Who I Am

I get up and I get down

That's the rhythm of my battle drum

I get up and I get down

I'ma struggle till the day is done

I get up and I get down

That's the rhythm of my battle drum

I get up and I get down

I'ma struggle till the day is done

I get up and I get down

That's the rhythm of my battle drum

I get up and I get down

I'ma struggle till

Every voice tellin' me that I'm thinkin' wrong

Change your tune, change your chord, sing that other song

Little brother turned into an insecure man

Any type of criticism make me into lesser than

Never believed I could be right or be me

What is me? They just tell me what I'm supposed to be

Gotta be a brand, but I never really owned it for myself

Now I'm nebulous, I'm tired of it, this stress my mental health

See my chaos and I know I gotta speak into it

I see my apathy, I know I gotta battle ruthless

I know my father look at me and he is well pleased

The problem is that I ain't good enough for me

I know the best thing for me is You

I know the pain will show the truth

Maybe I am beautiful to You

I just want to be myself

I just want to be myself today

Wanna know just who I am

I need you to help me understand

Who I am is beloved

Who I am is more than what I've done

Who I am is worthy of some lovin'

Who I am has really just begun

Who I am is a treasure

Who I am is royalty in blood

Who I am is a warrior for the kingdom

Who I am has really just begun

Nobody will know that I'm speakin' of my sweat and blood

Only hear they talk of blessings comin' down above

When my praises go up, the blessing come down

But my blessing is to keep me low to the ground

The blessing is needing more love than I ever knew

The blessing is knowing there's nothing I can really do

The blessing is pain, adversity, my own addiction

'Cause if I didn't cry in need, then would I really listen?

The blessing is losing illusion of my control

The blessing is being betrayed and you bleed slow

The blessing is to feel the discipline of better love

There's better love than self love, lovin' from the One

The only one who can take all this craziness

The only Father good enough for all the fatherless

I know that my pain, it clarifies the truth

That maybe I am beautiful to You

I just want to be myself

I just want to be myself today

Wanna know just who I am

I need You to help me understand

Who I am is beloved

Who I am is more than what I've done

Who I am is worthy of some lovin'

Who I am has really just begun

Who I am is a treasure

Who I am is royalty in blood

Who I am is a warrior for the kingdom

Who I am has really just begun, yeah

Who I am has really just begun, ay

Who I am has really just begun, yeah
