I Am

I use to look and learn 
Now I learn and look 
I realize I am a version 
Of an unopen book 
Page by page 
It keep turning 
The fire in my words keep burning 
I am who 
Let me explain
I am more than just a name 
I am the chain that breaks generational curses
The lyrics In unread verses 
I am the seed and the soil
I am the water that boils 
I am the cake that's been baked 
I am the solution to when there is a lot on my plate  
I am the tradition to a traditional setting 
I am the bet to the betting 
I am the sweat that keeps sweating 
For determination
To win  no matter how much I fall  I get back up again 
And again , and again 
I am the boat that soaks up all the tears after all these years 
I am the leg that stands 
I am the worshipping hands 
I am the circumstances 
I am greater 
I am the now and definitely the later 
I am the future 
To a futureless world 
I am a woman no longer a little girl 
I am the dream 
Most could only imagine 
I am a trainer the horses keep saddling 
Like we battling with how to start
A new thing 
Like self love ,love self 
Wealth , health , finances 
The Lord setting up advances
I am the water that flows so clear and calm 
I am so bomb 
I am so dope 
I'm the realest out here folks 
No jokes just facts 
I am the one to have your back 
Pick up the slack 
Lay it back down 
I am what you want around 
I am to 
The new version 
Of a unfinished song 
The lip balm 
The chosen one 
Not frozen one 
My heart is warm 
Ready to give and receive
Please let me make it clear 
I am the VOICE BEHIND THE PEN my dear 
I am the factor to the fear 
I am here 
I am still 
The dose of a pill
The one to keep it real
I am the sealed note 
That hasn't been open 
I. Am the token of spoken word 
I  am more than what you see I'm heard!!!
I am that word 
You'll see 
I am ME!!!!
