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
