Lyrics

I AM

Look at me
Really look at me

You Don't Know me
yet you judge me

You look at the color of my skin
and assume all the wrong things

You would rather listen to the noise

You call me names
without any proof of your claims

this says more about you
Then it says anything about me

You fan the flames of hate
Hoping I'd bow down and assume my fate

Your words are hollow
I refuse to be afraid of my own shadow

Let me tell you who I am

I Am a Black woman
Born Free
And you can't take, you can't take that away from me

I won't be told what and who I am supposed to be

I won't give in to your fears
Nor, will I give you any of my tears

I Am, I Am, I Am

I Am Love
I Am Truth
I am everything that I am meant to be

I AM
I AM
I AM
I AM
I AM
I AM

I AM
I AM
I AM

I Am, I just Am

I Am, I just Am

I Am
