh)
I got a scar on my heart (Uh)
I gotta swim with the sharks (Uh)
I had to make it a point, kinda been vulnerable in the art (Uh)
When you're me you know it, that's how I made a mark
[Outro: Black Buddha Bear]
When you're me, when you're me
When you're me, when you're me
When you're me
