Someone Else - Alain Clark

Some days it just gets so hard
having to deal with it all
Don't wanna sound like a girl but sometimes I just get in the shit, yeah
Oh it's so difficult to get out of it, no
I get insecure too girl, yes I do

The thing is I think I can't afford no wrong
gotta make an impression I'm strong
gotta do it all right
for my girl, for my peeps for my homies, all right
it's like my mind is screwing with me
Damn what am I doing to me
I hate looking through somebody else's eyes

Oh look into the mirror tell me what you see
All of those eyes looking back at me
I don't even have an identity no more

We live in a world where we
can't be ourselves
but baby with you I don't
need to be someone else

We live in a world where
everything needs to be perfect
sometimes I get so scared that
you won't think that I'm good enough so
baby, if you let me be myself
then I can be all that I can be for you
this I promise to you

I can feel there is so much more in me
if you want girl you go exploring me
all of that talk is boring me
psychologically extorting me
I don't wanna wake up another day
and look at myself in a negative way
maybe right now is the time to say I'm not gonna play that game no more

We live in a world where we
can't be ourselves
but baby with you I don't
need to be someone else

Let me break it on down now:
can't afford it Imma be the one that pays in the end
need to tell you cause I know I'm not as real as I can
Need to do it cause the feelings got me hurting baby
need to show you cause the feeling's got me burning baby
baby you and I can go to places undiscovered
Let's surrender baby done with being undercover

I got to stand up to everything that is wrong within my life, oh girl
and I hope that I inspire you
to do the same, oh to do the same
to do the same

We live in a world where we
can't be ourselves
but baby with you I don't
need to be someone else

no no no no no no...
