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
