I am what I am, I am my own special creation
So come take a look, give me the hook or the ovation
It's my world, I want to have a little pride in
My world, it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn 'til you can say
Hey world, I am what I am
I am what I am, I don't want praise, I don't want pity
I bang my own drum, some think it's noise, I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each feather and each spangle
Why not try and see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham 'til you can shout out loud
I am what I am
I am what I am, I don't want praise, I don't want pity
I bang my own drum, some think it's noise, I think it's pretty
It's my song if you don't like the style I'm bringing
It's my song, so at least respect my right to sing it
Your life is a sham
I am what I am and what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck, sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces
There's one life, there's no return and no deposit
One life, it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn
I am what I am and what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces
It's high time that I blow my horn, I sound my trumpet
It's high time and if you don't like it you can lump it
Life's not worth a damn
It's our song, if you don't like the style we're bringing
It's our song, so please respect our right to sing it
Your life is a sham, your life is a sham
