I Am What I Am

I am what I am

I am my own special creation

So come take a look

Give me the hook or the ovationIt's my world

That I want to have a little pride in

My world

And it's not a place I have to hide inLife's not worth a dam till I can say

I am what I amI 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 prettyAnd so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle

Why not see things from a different angle

Your life is a shame

Till you can shout out I am what I amI am what I am

And what I am needs no excuses

I deal my own deck

Sometimes the aces sometimes the deucesIt'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 till you can shout out

I am what I amI am what I amI am what I am

And what I am needs no excuses

I deal my own deck sometimes

The aces sometimes the deucesIt'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 dam till you can shout out

I am what I amI am, I am, I am good

I am, I am, I am strong

I am, I am, I am worthy

I am, I am, I belongI am, I am

Whoo, whoo, whoo

I amI am, I am, I am useful

I am, I am, I am true

I am, I am, somebody

I am as good as youYes, I am
