I, Me, Myself

[Chorus]

I'm too fucked up, I can't even tolerate myself

Sleep with one eye open, in case they try and move in stealth

And my mama's worried 'bout me, but I ain't scared to go to hell

Only God can judge me, it's just I, me and myself, yeah

It's just I, me and myself

I love my lil' brother, he remind me of myself

I be nasty on my Nas shit, ain't really hard to tell

You know that they be crawlin', if they buyin', I'm gon' sell, yeah

It's just I, me and myself

I love my lil' brother, he remind me of myself

I be nasty on my Nas shit, ain't really hard to tell

Uh, it's just I, me and myself

[Verse 1]

Long lines on AC Transit, I put that Illmatic CD on

Lookin' out the window, at the walls they put graffiti on

Passin' by the billboards I knew one day I would see me on

But until then, just keep keepin' on

Easier said than done, I was the one they kept on sleepin' on

Told me keep dreamin' on

Back then, I had Girbauds, a 3X tall tee, and a beanie on

Who knew that me, myself and I would make it here? That's crazy

A lot of shit has changed since the version I had Bebe on

Love my lil' brother, born a day apart and three years

Both Gemini twins, everything we been through, we share these tears

Every time I look at him, it feel just like I see mirrors

Been through thick and thin, and he helped me get through all these fears, for real

[Chorus]

I'm too fucked up (You know), I can't even tolerate myself (Love you, bro)

Sleep with one eye open, in case they try and move in stealth (Ayy)

And my mama's worried 'bout me, but I ain't scared to go to hell (I be alright, mama)

Only God can judge me, it's just I, me and myself, yeah (You know)

It's just I, me and myself (Uh)

I love my lil' brother, he remind me of myself

I be nasty on my Nas shit, ain't really hard to tell

You know that they be crawlin', if they buyin', I'm gon' sell, yeah

It's just I, me and myself

I love my lil' brother, he remind me of myself

I be nasty on my Nas shit, ain't really hard to tell

Uh, it's just I, me and myself

[Verse 2]

You know, uh

Now it's just I, me and myself

They couldn't teach me this, I had to learn to like bein' myself

Got through that self-doubt, now I'm just fine bein' myself

I couldn't look to them, had to go and find me in myself

Well, now I got it though

Put 'em skeletons in my closet and told 'em, "Adiós"

Let 'em keep the Prada shoes 'cause I was never proud of those

Made it through those sloppy joes, made it out them stop and goes

Ice cream with the baddest hoes remind me of the rocky roads

I took the scenic

Crazy to call it crazy 'til they get it, then it's genius

And I might be the rapper, but she payin' for all her features

I, me and myself, the only people I believe in

You know, yeah

[Chorus]

I'm too fucked up, I can't even tolerate myself

Sleep with one eye open, in case they try and move in stealth

And my mama's worried 'bout me, but I ain't scared to go to hell

Only God can judge me, it's just I, me and myself, yeah

It's just I, me and myself

I love my lil' brother, he remind me of myself

I be nasty on my Nas shit, ain't really hard to tell

You know that they be crawlin', if they buyin', I'm gon' sell, yeah

It's just I, me and myself

I love my lil' brother, he remind me of myself

I be nasty on my Nas shit, ain't really hard to tell

Uh, it's just I, me and myself

[Outro]

Nasty on my Nas shit, ain't really hard to tell

Love my little brother, it's just I, me and myself
