Who I Am

(VERSE 1)
Ive spent years on the scene and Ive done my time
I was never given anything, Ive earned whats mine
I defy all lines, I will not retreat
You cant buy me, I spit right in the face of defeat

This is my class; Top Brass, a bold breed
A caliber conceived, birthed and born to lead
To be the first pick, first string, first in, front line
Screaming into the sky, The World is Mine!

I define defiance, represent rebellion
Embody true autonomy, have been through hell
And still do what I choose, been battered and bruised
Yeah Ive taken many beatings and gladly paid all my dues
But I refuse to dummy down and follow the herd
Im gonna say what I believe and stand by my word
See, Ive never known the taste of a silver spoon
Never took the blue pill, not to mention Im immune

Cant be controlled, wont do what Im told
Im not a number, a name tag, or fit into a mold
As my story unfolds I will proudly stand
Forever unapologetically; I dont give a damn
This is

(CHORUS)
WHO I AM (what I believe)
WHO I AM (with every breath I breathe)
WHO I AM (tried and true)
The only thing to be in this world is you

(VERSE 2)
Substance, with every single syllable I bring
cause you can talk all day long and never say a thing
We dont even need the music for me to convey Im not playing
Ill write it out in Braille, you can feel what Im saying
THATS REAL

No facade, I will never be part
of propped up pop propaganda, fake art
With no heart, no soul, I cannot be sold
Ill be the bright light in a dark mine thats black as coal

Whether Im mocked, blocked or knocked still Ill never stop
Like a rock, as consistent as hands on a clock
You can bet Im gonna be locked, loaded, ready for a test
I dont walk and talk, I DO better than the best.

No vest on my chest, Im not afraid to die
Ive been blessed, so I live every minute Im alive
And I take this vow; while Im here above ground
NEVER WILL I EVER BACK UP OR BOW DOWN

(BRIDGE)
When death comes to get me Ive got no regrets
I threw it all on the table when I placed my bet
Said it all, did it all, and Id do it again just so
SO THE WORLD WILL KNOW
