I Am What I Am Lyrics

I gave it my all (I gave it my all)

I stuck to my plan (I stuck to my plan)

Ya'll don't understand (ya'll don't understand)

I am what I am (I am what I am)

And I'll never fall (and I'll never fall)

Write my name in the sand (write my name in the sand)

Cause I took the chance (cause I took the chance)

I am what I am ( I am what I am)

I gave it my all (I gave it my all)

I stuck to my plan (I stuck to my plan)

Ya'll don't understand (ya'll don't understand)

I am what I am (I am what I am)

And I'll never fall (and I'll never fall)

Write my name in the sand (write my name in the sand)

Cause I took the chance (cause I took the chance)

I am what I am ( I am what I am)

Look at all that I'm made of

East new York in my make up

Wanna be a ball player

Dreams of a fourth grader

Watch AI record data

Going to the store later

Kool aid packs in all flavors

Big bro go to court later

Saturday we all stay up

Gospel music more prayer

Seen people that I went to school with, turn drug related for the paper holmes

Couldn't blame em for the choices they making since everybody won't make it home

Me, I looked the other way, wanna give my future family a safer home

Cause I come from the block where they waving chrome, and police got they sticks out and breaking bones

And you tryna survive here can't stay alone

Moms is out 9to 5in she ain't at home

Product of your environment, X & O's

And your innocence traded to make it known

You belong to the streets when you trade your soul

Everything is in reach when you play your role

And school ain't the move when your patience low

And school ain't the move when your grades is low

Bottom of the crates cut I been balling

And I'm not intimidated by the gunshots in the morning

I been motivated by my dreams and can't nobody spoil it

I won't go out alcoholic or answer when casket's calling, not me

I gave it my all (I gave it my all)

I stuck to my plan (I stuck to my plan)

Ya'll don't understand (ya'll don't understand)

I am what I am (I am what I am)

And I'll never fall (and I'll never fall)

Write my name in the sand (write my name in the sand)

Cause I took the chance (cause I took the chance)

I am what I am ( I am what I am)

I gave it my all (I gave it my all)

I stuck to my plan (I stuck to my plan)

Ya'll don't understand (ya'll don't understand)

I am what I am (I am what I am)

And I'll never fall (and I'll never fall)

Write my name in the sand (write my name in the sand)

Cause I took the chance (cause I took the chance)

I am what I am ( I am what I am)

Fighting all my demons

Look at all I'm achieving

Look at me make meaning

Look at me make reasons for you to keep being

Looking in the mirror seeing me cheesing and I be keeping you dreaming

I'll give you my all, if that ever would mean you'll never touch foot in a precinct

Or if you been in and out found a new way for some paper and make you stay decent

My image providing the only way out of the projects I'm hoping you see it

And if you follow the format I'm setting then this is a promise you keeping

Grinding throughout all the seasons, and winning strategic that's our little secret

The smell of crack rock ain't gon stop me dreaming in these back blocks

Or yellow tape and flashing lights from cop cars make the ave hot

Or threats from ratchets and these ratchets either way the mags pops

I just wanna have the freshest clothes on I can't stay a have not

Nah

My momma struggled, so I'mma hustle

Won't keep it subtle, I'mma piece the puzzle

I'mma reach success, I'm not reaching trouble

I see the vision, I don't even trust you

Knowing it ain't easy, I don't even buckle

This the play I made, only me in huddle

Talking to myself and the green gon double like that
