I Am Who I Am Lyrics

[Hook: Shamarr Allen]
I am who I am, ima do what I do
If you don't like me, then that's all on you
So go head and hate man, go head and hate man
I said go head and hate man, go head and hate man
Ima grind like I grind, ima shine like I shine
If you ain't gettin' yours that ain't no problem of mine
So go head and hate man, go head and hate man
I said go head and hate man, go head and hate man

[Verse 1: Dee-1]
Dee Uno, there you go with that new flow
Been where only a few go
Everyday got a new foe
Haters hate, but it's cool tho
Must've not never knew poor
Everyday got a new show
Grandma tellin' me, "Move slow"
Cause she know I don't sleep much
Back then used to not eat much
Now competitors eat dust
Callin' but they can't reach us
Still, they tryin' to beat us
But that don't bother me much
Married the grind, no prenup
So this could never be luck
I clean up then I be out
They tryna figure me out
The business be what Dee bout
I'm Nas mixed with Steve Stoute
Got a militant mind, so they try to limit my shine
But that could never happen cause I got an ignorant grind
-----------------
When I brainstorm, get a pancho
You hustlin' backwards, movin' left and horizontal
The streets keep tellin' me, "You better not change"
Look, I hit 'em back and say, "That ain't my aim"
[Hook: Shamarr Allen]
I am who I am, ima do what I do
If you don't like me, then that's all on you
So go head and hate man, go head and hate man
I said go head and hate man, go head and hate man
Ima grind like I grind, ima shine like I shine
If you ain't gettin' yours that ain't no problem of mine
So go head and hate man, go head and hate man
I said go head and hate man, go head and hate man

[Verse 2: Dee-1]
I went from last to first and did it with style
I'm from where choppas burst and semis go POW
I call a spade, a spade and a fraud, a fraud
Most folk ain't real, they fake
So my faith in God
I got some haters for sale if you tryna purchase
They depreciatin' to the point they basically worthless
But Dee 'preciate 'em cause you know they makin' me flourish
Why you mad? Cause yo girlfriend singin' me chorus?!
I'm a R-E-B-E-L
Richest jigga in the room, but no you couldn't even tell
Probably cause I drive a H-O-N-D-A and it ain't cold
Got a half a million miles, man my whip done went gold

I'm on the road, we on the road, another show, 3 in a row
My pen done got frostbite, my rhymes cold
That's how I'm livin' dawg, That's how I'm rockin' bruh
You stupid fool, you sold your soul to be popular
[Hook: Shamarr Allen]
I am who I am, ima do what I do
If you don't like me, then that's all on you
So go head and hate man, go head and hate man
I said go head and hate man, go head and hate man
Ima grind like I grind, ima shine like I shine
If you ain't gettin' yours that ain't no problem of mine
So go head and hate man, go head and hate man
I said go head and hate man, go head and hate man

[Outro: Dee-1]
And I don't know what homeboy doin'
But homie must be doin' something right
Cause he used to perform at them local open mics
Now he travelin' the world, different city every night
And I can't even lie, he still act the same
I know he gettin' change, but he ain't never change
He in his own lane, yeah homie doin' his thing

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
