Am What I Am Feat. Poppy & Slim Thug
Lyricist:Calvin Earl Avent, Todd Berry
This is ghetto reality in Texas
You see I am what I am, and it is what it is You'd feel how I feel, if you been where I been Live what I live, see what I see So get out my ear, and just let me be
You see I am what I am, and it is what it is You'd feel how I feel, if you been where I been Live what I live, see what I see So get out my ear, and just let me be
I'm a survivor of the struggle, I lived life hard Single mama with half a job, I was raised by God No dad, the only role model I had Was a ounce of that white powder, in a zip lock bag I don't brag about the struggles, I endured as a child So you don't know the pain I went through, to create this smile I got one life to live, know I'm tal'n 'bout So I enjoy it, 'cause I earned everything that I got
They hate what I got, I hear 'em with they cape talk They thinkin' that my life, was a cake walk I'm a man of principles, I live by my word So it's obsurred, when I hear sour words They gon' get what they deserve, but I don't wish no harm What goes around comes around, so partna you been warned In the midst of all the trouble, I still remain calm 'Cause sunny days, will follow the storm man, just let me be
You see I am what I am, and it is what it is You'd feel how I feel, if you been where I been Live what I live, see what I see So get out my ear, and just let me be
You see I am what I am, and it is what it is You'd feel how I feel, if you been where I been Live what I live, see what I see So get out my ear, and just let me be
Somebody questioned, if I got the right to recite what I spit 'Cause I've never been indicted, or divided a brick But my life is grit, all types of crisis and shit I decided to risk it all, to try to slide in the mix And get what I can get, see I'm fightin' negative bars I knew it wouldn't be easy, but no one said, 'It be hard' As it is, I mean the evil in the heart of these men Got me wonderin', if I'll ever see the reward Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
At the end of the road, it's kind of hard to remember your goals When you grow where, not many live to get old I played the cards that I was given, and never listen to those Who think different, 'cause they inner soul is bitter and cold I seen death, and folk get destroyed by do' Nevertheless I'm blessed, so your boy got hope I show love, to get it is a beautiful feelin' If you hate me, then blow a dick 'cause it's a mutual feelin'
You see I am what I am, and it is what it is You'd feel how I feel, if you been where I been Live what I live, see what I see So get out my ear, and just let me be
You see I am what I am, and it is what it is You'd feel how I feel, if you been where I been Live what I live, see what I see So get out my ear, and just let me be
All outsiders lookin' in, think they know where I been Tryin' to be my friend, 'cause of the position I'm in They know slim thug a hustler, that's destined to win So I guess they figured, they can hold my co tail in But I ain't the type to play that roll, and sell a nigga gold Pretend it's all cool, when I know you a hoe 'Cause you'll do it again, if you done it befo' It's just a matter of time, 'fore you do it some mo'
I done witnessed all type, of snake niggaz and hoes From my family to my friends, to these bitches I know It'll surprise you, how much a lil' change bring change You get a couple dollas, and people ain't the same They quick to holla at you cappin' now, since you rappin' now See them the type of folks, you need to be packin' 'round 'Cause first time to miss 'em, when you passin' a blunt They plottin' up on you, tryin' to pull 'em a stunt
You see I am what I am, and it is what it is You'd feel how I feel, if you been where I been Live what I live, see what I see So get out my ear, and just let me be
You see I am what I am, and it is what it is You'd feel how I feel, if you been where I been Live what I live, see what I see So get out my ear, and just let me be
