I Am What I Am

[Intro]

Mmm

Mmm

[Verse 1]

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, but I think it's pretty

And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle?

Why not try and see things from a different angle?

Your, your life is a sham

Until you can shout

I am what I, what I am

Mmm

Ooh, mmm

[Verse 2]

I am what I am

And what I am needs no excuses

And I know it's been hard

'Cause I've had my share of battles and bruises

It's my world that I want to have a little pride in

My world, and it's not a place I have to hide in

Life's not worth a damn

Until you can shout

I am what I, what I am

Ooh

[Outro]

I am what I am

I don't want praise, I don't want pity
