Mother (Mother I Sober Demo) Kendrick Lamar

[Verse 1]
I awoke this morning undecided
My demons taking over my life yeah
Sooner or later it's a family divided
These patterns getting hard to hide yeah
They say I should be satisfied
They tell me I have the world, but that's a lie
I wish the way I feel could be pacified

[Chorus]
Sometimes, I wish I was somebody
Anybody but myself
Oh I wish I was somebody
Anybody but myself

[Verse 2]
If I told you I'm about to break, would you look at me different?
Character out of place, would I lose your attention?
Lеt me know your intentions, cause latеly I've been watching everybody
It's apparent that transparency never see monotony
Got off a tour looking for closure, mixing emotions of being grateful and feeling like some of y'all getting over
What's a puppet on stage, singing and dancing ablaze but trading his worth?
Distorted by the moneys thats made slave with a verse
I feel like Prince Rodgers, I feel liberation is free, I feel I should miss the Oscars
You celebrate me as the artist or just a profit
A question I have for the ones around me that's turning toxic
My lungs been heavy from all the smokes booby traps
Reminiscing on what it was knowing that this ain't that
I envision of a rocking in a hard place
I hope my daughter isn't born with the piece of my heart break
You know stress carries on in your kids reap the mistakes you made
And I admit I can be dismissive, if I can't relate
And I admit that my only commit to stop playing games
And I admit that I'm bad at talking myself out of shame
And who's to blame when the crowd stops cheering and they passing dirty looks
I know understand that I'll never be understood, blah!
