Json Identity (feat. Jai)
[Chorus: Jai]
Who loves me?
Who cares for me? Yeah
Oh, I wonder, these questions as I sit and stare
At reflections of all my imperfections
I'm glad You see beauty here, You love me
(All I want is my true identity)
[Verse 1: Json]
Funny how your past can affect your present
Future's being prepared by your adolescence
Time flies, can't get it back, that's a hard lesson
Sixteen, don't know who we are, so you start guessing
A little her, a little him
A little them, now look at me
Well, I guess this who I will be then
Be them, so we'll be friends, anything so I'll be in
Outside of it all
Outcries of the fall
Nothing to fill the hole that's God-sized in our hearts
That feeling, I just wanna be accepted
You ever had that talk with your reflection, like?
I wish my frame was a little smaller (Little smaller)
Wish my head wasn't so big (So big)
I wish my stomach, I could tuck it in
Yeah, I wish I was a little taller (Little taller)
I hate the man in the mirror cause the man in the mirror just reminds me of myself
So I tell the man in the mirror, "Stay the man in the mirror, I don't wanna be myself"
[Chorus: Jai]
Who loves me?
Who cares for me? Yeah
Oh, I wonder, these questions as I sit and stare
At reflections of all my imperfections
I'm glad You see beauty here, You love me
(All I want is my true identity)
[Verse 2: Json]
Uh
Often I wrestle with being myself
At the core, how He sees me, I don't see myself
Go ahead, tell me I'm made in my Maker's image
My reply, "I wish my Maker would've made me different"
Ever wish you could Photoshop your life?
Crop out the flaws that's obvious, edit your lack of confidence?
Uh, but life is never that easy, is it?
Picture perfect is nonexistent, nobody lives it
Yeah, but that don't stop us from dreaming, do it?
A picture with a broken frame is hard to see me through it
When I was young, people's approval, I'd grab and embrace it
They just parking attendants, I needed validation
Thirsty for affirmation
Hungry for recognition
Never feel like enough
Even after repentance
You're not alone if you don't see you as you should, but believe in what He said, He made us
And we good
[Bridge: Jai]
Picture painted on the wall
Who's the fairest one of all?
What do you see when you see me?
You see beauty, yeah
You see beauty, yeah
You see me
You love me
(All I want is my true identity)
[Chorus: Jai]
Who loves me?
Who cares for me? Yeah
Oh, I wonder, these questions as I sit and stare
At reflections of all my imperfections
I'm glad You see beauty here, You love me
(All I want is my true identity)
