"Another You" by emcee Amerigo Gazaway and producer Satoru is a poignant reflection on reinvention and overcoming adversity. Set to a soulful boom bap backdrop, Gazaway's introspective lyrics grapple with battling depression, personal demons, the pressures of life, and the constant pursuit of self-improvement. With raw honesty and emotional depth, this track serves as a reminder that every day brings the chance to evolve, to grow, and to become 'another you.'
lyrics
[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
'Sup love, I know I haven’t been myself lately
I guess I’ve been too afraid to ask for help lately
Friends and fam worried about my mental health lately
And I’d be lying if I said I never felt crazy
Or felt like the all the walls were closing in on me
Shout out to my kinfolk for always checking in on me
Like how you been homie? I’ve been stressed out
Tryin' to make a livin' but I’m living check to check now
Wondering how I’m supposed to pay off all this debt now
Should I settle down or just move on to the next town?
Hard to get respect like it's some sort of flex now
Put my trust in people, always end up feeling let down
So please forgive me if I’ve been rude
I would stop to chat but I’m really not in the mood
Got a lot of work to do, mostly on myself
'Cause at the end of they day, you can't depend on no one else, listen
[Hook: Amerigo Gazaway]
Sometimes I wake up and I feel like I'm a different person
Well maybe not completely different version
Everyday is a chance to start something new
A golden opportunity to become 'another you'
Sometimes I wake up and I feel like I'm a different person
Well maybe not completely different version
Everyday is a chance to start something new
A golden opportunity to become 'another you'
[Verse 2: Amerigo Gazaway]
'Sup cuz, I know I haven’t been in touch lately
Truth be told I've been going through some stuff lately
See times been tough lately, but I’m still here
Put in years of hard work, blood sweat and real tears
Conquered real fears, faced my demons head on
The weak or the strong, step to me and you’re dead wrong
A lot friends gone but some are still with us
I guess Ddeath comes for all but you learn to just deal with it
Because it is, survival of the fittest
But if you’re hurtin' inside? Don't be to prideful to admit it
Shit, who am I kiddin', I’m guilty of it too
But it never too late to become 'another you'
Flip the script hit the brakes and try to change directions
Sometimes all takes is a slight change in perspective
For you to see things, from a different point of view
It ain’t over yet, nah I still got a lot more to do, listen
[Hook: Amerigo Gazaway]
Sometimes I wake up and I feel like I'm a different person
Well maybe not completely different version
Everyday is a chance to start something new
A golden opportunity to become 'another you'
Sometimes I wake up and I feel like I'm a different person
Well maybe not completely different version
Everyday is a chance to start something new
A golden opportunity to become 'another you'
[Outro: Amerigo Gazaway)
Imagine if somewhere there was a different version of you
What would you do?
What would you do?
If you discovered that there was 'another you'?
