[00:13.74]I'm sensitive I feel everything I feel everybody
[00:17.63]One man standing' on two words heal everybody
[00:20.92]Transformation then reciprocation karma must return
[00:24.41]Heal myself secrets that I hide buried in these words
[00:27.75]Death threats ego must die but I let it purge
[00:31.27]Pacify broken pieces of me it was all a blur
[00:34.60]Mother cried put they hands on her it was family ties
[00:37.99]I heard it all I should've grabbed a gun
[00:40.12]But I was only five
[00:41.28]I still feel it weighin' on my heart my first tough decision
[00:44.76]In the shadows clingin' to my soul as my only critic
[00:48.26]Where's my faith Told you I was Christian
[00:50.53]But just not today
[00:51.55]I transformed prayin' to the trees God is taken shape
[00:55.09]My mother's mother followed me for years in her afterlife
[00:58.43]Starin' at me on back of some buses I wake up at night
[01:02.02]Loved her dearly traded in my tears for a Range Rover
[01:05.37]Transformation you ain't felt grief 'til you felt it sober
[01:08.96]I wish I was somebody
[01:14.10]Anybody but myself
[01:22.32]Ooh I wish I was somebody
[01:27.50]Anybody but myself
[01:36.46]I remember looking' in the mirror knowin' I was gifted
[01:39.79]Only child me for seven years everything for Christmas
[01:43.23]Family ties they accused my cousin
[01:45.31]Did he touch you Kendrick
[01:46.67]Never lied but no one believed me when I said He didn't
[01:50.02]Frozen moments still holding' on it hard to trust myself
[01:53.40]I started rhymin' copin' mechanisms to lift up myself
[01:56.69]Talked to my lawyer told me not to be so hard on myself
[02:00.13]He has an aura I hope to achieve if I find some help
[02:03.67]Congratulations made it to be famous still I feel uneasy
[02:07.11]Water watching' live my life in nature
[02:09.38]Only thing relieves me
[02:10.59]Spirit guide whisper in my ear tell me that she sees me
[02:13.98]Did he touch you I said No again
[02:15.90]Still they didn't believe me
[02:17.37]Mothers brother said he got revenge for my mothers face
[02:20.66]Black and blue the image of my queen that I can't erase
[02:24.16]'Til this day can't look her in the eyes pain is takin' over
[02:27.59]Blame myself you never felt guilt 'til you felt it sober
[02:31.27]I wish I was somebody
[02:36.16]Anybody but myself
[02:44.58]Ooh I wish I was somebody
[02:50.25]Anybody but myself
[02:58.20]I was never high I was never drunk never out my mind
[03:01.99]I need control they handed me some smoke
[03:04.21]But still I declined
[03:05.38]I did it sober sittin' with myself I went through all emotions
[03:08.86]No dependents except for the one let me bring you closer
[03:12.36]Intoxicated there's a lustful nature that I failed to mention
[03:15.75]Insecurities that I project sleeping' with other women
[03:19.09]Whitney's hurt the pure soul I know
[03:21.17]I found her in the kitchen
[03:22.54]Askin' God Where did I lose myself And can it be forgiven
[03:25.87]Broke me down she looked me in my eyes
[03:28.15]Is there an addiction
[03:29.36]I said No but this time I lied
[03:31.54]I knew that I can't fix it
[03:33.06]Pure soul even in her pain know she cared for me
[03:36.25]Gave me a number said she recommended some therapy
[03:39.48]I asked my momma why she didn't believe me when I told her No
[03:43.06]I never knew she was violated in Chicago I'm sympathetic
[03:47.57]Told me that she feared it happened to me for my protection
[03:50.86]Though it never happened she wouldn't agree
[03:53.24]Now I'm affected twenty years later trauma has resurfaced
[03:57.05]Amplified as I write this song I shiver 'cause I'm nervous
[04:00.49]I was five questioning myself 'lone for many years
[04:03.68]Nothings wrong just results on how them questions made me feel
[04:07.11]I made it home seven years on tour chasin' manhood
[04:10.20]But Whitney's gone by time you hear this song
[04:12.78]She did all she could
[04:13.95]All these women gave me super powers what I thought I lacked
[04:17.49]I pray our children don't inherit me and feelings
[04:19.97]I attract a conversation not being' addressed in black families
[04:24.14]The devastation hauntin' generations and humanity
[04:27.43]They raped our mothers then they raped our sisters
[04:29.91]Then they made us watch then made us rape each other
[04:32.52]Psychotic torture between our lives we ain't recovered
[04:35.34]Still living' as victims in the public eyes who pledge allegiance
[04:38.89]Every other brother has been compromised
[04:41.36]I know the secrets every other rapper sexually abused
[04:44.70]I see 'em daily buryin' they pain in chains and tattoos
[04:48.09]So listen close
[04:49.00]Before you start to pass judgement on how we move
[04:51.64]Learn how we cope
[04:52.50]Whenever his uncle had to walk him from school
[04:55.02]His anger grows deep in misogyny
[04:57.15]This is post-traumatic black families and a sodomy
[05:00.34]Today is still active
[05:01.95]So I set free myself from all the guilt that I thought I made
[05:05.44]So I set free my mother all the hurt that she titled shame
[05:08.78]So I set free my cousin chaotic for my mothers pain
[05:12.17]I hope Hykeem made you proud 'cause you ain't die in vain
[05:15.66]So I set free the power of Whitney may she heal us all
[05:19.20]So I set free our children may good karma keep them with God
[05:22.44]So I set free the hearts filled with hatred
[05:24.76]Keep our bodies sacred
[05:26.03]As I set free all you abusers this is transformation
[05:29.71]I wish I was somebody
[05:34.65]Anybody but myself
[05:42.89]Ooh I wish I was somebody
[05:48.01]Anybody but myself
[05:57.32]You did it I'm proud of you
[06:03.59]You broke a generational curse
[06:06.79]Say Thank you dad
[06:08.70]Thank you daddy thank you mommy thank you brother
[06:20.94]Mr Morale
[06:24.93]Before I go in fast asleep love me for me
[06:36.54]I bare my soul and now we're free

Written by：Thundercat、Sam Dew、Sounwave、Kendrick Lamar、J.LBS、Bēkon、Beth Gibbons
I'm sensitive I feel everything I feel everybody
One man standing' on two words heal everybody
Transformation then reciprocation karma must return
Heal myself secrets that I hide buried in these words
Death threats ego must die but I let it purge
Pacify broken pieces of me it was all a blur
Mother cried put they hands on her it was family ties
I heard it all I should've grabbed a gun
But I was only five
I still feel it weighin' on my heart my first tough decision
In the shadows clingin' to my soul as my only critic
Where's my faith Told you I was Christian
But just not today
I transformed prayin' to the trees God is taken shape
My mother's mother followed me for years in her afterlife
Starin' at me on back of some buses I wake up at night
Loved her dearly traded in my tears for a Range Rover
Transformation you ain't felt grief 'til you felt it sober
I wish I was somebody
Anybody but myself
Ooh I wish I was somebody
Anybody but myself
I remember looking' in the mirror knowin' I was gifted
Only child me for seven years everything for Christmas
Family ties they accused my cousin
Did he touch you Kendrick
Never lied but no one believed me when I said He didn't
Frozen moments still holding' on it hard to trust myself
I started rhymin' copin' mechanisms to lift up myself
Talked to my lawyer told me not to be so hard on myself
He has an aura I hope to achieve if I find some help
Congratulations made it to be famous still I feel uneasy
Water watching' live my life in nature
Only thing relieves me
Spirit guide whisper in my ear tell me that she sees me
Did he touch you I said No again
Still they didn't believe me
Mothers brother said he got revenge for my mothers face
Black and blue the image of my queen that I can't erase
'Til this day can't look her in the eyes pain is takin' over
Blame myself you never felt guilt 'til you felt it sober
I wish I was somebody
