Lyrics
I Am Who I Am
By: Stephanie D. Sanders
I Am Who I Am
I Am Who I Am
Chorus
I Am Who I Am
Ain't no changing me
Baby don't you see I can be who I wanna be
(repeat)
Verse
I'm in a sticky situation
I must uphold my reputation
That I will live my life for myself, and
Stop trying to please everyone else
With the things that I say and do
To myself I know I must be true
We're all so different but so unique
With stereotypes I wont compete, I
Chorus
I Am Who I Am
Ain't no changing me
Baby don't you see I can be who I wanna be
(repeat)
Verse
I've learned that I should just be
Not what others want me to be
Cause I've got to take care of myself, and
I won't depend on no one else, cause
No one will work for me like I do
Let me be me and you be you
Cause I can be who I wanna be
And God I allow you to use me
Chorus
I Am Who I Am
Ain't no changing me
Baby don't you see I can be who I wanna be
(repeat)
Bridge
Ain't no changing
Ain't no changing, no
Ain't no changing, no changing me (meee huuu)
(repeat)
No no no no no no
No no no no no no
No no no no no no
Oh oh oh oh
Aint no wont be no more
No more change
There wont be no more
No more change, me, huu
Ad libs
I've got everything I want
Everything I need
Everything I am, everything I should be's in me
(repeat)
