lyrics

[Chorus: Joelle]
Who am I (x4)

[Verse 1: TalentIsAlive]
Born in the sun, trying to find a way
Momma said "boy, go make a brighter day"
I could never fall by the wayside
That's why I take the time to walk the line, to work the grind
It hurts sometimes, I've been feeling like I'm stuck
I've been down on my luck
All I know is that I gotta get up, I can never give up
I'm a veteran, unh
What you know about me?
Hard to keep going when you're living off trust
Grew out of darkness as black as his skin
Funny, that same darkness made you shine from within
Hope you don't shine too soon, under full moon
You're in full bloom, young moonflower, it's a new hour
Show your full power, you're a grown man
So let em understand who you are when they ask

[Chorus: Joelle]
Who am I (x4)

[Verse 2: The Bizkid]
(hums)
I'm just a child of God
Hope that I could live a life that's worth a mild applause
They see me as a silhouette with a probable cause
I see me as another vet that's out defying the odds
I'm defining the odds
I went from survive to successin', from manic depression
To man with the blessing, demanding attention
Bodying bars with a vengeance
It's in my DNA
I'm only moving forward, man, I've got no time to stay
If this ain't history, I'm only getting better
You feel the beat? That's the heartbeat of my ancestors
Like that y'all, I'm a king on my own
I don't need another nobody to tell me what I know
You can call on T'Challa, I got God on the phone
To think that even for a sec I lost my seat to the throne
Come on

[Chorus: Joelle]
Who am I
(vocalizes)
