I Am What I Am

I am what I am Not for you to judge Regardless of what you say I'm proud to know I am what I am You may think your better And wanna put me down But in the end I'll stand up and say it proud I am what I am From the blue eyes and the blonde hair All the way to the Irish land I am what I am My ancestors are not all that I am Yes they play a part of me But they can never tell me who to be Cuz I am what I am I used to take it in Never sayin a word Taught to be polite Taught to ignore the feelings That were felt inside Taught to be like everyone around And never say whats on my mind But im sick and tired of bein plain old me I wanna be someone new I wanna be set free So I can stand up and say I'm different and unique And im proud of it to I'm here to stand up and shout I won't change for you Cuz I am what I am And that's the truth We went through many things But we had to overcome We couldn't show the pain and sorrow We had to look as though we were strong We couldn't break, we had to walk tall And couldn't risk the chance to let Someone see us fall Even though this is my past It will never be my future I have learned that it is ok to say I am what I am I will never be told different And if you don't like it That's up to you But just know that you can never change me For I am what I am
