Avery Watts - Who I Am lyrics

(VERSE 1) 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 cla**; Top Bra**, 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, Ive 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 (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 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 (BRIDGE) When d**h 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
