Yeah, I was born me, So I'm a be me
Tryna be another man I really can't be
So I'm a do me, Yeah I'm a do me
And this ain't nothing made up, this is just me
So what I ain't smooth like that
Or cool like that
I'm not Soulja Boy, don't really want swag
I'm my own man, I am what I am
The realest nigga here, that's exactly who I am
I don't rap like Hov, or act like Hov
Guess what baby girl, I can't be Hov
I can only be the person that my Mother made
This is what it is, I ain't tryna be another way
I'm a say it loud, I'm proud to be my own self
When you see me now, I'm tryna build my own wealth
I done put it down, practically with no help
Going for that crown, do it for my own self
Cause I am who I am, I am what I am
You ain't got to love me but I am who I am
The game don't know what the streets understand
I'm not afraid to be just exactly who I am
Cause I am who I am, this is what you getting from me
I'm a stand out, cause all these niggas different from me
I'm a keep it real, what was you expecting from me
I don't do what Jay do, never get it twisted homie
I'm a hustle hard, do it all day
Try to tell 'em though, I can't be Kanye
I'm a soldier on deck if you want me
Got the truth in depth if you call me
I'm a visionary, fuck the penitentiary
Came up from a hood that's legendary
What you see is what you get, no imaginary
The first coming up from my self, never second guess me
Breakdown
I'm not like him
And when you here me
I don't sound like them
I ain't begging for acceptance, either you accept it
You ain't gotta love me, but you niggas going to respect it
Look into my soul, see a spirit of a true man
This if for my fans who love me just for who I am
This is who I am, the way God designed me
I does what I do, ain't as lyrical as Kweli
I don't study other niggas then and try to copy
I just stick to being me, it's true they can't stop me
