Detox
One of a Kind
[Verse 1]
This is me, nobody else
Ain’t tryna be nobody but my myself
Every day I slightly change I never stay the same
But I mean it when I say that I never change
Entered in the game tryna get my name stained
But when I hit the stage I feel nervous and afraid
Can’t worry gotta do what I do
Even if I lose I will always remain true
Uh, can’t wait till the day that I make it
Imma keep my way even if I’ll be hated
Cause I offer something different
And they might not permit it
But I hope they take the time to listen
Listen I ain’t tryna bring the culture to an end
Rather I’m bringing it out to an extend
When they hear me I don’t wanna be recognized
As one of those rappers that sound like any other guy
Rebel soul I’m not part of the system
But I don’t want my music to be labeled as Christian
This is for the world and I want them to hear me
Please give me a chance to reveal my abilities
Got variety, diversity, and versatility
Last thing I want is being somebody who’s not me
Am I cocky? No that ain’t me
I take suggestions as long as it helps me
But that doesn’t mean I’ll stray away from my roots
Fake it till I make it? Nah I'mma stick to the truth
God is my partna we facing trials by the mile
Going through these tests all load up in a pile
You might wonder about the reason for your treason
Thinking that it’s pointless but everything happens for a reason
If I didn’t face what I faced I wouldn’t be here
The things that I love now would’ve been so queer
Now it’s so clear of why things happened this way
If it didn’t I wouldn’t be who I am today
Through the rain and through the pain
From that point on I was never the same
And hey who would’ve known that I’d become a rapper
From here the past don’t seem like it mattered
But it’s important even though it’s past tense
Everything that happened up till now makes sense
From the depressing days
To the joyous phase
From when I trained
To the things I overcame
I used to always pray and I remember that
Man, I pray that I can bring that habit back
My love for video games and its storyline
And all the times when I was the guy who was known to cry
All the struggles that I had was so bad and so sad
But I’m glad of all that in fact I’m glad of where I’m at
Uh, came a long way and still got ways to go
Like working on my flow and loving those who oppose
It’s good to know that God is with me wherever I go
His presence is mighty even though he don’t show
Know this I ain’t gonna sell my identity
Just so that people can come and be a friend to me
I’m unashamed of my flaws and genetics
I’m creative, visionary, and poetic
I’m still imperfect but I’m willing to work
Might not be perfect but it will be worth it
Purpose of a harbinger I wanna achieve it
But it won’t ever come if I don’t believe it
I gotta trust myself and take me as I am
So that I can move on and carry on with my plans
Understand this I don’t this for fame
I’m giving the people something that they can relate
To you I might just be any other person
But that don’t mean that I’m worthless
Special in my own way and I got no shame
Of who I am that’s right Detox is my name
I’m no unreleased album, I’m no drag queen
I’m not the common term of the cure for a fiend
I’m just me homie and hopefully they may see
That this is Jesse the Real JGKC
