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 sham 

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 ace 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
