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
