I Am What I Am

I am what I am
 I am my own special creation
 So come take a look
 Give me the hook
 Or the ovation
 It's my world
 That I want to have a little pride
 My world
 And it's not a place I have to hide in
 Life's not worth a dam
 Till I can say
 I am what I am
 I am what I am
 I don't want praise I don't want pity
 I bang my own drum
 Some think it's noise I think it's pretty
 And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
 Why not see things from a different angle
 Your life is a shame
 Till you can shout out I am what I am
 I am what I am
 And what I am needs no excuses
 I deal my own deck
 Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
 It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
 One life so it's time to open up your closet
 Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out
 I am what I am
 I am what I am
 I am what I am
 And what I am needs no excuses
 I deal my own deck sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
 It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
 One life so it's time to open up your closet
 Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out
 I am what I am
 I am I am I am good
 I am I am I am strong
 I am I am I am worthy
 I am I am I belong
 I am I am
 Who I am
 I am I am I am useful
 I am I am I am true
 I am I am somebody
 I am as good as you
 Yes I am
