Novel - I Am lyrics

rate me

I am, reverends' future black president.

I'm what you see rollin' every day through your resident

Windows tinted, young and relentless

To the cops, I'm a suspect that fits the description

But I am, not a hoodlum, I'm not an abuser

I'm sort of a connoisseur slash entrepreneur.

I've seen a lot of people grow, some went, some came

Rappers are next-generation shit but I am change.

At the age of 21 they said I'd be non-existent,

It's that, or pleading the trial or being convicted.

I guess since I'm alive then I beat the statistics

Y'all can all kiss my ass when I am rich.

I'm the sun, I'm light,

I'm much more than your bling or the shine off your ice

I'm as, free as a spirit, I'm as fly as a bird

I'm whatever I wanna be as long as I am heard

Cause I am...

I am I am I am

Eternal to the light I am I am

I'm a product of the ghetto, my father's boy,

A brother to my sister, my mother's pride and joy, I am

I am I am I am

The king of all knights I am I am

I'm the blade of the knife, that slaughtered the lamb

The greatest sacrifice, the son of Abraham

I am C-E-O, H-N-I-C

B-K-M-C, Talib Kweli

My name roll off the tongue like L-M-N-O-P

See I am at touch, you can I'm me.

I'm not nobody's toy, I'm not nobody's boy

I am someone's man, I am someone's joy

I am the voice, I am the truth

I am the choice, I am the proof.

Like my man from the D

Gon' stand on my feet

I am the branch, from the family tree

A baby to the leaves, carriers of the seeds

To carry on the name, to make a man complete.

De La Soul said I am a beat

I'm not a dream, I'm not a fantasy

Right here in the flesh,

I am out of this world, I am something else

I am something lived, I am something felt.
