## Transcript

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 in My world And it's not a place I have to hide in Life's not worth the damn Till you can say Hey world, I am what I am I am what I am I don want praise I don want pity I bang my own drum Some think it noise I think it pretty And so what If I love each feather and each spangle Why not try to see things from a different angle Your life is a sham Till you can shout out loud I am what I am. I am what I am. And what I am needs no excuses. I steal my own deck. Sometimes the ace. Sometimes the deuces. There's one life And there's no return and no deposit One life So it's time to open up your closet Right under the jam Till you can say Hey world, I am B pics
