Don't change me (Hardcore rap)🎤🔥

[Intro - Spoken over calm cello] Yo... hold up. Before you try to mold me into you... Ask yourself... are you even worth following? [Verse 1 - FAST, AGGRESSIVE FLOW] Don't change me! Don't try to shape me! I'm not your puppet, I'm not your maybe! Every step I take you say "walk my way" But yo, look at your path, is that okay? You couldn't be a doctor, now you want me to be Couldn't be an athlete, now that's what you see in me But I got my own dreams, my own lane, my own key Stop tryna live through me, let me live through me! You say "do as I say" but not "do as I do" You out here wildin', what am I s'posed to do? Drug dealer on the block, thief in the night Hethen in the daytime, but "son, do what's right" Nah, that don't add up, that math is wrong Can't teach me lessons from a song you got wrong [Hook - Gangsta Backing Vocals: "DON'T! CHANGE! ME!"] DON'T CHANGE ME! I AM WHO I AM! DON'T FORCE ME TO BE SOMETHING I AIN'T, DAMN! DON'T CHANGE ME! LET ME STAND TALL! BEFORE YOU FIX ME, FIX YOURSELF FIRST OF ALL! DON'T CHANGE ME! DON'T BREAK ME DOWN! TEACH ME WITH LOVE, NOT A FIST AND A FROWN! DON'T CHANGE ME! I'MA DO WHAT'S RIGHT! BY MY OWN CHOICE, NOT YOUR FEAR AND YOUR FRIGHT! [Verse 2 - HARDER] Parents tryna control, grip tight on the soul "Be like me, be like me" - that's the only role But yo, what if your role is flawed from the start? You rush to the beating, never get to the heart Threaten to disown me 'cause I think for myself "Follow my footsteps" - but they lead to a shelf Of empty bottles, empty pockets, empty pride Now you want me to walk that same road and die? Nah, check yourself! Are you a good role model? Or just passing down trauma in a family bundle? Some of y'all dealers, abusers, liars too But got the nerve to tell me "boy, what you gon' do" It's high time we stand, it's high time we speak Teach the kids with love, make the future not weak Encouragement over violence, guidance over force Or we gon' keep repeating this toxic course [Hook - Gangsta Backing Vocals: "DON'T! CHANGE! ME!"] DON'T CHANGE ME! I AM WHO I AM! DON'T FORCE ME TO BE SOMETHING I AIN'T, DAMN! DON'T CHANGE ME! LET ME STAND TALL! BEFORE YOU FIX ME, FIX YOURSELF FIRST OF ALL! DON'T CHANGE ME! DON'T BREAK ME DOWN! TEACH ME WITH LOVE, NOT A FIST AND A FROWN! DON'T CHANGE ME! I'MA DO WHAT'S RIGHT! BY MY OWN CHOICE, NOT YOUR FEAR AND YOUR FRIGHT! [Bridge - Spoken, Cello builds] To every mother, every father, every elder listening... Love us enough to let us become. Teach us enough to choose right. But don't change us into your regrets. We are not your second chance. We are our first. [Verse 3 - FINAL BARS] Energy! Let's go! I see the trap! They set it for the youth! "Be like us" - but where's the proof? Proof in the pain, proof in the scars Proof in the bars behind prison bars You say "fall in line" but the line is crooked You say "take my advice" but the book is cooked I'm not your clone, I'm not your copy I'm not your plan B, I'm not your sorry I will stand up, I will rise up I will choose right, I will wise up And teach my kids different when it's my turn Love and direction, not the bridges we burn SO DON'T CHANGE ME! [Outro - Gangsta Backing Vocals fade with cello] Don't change me... Let me be... Teach me right... Set me free... MARV MARVEL MUSIC
