Jussie Smollett
I Am Who I Am
[Verse 1]
I'm so lost in this fog of this mirror
I'm in between two places and now I'm struggling
Said it's so, so hard for me to do in the middle of wrong
I know I must stay strong
[Verse 2]
This is crazy
How in the world did this happen?
Feel like I'm calling this habit
'Cause I'm stuck between wrong and doing right
Tryna co-work how I feel
Confusing myself, what was real?
I get twisted just to make through the night
Standing in the middle of all this corruption
I'm gon' be one to make the difference
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm stronger than the Lyon in my blood
You know, I know
[Chorus]
I'm never gonna be, never like you
Never gonna do things that you do
Never gonna be out of control
Losing my soul just to say I love you more
I'm never gonna be, never like you
Never gonna do things that you do
Never gonna be out of control
Losing my soul just to say I love you more
Oh, no, nothing like my father
Oh, no, nothing like my mother
Oh, no, nothing like my brothers
I'm not them, I am who I am
Oh, no, nothing like my father
Oh, no, nothing like my mother
Oh, no, nothing like my brothers
I'm not them, I am who I am
[Verse 3]
You call this family?
When we don't listen to each other
And we don't respect one another
This is chaos and I don't understand
How if you say you love me
You can put so much above me
Still you use me
Just to build our family's name
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm stronger than the Lyon in my blood
You know, I know
[Chorus]
I'm never gonna be, never like you
Never gonna do things that you do
Never gonna be out of control
Losing my soul just to say I love you more
I'm never gonna be, never like you
Never gonna do things that you do
Never gonna be out of control
Losing my soul just to say I love you more
Oh, no, nothing like my father
Oh, no, nothing like my mother
Oh, no, nothing like my brothers
I'm not them, I am who I am
Oh, no, nothing like my father
Oh, no, nothing like my mother
Oh, no, nothing like my brothers
I'm not them, I am who I am
That's who I am
