What I Am -

Verse 1:

I know I may seem unrepentant, unrelenting

And if only you could understand by Nature I’ve been Naughty for a second

Selfish on deliver, fish who’s swimming out of water

Out of sorts, by default, bound to live a life of boredom

Two things in this life are automatic, death and taxes

So live it to the max while the others grind their axes

Upon my shoulders carry heavy weight like Atlas

The axis continues to spin though relax bitch

I got this, locked this, until the clock hits

Midnight, tick tock, then it gets toxic

Hot lips six shots on the rocks quick

Talk apocalyptic on my Biggie and my Pac shit

If you don’t like me, I don’t really give a fuck

See I don’t like you either, not like I’m a thug, I’m Ivy Leaguer

But because I’ve been beleaguered, I believe that I should be heard

With these words, free bird so I leap first

Hook 1:

Understand that I am what I am

Everything I want, isn’t everything I can

Understand that I am what I am

More than just another more than any other man

Understand that I am what I am

Everything I’m for, more than willing to withstand

Understand that I am what I am

It’s all a part of life, all according to the plan

Bridge 1:

Understand (x3)

Understand that I am what I am

Verse 2:

Furthest thing from religious, I burnt my bridges

In search of riches and bitches, the vertigo’s virtually vicious

You heard it though, delicious verse inside a nerdy flow

Thirty years of living like I’m in a fucking hurry though

Despite the Ivy and the nerdy vo-

Cabulary, captivate a Capulet like Romeo you know I’m ready

Another drink a toast to life and love it every day

Until the drink becomes a way to cope and hope escape

Bridge 2:

What am I?

Down and dirty a scoundrel

What am I?

Thirty years worth of scandal

Wham I?

I’m whatever I say, Pai Mei, if you really wanna try and eye me

Hook 2:

Understand that I am what I am

Everything I want, isn’t everything I can

Understand that I am what I am

More than just another more than any other man

Understand that I am what I am

Everything I’m for, more than willing to withstand

Understand that I am what I am

It’s all a part of life, all according to the plan

Verse 3:

Taking a moment to catch my breath

Nevertheless

Drink in the beautiful music

Darkest depths always deliver the best

Measure the distance

From here to the edge of existence

From here to the end, not making amends

It’s what I am and I’ll say it again

Bridge 3:

What am I?

Down and dirty a scoundrel

What am I?

Thirty years worth of scandal

Wham I?

I’m whatever I say, Pai Mei, if you really wanna try and eye me

Hook 3:

Understand that I am what I am

Everything I want, isn’t everything I can

Understand that I am what I am

More than just another more than any other man

Understand that I am what I am

Everything I’m for, more than willing to withstand

Understand that I am what I am

It’s all a part of life, all according to the plan

Outro:

Understand (x3)

Understand that I am what I am
