I Am What I Am

Intro

Sorry — I can't write in the exact style of those songs, but here's an original track inspired by their bold, confident energy.

(ah)

Verse

Step in, lights hit, I move like I own it

Quiet in the room but my name's on the scoreboard (yeah)

Heartbeat steady, but the grin says defiant

Mirror can't catch what I'm ready to show

Pre-chorus

Tied-up doubts, I'll untie 'em (untie, untie)

Turn my whisper into riot (shout it, shout it)

Every scar is a medal now, I wear it loud

No alarm, just a crown (oh)

Chorus

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am, I am)

Say it like thunder, say it like a plan (oh-oh)

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am, I am)

Watch me carve the sky with both of my hands (yeah)

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am, I am)

Call it out, call it out, call it out again (call it out)

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am)

Na-na-na, na-na, na-na (hey, hey)

Verse

Velvet steps on a pavement of thunder

Smile like a secret that started a rumor (uh-huh)

Every step writes a headline in motion

No apology, just the echo of power

Pre-chorus

Locked-in eyes, I'm the answer (answer, answer)

Turn the doubt into banners (raise 'em, raise 'em)

All the pieces fit where I place them now

No rewind, just the now (ayy)

Chorus

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am, I am)

Say it like thunder, say it like a plan (oh-oh)

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am, I am)

Watch me carve the sky with both of my hands (yeah)

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am, I am)

Call it out, call it out, call it out again (call it out)

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am)

Na-na-na, na-na, na-na (hey, hey)

Bridge

Break the hush with a riot (riot), feel the chrome and the velvet

Flip the script like a comet (comet), leave a trail, don't forget it

Hands high, we ignite it (ignite), echo loud through the orbit

Say my name, say my name — own it, own it

(own it, own it)

Chorus

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am, I am)

Say it like thunder, say it like a plan (oh-oh)

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am, I am)

Watch me carve the sky with both of my hands (yeah)

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am, I am)

Call it out, call it out, call it out again (call it out)

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am)

Na-na-na, na-na, na-na (hey, hey)

Chorus

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am, I am)

Say it like thunder, say it like a plan (oh-oh)

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am, I am)

Watch me carve the sky with both of my hands (yeah)

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am, I am)

Call it out, call it out, call it out again (call it out)

I am what I am, I am what I am (I am)

Na-na-na, na-na, na-na (hey, hey)

Outro

(oh) I am, I am — go on, say it (say it)

(yeah) I am, I am — let it ring (let it ring)

(na-na) I am, I am — forever sing (sing)
