[00:17.72](VERSE 1)
[00:22.87]I’ve spent years on the scene and I’ve done my time
[00:25.86]I was never given anything, I’ve earned what’s mine
[00:28.54]I defy all lines, I will not retreat
[00:30.95]You can’t buy me, I spit right in the face of defeat
[00:33.74]This is my class; Top Brass, a bold breed
[00:36.30]A caliber conceived, birthed and born to lead
[00:38.86]To be the first pick, first string, first in, front line
[00:41.63]Screaming into the sky, “The World is Mine!”
[00:44.20]I define defiance, represent rebellion
[00:46.75]Embody true autonomy, have been through hell
[00:49.37]And still do what I choose, been battered and bruised
[00:51.81]Yeah I’ve taken many beatings and gladly paid all my dues
[00:54.49]But I refuse to dummy down and follow the herd
[00:57.10]I’m gonna say what I believe and stand by my word
[00:59.69]See, I’ve never known the taste of a silver spoon
[01:02.20]Never took the blue pill, not to mention I’m immune
[01:04.96]Can’t be controlled, won’t do what I’m told
[01:07.46]I’m not a number, a name tag, or fit into a mold
[01:10.16]As my story unfolds I will proudly stand
[01:12.73]Forever unapologetically; I don’t give a damn
[01:15.41]This is WHO I AM (what I believe)
[01:18.07]This is WHO I AM (with every breath I breathe)
[01:20.75]WHO I AM (tried and true)
[01:23.35]The only thing to be in this world is you
[01:25.82]This is WHO I AM (what I believe)
[01:28.49]This is WHO I AM (with every breath I breathe)
[01:31.20]WHO I AM (tried and true)
[01:33.82]The only thing to be in this world is you
[01:38.43]
[01:46.40](VERSE 2)
[01:46.70]Substance, with every single syllable I bring
[01:49.30]‘cause you can talk all day long and never say a thing
[01:51.86]We don’t even need the music for me to convey I’m not playing
[01:54.50]I’ll write it out in Braille, you can feel what I’m saying
[01:57.24]THAT’S REAL
[01:57.98]No facade, I will never be part
[01:59.61]of propped up pop propaganda, fake art
[02:02.14]With no heart, no soul, I cannot be sold
[02:04.75]I’ll be the bright light in a dark mine that’s black as coal
[02:07.61]Whether I’m mocked, blocked or knocked – still I’ll never stop
[02:10.10]Like a rock, as consistent as hands on a clock
[02:12.65]You can bet I’m gonna be locked, loaded, ready for a test
[02:15.26]I don’t walk and talk, I DO better than the best.
[02:18.01]No vest on my chest, I’m not afraid to die
[02:20.37]I’ve been blessed, so I live every minute I’m alive
[02:23.21]And I take this vow; while I’m here above ground
[02:25.75]NEVER WILL I EVER BACK UP OR BOW DOWN
[02:28.54]This is WHO I AM (what I believe)
[02:31.04]This is WHO I AM (with every breath I breathe)
[02:33.69]WHO I AM (tried and true)
[02:36.42]The only thing to be in this world is you
[02:38.90]This is WHO I AM (what I believe)
[02:41.58]This is WHO I AM (with every breath I breathe)
[02:44.26]WHO I AM (tried and true)
[02:46.80]The only thing to be in this world is you
[02:51.38]
[02:59.34](Come on,Come on)
[03:00.04]When death comes to get me I’ve got no regrets
[03:02.13]I threw it all on the table when I placed my bet
[03:04.78]Said it all, did it all, and I’d do it again just so…
[03:10.46]SO THE WORLD WILL KNOW
[03:12.74]WHO I AM (what I believe)
[03:15.51]This is WHO I AM (with every breath I breathe)
[03:18.08]WHO I AM (tried and true)
[03:20.74]The only thing to be in this world is you
[03:23.19]This is WHO I AM (what I believe)
[03:25.98]This is WHO I AM (with every breath I breathe)
[03:28.60]WHO I AM (tried and true)
[03:31.28]The only thing to be in this world is (Come on)
[03:33.77]This is WHO I AM (what I believe)
[03:36.29]This is WHO I AM (with every breath I breathe)
[03:39.03]WHO I AM (tried and true)
[03:41.69]The only thing to be in this world is you
[03:44.20]This is WHO I AM (what I believe)
[03:46.82]This is WHO I AM (with every breath I breathe)
[03:49.54]WHO I AM (tried and true)
[03:52.07]The only thing to be in this world is
[03:54.35]The only thing to be in this world is
[03:56.82]The only thing to be in this world is you
[04:01.60]
