about
Every song that has come out of the Dick & Jane Project so far has been written by a young person who proudly wanted their name attached to it. But of course, there are just as many humble young artists on the planet who don’t seek public recognition, who quietly do great work behind the scenes and let the art speak for itself. This song’s lyricist falls into that latter category. When Glenn Davis was partnered with this young fellow, he asked what musical direction he wanted to take the song and the young lyricist replied he wanted a relatable song that showed love and protection like in the song “Take Care” by Drake. While Glenn got ready putting together some beats, the young man got to work on the lyrics, honing in on the theme of overcoming odds and proving doubters wrong. He even put up with ridicule from his classmates for his work ethic on the song. But when Glenn returned with a beat and saw where the young man had gone with the lyrics he was stunned by the honesty and bravery of the song.
lyrics
You don't know me and I don't know you
You look at me and I'm looking through you
But as you can see there is nothing you can do
Because I am me and you are who?
I'm trying to make it to the top
So stop trying to make me feel bad
for the things you couldn't do
I'm trying to make this flow
So when the time comes I can make the dough
hasn’t there, hasn’t there,
been a time, been a time
when you just can’t take it any more?
a time when you go on a rampage
you see nothing, nothing but people
people trying to hold you back
I’m gonna be who I wanna be,
I’m gonna be who I wanna be
I'm not gonna be the bad one no more
They always say the sky was the limit
But me I'm different I'm reaching for the summit
Me I'm only 12 but what does that mean
Does it make it seem that I can't live my dream?
There may be people better than me but I don't care
doing something like this at my age is rare
I look up to people that inspire me
Like Drake and Wheezy 'cause they make it look easy
You look at me and I'm looking through you
But as you can see there is nothing you can do
Because I am me and you are who?
I'm trying to make it to the top
So stop trying to make me feel bad
for the things you couldn't do
I'm trying to make this flow
So when the time comes I can make the dough
hasn’t there, hasn’t there,
been a time, been a time
when you just can’t take it any more?
a time when you go on a rampage
you see nothing, nothing but people
people trying to hold you back
I’m gonna be who I wanna be,
I’m gonna be who I wanna be
I'm not gonna be the bad one no more
They always say the sky was the limit
But me I'm different I'm reaching for the summit
Me I'm only 12 but what does that mean
Does it make it seem that I can't live my dream?
There may be people better than me but I don't care
doing something like this at my age is rare
I look up to people that inspire me
Like Drake and Wheezy 'cause they make it look easy
