Lyrics

[verse 1]
Walking through these blocks where I learned to breathe
Pavement taught me lessons that I still believe
Corner store wisdom, philosophy
Started from the bottom, now I'm asking honestly
Who am I when the mic goes dead?
Who am I with these thoughts in my head?
Born where the sirens sing lullabies
Raised where the truth gets mixed with lies

[Chorus]
Who am I? (Who am I?)
Tell me who am I? (Who am I?)
When the beat stops and the crowd goes home
Who am I? (Who am I?)
Tell me who am I? (Who am I?)
Standing here, still feeling alone
Ohhhhh, ohhhhh
Who am I?

[verse 2]
Subway tracks beneath my feet keep moving
But I'm still here, still got something to prove and
Every rhyme I spit is like a prayer I send
To the kid I was before this all began
Brick walls echo back my voice
Made it this far, wasn't really my choice
Neighborhood changed but I stayed the same
Now I'm wondering if I'm just playing a game

[Chorus]
Who am I? (Who am I?)
Tell me who am I? (Who am I?)
When the beat stops and the crowd goes home
Who am I? (Who am I?)
Tell me who am I? (Who am I?)
Standing here, still feeling alone
Ohhhhh, ohhhhh
Who am I?

[Bridge]
Used to know the answer, now I'm not so sure
Used to have the hunger, now I want something more
Fire escapes and rooftops know my name
But inside I'm still fighting that same old pain
Ahhhhh, ahhhhh
Tell me who I am...

[Chorus]
Who am I? (Who am I?)
Tell me who am I? (Who am I?)
When the beat stops and the crowd goes home
Who am I? (Who am I?)
Tell me who am I? (Who am I?)
Standing here, still feeling alone
Ohhhhh, ohhhhh
Who am I?

(Ohhhhh, ohhhhh)
(Who am I?)
(Just a voice from the block)
(Just a kid who never stopped...)
(Asking who am I?)
