At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn, turn.
Some nights I'm tossing and turning in my bed,
At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn, turn.
Imagining your face, but I know what I'm up against.
Feels like I'm climbing a mountain, swimming upstream.
Hold me I'm falling, I'm falling further away.

Tell me do you remember,
A little baby
When you're on the streets,
But I never wanna streets and I 'm walking that beat
Do you look for me
Are you lookin for me the way Im' lookin for you
the way I look for you?
O how I wish that I knew, I wish I knew.
They say that life is a mystery
And I just want to know my history
What's my purpose and destiny
Why these secrets are kept from me
I'm livin my life from chapter two
I wanna start at page one they way you all do.
Are you looking for me like I'm looking for you?
This chapter of my life is one I wish I knew
Evening comes can you hear me call for you?
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
In the hope that you will somehow hear me too,
I'm under the moonlight, what's clear in this dark night,
I need to know you and tell you that I'm okay.
Tell me do you remember,
A little baby.
When your on the streets,
but I never wanna streets and I'm walking that beat
Do you look, for me
Are you looking for me the way I'm looking for you?
the way I look for you?
O how I wish that I knew, I wish I knew.
At nite I can't sleep, I toss and turn
My true reality is what I wanna learn
But they are tellin me I can't see the proof
On a little piece of paper that holds the truth
Of who I am and what I be
Yeah I'm livin but I'm missin a part of me
I have a right to know where I come from
Cause it's a human right just like everyone
I'm not ashamed that I was born
And how I came into this world It is not wrong
My identity must identify
With every part of me until the day I die
In my own country I am livin a lie
Cause they're ashamed of me and I don't know why
It's the lies that cause all the guilt and shame
but the truth will set us free and kill all the pain
I'm legit I'm legit
Not illegitimate and I will not quit
This rhyme I will spit until I get
My oriiginal birth certificate
With your honesty
Wanna know my history
With your honesty
Why these secrets are kept from me
Remember remember
Wanna Start at page one like you all do
Remember remember
This chapter of my life is one I wish I knew
Remember remember remember
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
