Who I Am Songtext

Who I Am Songtext
(VERSE 1)
I′ve spent years on the scene and I've done my time
I was never given anything, I′ve earned what's mine
I defy all lines, I will not retreat
You can't 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 I′ve taken many beatings and gladly paid all my dues
But I refuse to dummy down and follow the herd
I′m gonna say what I believe and stand by my word
See, I've never known the taste of a silver spoon
Never took the blue pill, not to mention I′m immune
Can't be controlled, won′t do what I'm told
I′m not a number, a name tag, or fit into a mold
As my story unfolds I will proudly stand
Forever unapologetically; I don't 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 don′t even need the music for me to convey I′m not playing
I'll write it out in Braille, you can feel what I′m saying
THAT'S REAL
No facade, I will never be part
Of propped up pop propaganda, fake art
With no heart, no soul, I cannot be sold
I′ll be the bright light in a dark mine that's black as coal
Whether I′m mocked, blocked or knocked – still I'll never stop
Like a rock, as consistent as hands on a clock
You can bet I'm gonna be locked, loaded, ready for a test
I don′t walk and talk, I DO better than the best.
No vest on my chest, I′m not afraid to die
I've been blessed, so I live every minute I′m alive
And I take this vow; while I'm here above ground
NEVER WILL I EVER BACK UP OR BOW DOWN
(BRIDGE)
When death comes to get me I′ve got no regrets
I threw it all on the table when I placed my bet
Said it all, did it all, and I'd do it again just so...
SO THE WORLD WILL KNOW
I′ve spent years on the scene and I've done my time
I was never given anything, I′ve earned what's mine
I defy all lines, I will not retreat
You can't buy me, I spit right in the face of defeat
