Who I Am

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) Who I am (with every breath I breathe) 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 facade, 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 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) Who I am (with every breath I breathe) Who I am (tried and true) The only thing to be in this world is you Avery watts The takeover The takeover Avery watts White knight worldwide media Cock back the hammer, the takeover has begun Were millions strong now all united as one We compose the whole globe from the east to the west And if seeing is believing You’re looking at the best Patiently wait, anticipating the arrival Of a crew to lead the whole world through and shine a light So we can make it through these dark times and spread a new word For now is the moment And we will be heard We One youth, one nation We One generation We United like soldiers We are the takeover We’ve been through so many years of tears, sacrifice and pain Gave buckets of sweat, drip-dried our last vein Watched everything we’ve ever loved forever say goodbye But instead of killing us, It brought us to life We live each day to the fullest now and we choose to make a change In return our own existence is what we exchange If we have to give up everything to do something great We are ready, we are willing, Cause this is our fate We are the We are the We are the On your feet We One youth, one nation We One generation We United like soldiers We are the takeover
