Who I Am (Avery Watts)

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, I 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... 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 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! This is... 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 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 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 The only thing to be in this world ( Is what?) The only thing to be in this world ( Is, come on...) Everything you are in this world IS YOU
