Do you ever wonder who you are without what you do?
Do you ever wonder if you're just what you do?
Maybe affection is a luxury
What I bought and what came naturally
It all came to me at some point
They say they never saw me, but
I did more just to be seen
On top of the pile of my corpses
A hill among green fields with my crucifix on it
And you wouldn't know how to love me anymore
If you saw me without what I have
Strip me down if you want to get hurt
You always leave the last petal
I wanted to understand who truly loved me
I wanted to understand how much money matters
I wanted to know if I was worth anything
I wanted to understand who I really was
I wanted to know the whole truth
I wanted to understand how much dreams matter
I wanted to know if I was worth anything
Without love, without status, without my money
A f*cked up past, I was so messed up
Now I have an Amex with no limit
How common it is to get hurt in these ALER housing projects
When you have to crack the system
To become a man there's no choice
There's only purity in narcotics
Tropical sun, what a palette
Flashes attack me, remembering the red of the police paddle
I know who I am with it, who I am without it
You don't forget what you did to survive
Like my mom who stole food from the cafeteria
I was an impostor, I made myself king
Only with sweat, tears, and blood
Because I carried the cross on my back that
Now my Christ cries diamonds
I wanted to understand who truly loved me
I wanted to understand how much money matters
I wanted to know if I was worth anything
I wanted to understand who I really was
I wanted to know the whole truth
I wanted to understand how much dreams matter
I wanted to know if I was worth anything
Without love, without status, without my money
I wanted to understand who truly loved me
I wanted to understand how much money matters
I wanted to know if I was worth anything
I wanted to understand who I really was
I wanted to know the whole truth
I wanted to understand how much dreams matter
I wanted to know if I was worth anything
Without love, without status, without my money
