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
