[Intro]MmmMmm[Verse 1]I am what I amI don't want praise, I don't want pityI bang my own drumSome think it's noise, but I think it's prettyAnd 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 shamUntil you can shoutI am what I, what I amMmmOoh, mmm[Verse 2]I am what I amAnd what I am needs no excusesAnd I know it's been hard'Cause I've had my share of battles and bruisesIt's my world that I want to have a little pride inMy world, and it's not a place I have to hide inLife's not worth a damnUntil you can shoutI am what I, what I amOoh[Outro]I am what I amI don't want praise, I don't want pity
