I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook
Or the ovation
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn
'Til you can say
Hey world, i am what i am
I am what I am
I am what I am
I don't want praise I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise I think it's pretty
It's my song
But you don't like the style
I bring it
My song
It pays respect my right to sing it
Life is nothing but a chance 'til you can yell you loud
Hey world
I am what i am
