Vin's first single. A song about what is below the surface in all people. Real deep song. I'm on the chorus and did the beat.

Story behind the song
People fail to look past another's material possessions too often in life. This is a perfect Vinni P song because it describes people's judgements of him perfectly and how much you don't know about this kid. Genius song.
Lyrics
****Lyrics are not exact.****
People perceive, But do not really see
They’ve heard, But that’s just another mans word
So many questions, But the one that’s most mentioned
Who Am I? Who Am I?
So much shit is thrown around
My name is known around
Not a lot of people know what I’m bout
Let me spit my story out from my mouth
You think I write rap and act black
And you still ain’t got balls and say that behind my back
Most of this is just my therapy
You cats can just never let it be
Let me tell you yer def. barking up the wrong tree
I know who I am, zone you out I can
You can’t get to me
I’m too strong, can’t get through to me
You and yer buddies have a few laughs here and there
You think I pay any mind, you think I care
Don’t even try that death stare
All those death threats was just a dare
Cause we both know you ain’t got what it takes to
carry that out
Say you wanna kill me, I’ve heard it before
I’m still gonna be who I am plus a little more
I’m gonna be that white kid that does talent shows
I’m a keep doing it till my talent shows
Crack jokes on what you want but you can’t touch my flows
Say what you want bout my clothes
All that matters is what everyone knows
Not what they think, Who Am I?
Man I, am just a trouble youth
Writing down my broken times and the truth
Never spit lies, bout selling and drive byes
Never been caught up in that
I only spit what I know
So read between the lines and let my soul flow
Who Am I?
People perceive, But do not really see
They’ve heard, But that’s just another mans word
So many questions, But the one that’s most mentioned
Who Am I? Who Am I?
All I’m hearing is snickers and whispers
Looking at Mrs. And Mr.’s
I look at them treat them with respect
They look at my appearance and cut me at the neck
Don’t even bother do a double check
Looking at me like I got to step
They don’t see deep down
They don’t understand my covered ground
Don’t understand I’m affectionate
Did I mention it? I sometimes cry
I’ve had a hard start, these days I got a hard heart
Berried my father; it was early for us to part
This is my story
You want it? I’ll give you more a me
Been through two divorces
I’ve been on so many different courses
Been on rocks and green grass
Seen a lot but not all the scenery has passed
Can’t stay in the slow lane, got to be moving fast
I’ll fly bye and crash
And just like I caused it I’ll fix it
This is a straight story you can’t mix it
If I needed wanted it, I got it
Along with that only I can stop it
No one can get close, only I can top it
You’ll never understand
This weary boy, to a healthy man
I did it alone so alone I stand
No thanks need to be given
I am self driven, this is me, my story liven
I may breath the same air but I’m completely different
I question myself, don’t even know if I’m with it
Who Am I?
People perceive, But do not really see
They’ve heard, But that’s just another mans word
So many questions, But the one that’s most mentioned
Who Am I? Who Am I?
Don’t judge a book by its cover
If you do, to some I’m just a number
What I do, just a statistic
If you don’t look deeper you gonna miss it
I’m more then just water and flesh
Then you I’m no better but I’m no less
I’m more then good times I got stress
I got weight it sits on my mind and chest
It’s causing me to breath harder
When I get close to a solution I’m pulled farther
But through it all I try to find the shine
And I’m more then baby blue eyes
I got my own surprise
I don’t feed off others I got my own life
I got my own trouble but I’ll survive
Whatever it is trust me I’ll rise
If it ain’t done I won’t run
Won’t do it half ass, don’t always choose the path with grass
I’m stubborn did stuff my way
That’s why I Am who I Am today
When upset usually very quiet
Got thoughts but will never show how I’m violent
Got enough angry could be a on
