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 
That I want to have a little pride 
My world 
And it's not a place I have to hide in 
Life's not worth a dam 
Till I can say 
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 sparkle and each bangle 
Why not see things from a different angle 
Your life is a shame 
Till you can shout out I am what I am 


I am what I am 
And what I am needs no excuses 
I deal my own deck 
Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces 
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit 
One life so it's time to open up your closet 
Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out 
I am what I am 

I am what I am 

I am what I am 
And what I am needs no excuses 
I deal my own deck sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces 
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit 
One life so it's time to open up your closet 
Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out 
I am what I am 

I am I am I am good 
I am I am I am strong 
I am I am I am worthy 
I am I am I belong 

I am 

I am 

Who whoooo etc. 
I am 

I am I am I am useful 
I am I am I am true 
I am I am somebody 
I am as good as you 

Yes I am
