I Am Who I Am

Lyrics

[Verse 1: J1Hunnit] This shit, I am who I am, nigga, and I know that I ain't livin' right I'm from that ways, I really seen my auntie hug a pipe She went to prison, she got caught with a three-five of white She droppin' Dollar General, the clerk that help that's so uptight Before the cancer killed her, she had roped me once or twice She was like, "Nephew, boy, I love you, and I'ma be alright" Her and her sister used to always fuss and fight But when she died, my granny balled up and cried every night Too busy tryna sell pounds, you niggas chose the pipe Look at how them niggas died tryna follow hype I got lost up in the dark tryna follow light You know how many times somebody said my future bright? Shit, you probably couldn't tell I ain't believe in myself I ain't think my talent ever could earn me the wealth I seen so many niggas pass, I'm concerned with my health I was overthinkin' crazy, I needed they help Nigga, I am who I am Shit, I wanna buy the Benz so I'm stuffin' this Ram I've been tryna move on, but I'm movin' these grams Sticks and stones break bones, but that's only for hams I still think about Lil Mike and the day that he died Filled the trunk up with DRich, we was ready to ride He never answered, so I told bro to pull to the side I ain't even know that be the moment him meet his demise Lil' one call like what's the word? We ready to slide The laws already got him, please tell me one Hope somebody poke his ass and don't stop 'til they tired I ain't wanna leave that shit alone, but I swallowed my pride Nigga, I am who I am Give my chains to my mom if I ever get blamped But I'ma go of old age takin' care of my fam' We manifest the happy life tryna heal our damage [Chorus: J1Hunnit & Joe Blow] I am who I am (This my life) I am who I am (Shit I've been through) I am who I am (Made me a gangster, nigga) I am who I am I am who I am (Walk) Nigga, I am who I am (True story) I am who I am (Swear to God) Nigga, I am who I am [Verse 2: Joe Blow] I am who I am, so it is what it is Throw some soda on this yola, and it did what it did Was hard for moms to raise me, she just a kid with a kid I'm out here livin' for a purpose, I ain't just livin' to live Threw the bitch a lil' vacant, now I'm reelin' her in I told my girl we break her heart, but I just did it again A lil' girl want a car, so I flipped her a Benz They say the good die young, so I've been livin' in sin Rubbed the coke up on her gum, she said, "I give it a ten" I gave a hundred ten percent, the game was killin' my friends Auntie feelin' sharp pains, they just sit in her ribs She said this liver cancer changed up her livin' and slammed Sometimes I question God like why I'm livin' again? Cuz got double life like he gon' be livin' again I done burnt a couple bridges, but I learned how to swim And live be puttin' pressure on me, but I turned out a gem
