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 who I am, what I believe
This is who I am, with every breath I breathe
It's who I am, tried and true
The only thing to be in this world is you
This is who I am, what I believe
This is who I am, with every breath I breathe
It's who I am, tried and true
The only thing to be in this world is you
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 façade
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
This is who I am, what I believe
This is who I am, with every breath I breathe
It's who I am, tried and true
The only thing to be in this world is you
This is who I am, what I believe
This is who I am, with every breath I breathe
It's who I am, tried and true
'Cause the only thing to be in this world is you
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
Who I am, what I believe
This is who I am, with every breath I breathe
It's who I am, tried and true
The only thing to be in this world is you
This is who I am, what I believe
This is who I am, with every breath I breathe
It's who I am, tried and true
The only thing to be in this world is (come on)
This is who I am, what I believe
This is who I am, with every breath I breathe
It's who I am, tried and true
The only thing to be in this world is you
This is who I am, what I believe
This is who I am, with every breath I breathe
It's who I am, tried and true
The only thing to be in this world (Is what?)
Well, the only thing to be in this world is you (come on)
Everything you are in this world is you
