Lyrics

who am I, who am I, a boy named Bari just spitting these lucid rhymes, thoughts ideas just drifting all through my mind, one minute I'm feeling good next minute it's suicide, I'm wishing to free my soul, just give me a peace of mind, relief from these demons I'm just seeking that sweet divine, destruction is all around me corruption it just surrounds me,
the whole world can doubt me as long as I have my girl, but even she starts to misunderstand my thoughts and all of my plans, my dreams seem to unreal, darts thrown at romance, hearts broken, some lost focus, but still I just

(chorus- Bari, Sa'rah Rasheed, Danny G, Amorous Ebony)
Dance to the rhythm of my own beat, I'm just standing on my own feet and I can be alone in the globe but I'm never feeling lonely, just Dance, to the rhythm of my own beat, I'm just standing on my own feet and I can be alone in the globe but I'm never feeling lonely

(verse 2- Bari)
Who am I, who am I, a boy named Bari consumed by these human eyes, I hop on stage and influence these minds, dreams that I'm pursuing I'm shooting for moons and skies, trying to penetrate the stars, with every bullet from my pistol, a missile aimed at my heart, Cupid had to shoot it, I fell in love with this braud,
Greatness was her name we never growing apart, we floating like Noah's ark over these oceans of frozen hearts, eloping hoping yet knowing that focus will get us far, I put the wedding band on her hand, hold her by the waist music plays and so we just

(chorus- Bari, Sa'rah Rasheed, Danny G, Amorous Ebony)
Dance to the rhythm of my own beat, I'm just standing on my own feet and I can be alone in the globe but I'm never feeling lonely, just Dance, to the rhythm of my own beat, I'm just standing on my own feet and I can be alone in the globe but I'm never feeling lonely

(bridge- Bari, Sa'rah Rasheed)
and even though I stand alone in my vision, I can feel the beat in bones as I lose my soul to the steady flow of the rhythm and I feel it go on, and I feel it go on and on and on
hey! Muthaf**k anybody trying to put a stop to my beat, just move your feet and dance, and dance, and dance

(Danny G)
Bari 'Talo on the track bring it back yea, Bari 'Talo on the track like a DJ run it back, Bari 'Talo on the track bring it back yea, Bari 'Talo on the track, now bring it back
Hey, hey, hey, I got them singing hey, hey hey, and now they singing, hey, hey, hey, I got em singing hey, hey, hey, hey

(verse 3 - Bari)
who am I, who am I, a student of the universe blooming with the fruits of life, or a lunatic aloof to worth doomed to lose his mind, to the foolishness of Lucifer greed consumes his mind, dreams of jewels and dimes from speaking lucrative lies, I'm here dancing with the devil pursuing roots of demise where fear dilutes your mind, nah never that, too clever every endeavor is a beretta shooting back at the bullsh*t that fools taught, as I moonwalk through the rude talk, with cool thoughts, and a huge heart, you're too lost, need a coupon just to save your soul, trying to buy it back, your mind is trapped and you let the globe take control no dance, to the rhythm of your own beat, sway, to the vision that your keeps, hey, all my ni**as gonna be winning, we all bloom the globe's our ballroom life's a ballerina spinning now dance
