I've spent years on the scene and I've done my time I was never given anything, I've earned what's mine I defy all lines, I will not retreat You can't 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 I've taken many beatings and gladly paid all my dues But I refuse to dummy down and follow the herd I'm gonna say what I believe and stand by my word See, I've never known the taste of a silver spoon Never took the blue pill, not to mention I'm immune
Can't be controlled, won't do what I'm told I'm not a number, a name tag, or fit into a mold As my story unfolds I will proudly stand Forever unapologetically; I don't 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 don't even need the music for me to convey I'm not playing I'll write it out in Braille, you can feel what I'm saying THAT'S REAL
No facade, I will never be part of propped up pop propaganda, fake art With no heart, no soul, I cannot be sold I'll be the bright light in a dark mine that's black as coal Whether I'm mocked, blocked or knocked – still I'll never stop Like a rock, as consistent as hands on a clock You can bet I'm gonna be locked, loaded, ready for a test I don't walk and talk, I DO better than the best. No vest on my chest, I'm not afraid to die I've been blessed, so I live every minute I'm alive And I take this vow; while I'm here above ground NEVER WILL I EVER BACK UP OR BOW DOWN
(BRIDGE) When death comes to get me I've got no regrets I threw it all on the table when I placed my bet Said it all, did it all, and I'd do it again just so... SO THE WORLD WILL KNOW
