I Am Because I Am (feat. Brenboy)

I'm falling down, like dominos
You ask these questions like I should know
The validation speaks in truth
Lately it's talking back to my muse
I'm turning in circles, I'm breaking apart
I pulled out my feels and buried my heart
I stuck to the status, I'm over and through
These labels, these chain to hell with you

I am, because I am

I'm plugging down the archer chocks
You talk a lot but you say nothing at all
The approval challenge my youth, now in adulthood what have I scum to
I'm backtracking quickly, I'm playing the part
I erased emotion to expense of my heart
I tried to fit in now I'm over and through
These labels, these boxes, to hell with you

That's a long list of boxes, wanting me to mark it like Cuban.
Well, where the box at for me to check that says human?
That's what I am, that's who I am, and what I wanna be
Be you to the fullest if you do this for the cream
I'm an incense burning, high power learning
Chicano-Americano I'm constantly switching my verbiage
I welcome in a lane switch. Toda mi gente que I hang with
We speak in love languages and mixing it with Spanglish
But I know I know what you think of me
You judge a book by it's color but won't open it to read
Can't nobody, can't nobody push me around
They pray on my downfall, I stay with a crown
That's royalty
And amongst my group of friends, yo, my nick-name is loyalty
I wanna see my people succeed and make sequels
I go through life treating all people as my equal

I am, because I am
I am, because I am
I am, because I am
