I Am Says I Am

There's something that I'm feeling in my heart you know I can't be the person that I once was I mean, a part of me wants to stay But I know I can't I'm on a mission I am who I Am says I am When I can't I Am says I can This is my chance to do what I have to do The only thing that I can't do is lose cuz I am who I Am says I am When I can't I Am says I can I was hand picked from the bottom of the pit this is it This is why I exist I was meant for this This is more than music, more than recording vocal chords And auto-tuning, more than stepping inside the booth and going stupid This is for Jesus cuz for me He let them beat and abuse Him So for Him, I'ma take this beat and abuse it And I'ma praise His name, lifting up the King while I do it An intuitive student, deeply rooted is the truth I'm consuming So smooth when I swoop in the room, as soon as I move in I'm using the books of Matthew, Mark, John and Luke cuz they are the blueprint No more confusion, and I'm no longer stagnant Because I'm keeping it moving and I'm breaking the habits That I used to have in the past I had my face flat on the canvas I'm not out the woods yet, but at least I'm not camping In the same spot, chilling on the same block Getting the same cocked-eye look from the same cop, don't panic Cuz no matter what challenges I get from man I could manage So plan your worst attack first as I stand on earths granite I am who I Am says I am When I can't I Am says I can This is my chance to do what I have to do The only thing that I can't do is lose cuz I am who I Am says I am When I can't I Am says I can I was hand picked from the bottom of the pit this is it This is why I exist I was meant for this Sometimes I sit and wonder what is my purpose Is it worth it, or is everything that I'm doing's just worthless Writing these verses in cursive, I wonder when people heard it Did they feel blessed or allergic, turned it of and cursed it Man I'm burdened, cuz I want to reach every person that's hurting And tell them they don't have to reach for the burner or bourbon Instead they can seek discernment, release the serpent Put him under your feet, listen to what Jesus teaches and learn it Become a humble servant wipe the dirt off your shirt and emerge With a fire that's burning for Jesus like a furnace Read the Bible, He will guide you, every word is perfect On the surface it looks worse but deep inside you, you will flourish At times I get nervous, asking God why He's not working Time after time I cry to you why does my life seem deserted But then I'm encouraged, You're standing close to me I feel You holding me, whisper in my ear, I know who I'm supposed to be I am who I Am says I am When I can't I Am says I can This is my chance to do what I have to do The only thing that I can't do is lose cuz I am who I Am says I am When I can't I Am says I can I was hand picked from the bottom of the pit this is it This is why I exist I was meant for this I am who I Am says I am When I can't I Am says I can This is my chance to do what I have to do The only thing that I can't do is lose cuz I am who I Am says I am When I can't I Am says I can I was hand picked from the bottom of the pit this is it This is why I exist I was meant for this So you know, even though I'm not the same person I used to be before It's not a bad thing you know I'm just building myself a better me And I'm doing it with the best builder ever I Am
