Who I Am Lyrics - Singles - Avery Watts

(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 class; Top Brass, 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 death 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
