I am the mountain
I am the plain
I am wind
I am rain
I am the planting
And I am the grain
Who am I?
I am the river
I am the sea
I am you
You are me
I am the _ (grass? flower?)
And I am the tree
Who am I?
Who am I?
I am the sun, the moon, the stars,
The planets, Jupiter and Mars
I am the north, south, east and west
Do you know who I am?
Have you guessed?
I am the winter
I am the spring
A summer flower opening
Autumn leaves
A bird on the wing
Who am I?
Who am I?
I am the children
Every boy and girl
Do you know who I am?
Can you tell?
I am the WORLD!
(1950) Leonard Bernstein
Who am I
Who am I
Was it all planned in advance
Or was I just born by chance in July
Who on earth am I
My friends only think of fun
They're such a curious a lot
Must I be the only one
Who thinks these mysterious thoughts
Some day I'll die
Will I ever live again
As a mountain lion
Or a rooster, a hen
Or a robin, or a wren, or a fly
Oh, who am I
Do you believe in reincarnation
Do you believe in reincarnation
Were you ever here before
Have you ever had dreams
That you knew were true
Some time before in your life
Have you ever had that experience
So you must question
All the truths that you know
All the love and the life
That you know and say
Who am I
Will I ever live again
As a mountain lion
Or a rooster, a hen
Or a robin, or a wren, or a fly
If I'm one of those lives
That have been reincarnated again
And again, and again
Oh, who am I
Yo I could strike physically or mentally or
I exist in you, I'm wit' you get your sense of the call
I have no sense of humor, I vent, you must
Stay the fuck out of my way, I'm too much
I'm the first to let you know if something is real, I come
Right before the comforter squeal, I'm something you feel
Go ahead try to fight with me nigga do the best that you do
I could be hard, I could be soft I'll even let you choose
I exist upon the impact of a flying fist
Always show up unannounced on you nigga, I'm kinda sick
What that nigga shoot that gun at me for, you still alive
I'm a riot not numb anymore nigga now die
I command fear, so be afraid, be very afraid
You get carried away, then I'm a see you
Nigga you better keep the heater with you
I'm waiting for you dog
Cause theres somebody that wanna see me with you
Keep an attitude, I'm evil
Spiteful, stay mad at you motherfuckin' practical people
Trust the one you love and I'm a make you cry
You even try to fight drugs and I'm a take its side
The only thing that stronger than me is time, and yours is limited
And I'm involved in it 'til you all finished
I despise you, thats why I surprise you
Even if your mother dies I'm a fuckin' remind you
I want you walking in front of a truck or a car
Cause I hangs out at these hospitals like a club or a bar
If you afraid; be, cause I'm so hard
Only one who can stop me is your God that made me
So, he is your witness, I am your sickness
I got every human being alive on my hitlist
I'm still in your way, I'm still under your skin
You don't want me but you would give me away? Then fuck you
Niggas better know than I'm something they'll never know
All you'll ever know is that hurt his name
Nigga I'm pain (Pain; I'm comin' for you)
You know that I will hurt you (I'm comin' for you)
You know I'll rise to hurt you (I'm comin' for you)
And you know I'll be back soon
Nigga I'm pain (Pain)
Yeah, I hope you like the name (I'm comin' for you)
No need to fight the pain (He will be comin' for you)
Cause he will strike a-gain
Im Pain
I'ts gotta hurt Its gotta hurt
Its gotta hurt (Pain)
I know, Its gotta hurt
WHO AM I
Who am I to understand
The ways of love a grain of sand
To fall between these fingers
That I hold
Who am I that you should trust
A wind that turns a stone to dust
A mountain to surrender all its gold
And who am I to say, you should believe in me
And who am I to say I love you
One reason why love cannot die
Tell me who am I
(DOUBLE VOICE)
Who am I, I never knew
My heart was roaming from or to
(I don't know where we are going to)
The different arms between my day and night
(All I want is just to be with you)
Who am I, a distant sun
A thought before the moment's gone
(Just a thought before the moment's gone)
And I will never let you from my side
(You will always be the only one)
And all I have to say you can believe in me
For who am I to say I love you
One reason why love cannot die
You are on my heart remembers
Tell me who am I
And who am I to say I love you
One reason why love can not die
Tell me who am I
For who am I to say I love you
One reason why love cannot die
You are on my heart remembers
Tell me who
What would it take for you to believe, in me
And what would it be like, if you were living, all your
dreams
Why would you care if I, told you to live, but others want you
to die
Who am I, to tell you something that you already know
Who am I, to tell you to hold on when you wanna let go
Who am I, I'm just a sicko with a song in my head
And it keeps playing again, and again, and again, and again
How would it sound, if I told you to leave, me
How would it feel, if I gave it all up, to be free
I just don't like to be here, a situation where you listen to me
Man, I'm so high, I forget the words to my favorite song
I've been smoking so long, what are you waiting for, just sing along
Why you looking at me?! I'm just like you, singing my favorite song
Well, What you want it to be? Don't let me break you off, sing along
What would it be like, if we were all, you need
A chance to change your life, while taking a break, from your reality
Why would you dare to try
Darkchild, Big Will, 2000
Bust out, shake it up now
Come on, come on
Shake it up now
Who am I?
You know, you know
Big Will, ya ready?
Come on
(Will Smith)
When I was a lad I used to dream that (one day)
I'd earned the cream that
Make the rocks gleam Phat rhymes to make it seem that
I was like Bill Gates
Writing lies, seal fates
Power to change the whole set
Force foes to forfeit
Then with the wicked sense on how to get the picket fence
Envisioned a hot life, hot wife
Wanted a crib, well a palace like South Fork on Dallas
With lights in my trees for the ambience
I been up and down and high and low
Fly with dough, broke looking grimy yo
My shiny glow definitely ain't cause of my Bentley
It's something that my fam put in me
Who am I? You ask
The guy with the razzamatazz with ten duffel bags packed with pazazz
In the past cut twice by the ladies of my life (And the wounds)
Stitched up by my wife
Who am I?
It's suffice to say found gold in my heart
Put the ice away
Nicer day, live foul homie it's a price to pay
Even when it's rainy still I say it's nice to day
Who am I?
That brother with the platinum plaque
With the strength to stand and say gangsta rap was whack
The fact is that whenever I rap or act
Pole position, front of the pack
Who am I?
(Tatyana Ali)
I be fully educated
Not the one to play with
And I find that some of y'all hate it
But you wanna know baby
Who am I?
I be fully educated
Not the one to play with
And I find that some of y'all hate it
But you wanna know baby
Who am I?
Baby if you really wanna know about me (about me)
I'll tell you who I am I'll tell you I be (I be)
Not the one for games
But if you're right with me (Oh Yeah)
I know I'll do the same
I be fully educated
Not the one to play with
And I find that some of y'all hate it
But you wanna know baby
Who am I?
I be fully educated
Not the one to play with
And I find that some of y'all hate it
But you wanna know baby
Who am I?
(L-Y-T-E)
(MC Lyte)
Who am I?
You dare to ask
The same female that hailed from Brooklyn and wailed on that ass
I'm your worst nightmare, you're best wet dream
Break the bank papi cause we coming for the cream
And while I'm in the world ain't none of y'all safe (not one)
Hold paps, sell a million and you still won't equate
So who am I? It ain't hard to tell
Like staying on track cause you thinking I fell
See a lot know my face but a few know me well
Just who I am is the one to make you gel
Who am I? The chick that keeps spittin'
Taking back all my snip that was bitten
Rewritten dangerous laison
With the shades on
Making sure the track stays on
Days on end I be that one true friend
That will always be around when the world falls down
I'm honest to the bone
No question, suggest
You don't wanna know
I give the truth, nothing less than
I'm sweet with a heart to fit
Smart as a whip
You feed me well but I'm still hard to get
I'm like a calculus problem you just can't solve
Study me well if you wanna get involved
And even after that I'm still unpredictable
Now who am I? I'm unforgettable
(Tatyana Ali)
I be fully educated
Not the one to play with
And I find that some of y'all hate it (you might hate it)
But you wanna know baby
Who am I?
I be fully educated (yes I am)
Not the one to play with (No No)
And I find that some of y'all hate it (who am I)
But you wanna know baby
Who am I? (who I am)
(Tatyana Ali, L-Y-T-E, Big Will for the Will 2k, one time no doubt)
I be fully educated
Not the one to play with
And I find that some of y'all hate it
But you wanna know baby
Who am I?
I be fully educated
Not the one to play with
And I find that some of y'all hate it
But you wanna know baby
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
I'm afloat in the ocean trying not to sink
I'm a crack in the asphalt you walk by on the street
I'm a falling star you'll never see
The lash in your eye the I in team
So Who am I?
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
I'm the lesson you'll never learn
The sickness that was never your concern
I'm the big suprise at the end of the night
The bridge in the gap
The corner of your mind
So Who am I?
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(you dont know, you dont dont, you never know)
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(you dont know, you dont dont, you never know)
I'm holding on
Yes I am
Careful what I wish for
I am the knot in your stomach
The phlegm in your throat
The message saying you're not home
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(you dont know, you dont dont, you never know)
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(you dont know, you dont dont, you never know)

I've tried to wrap my mind around the thought of you
I stretched myself so far I nearly come unglued
You hold the universe inside your hands
Still you thought of me
I can't believe
Is there no limit to your love for me
As shallow as this selfish heart can be
You are the maker of reality
And I stand in awe
You are God
Chorus
Who am I
To understand your ways
Who am I
To give you anything but praise
Who am I
To try and solve the mystery
Behind the heart and soul of all that I believe
Who am I
You're every reason for my heart to hope
Creator of the things I've yet to know
You are the river for my thirsty soul
You are my desire
You are God
Chorus
I am your child
I will follow, who am I?
You gave your life
For my tomorrow
Chorus
Lying idle in my room, telling my thoughts to the moon:
Why do I always feel so unimportant?
To other egos my mind clings and inside these voices ring
That I'm just a carbon copy of everyone else
And now I'm searching out my own identity
Something down inside telling me that I'm like no one else but me
But as of yet I still don't know
Who is this guy that I am and for his life what does he have to show? Who am I?
What am I for?
I wait for answers from the sky, the only audience I find
But no comfort finds my ears just silent mocking
And I know I was created but I just can't figure out why
And now I'm searching out my own identity
Something down inside telling me that I'm like no one else but me
But as of yet I still don't know
Who is this guy that I am and for his life what does he have to show? Who am I?
What am I for?
Still searching. Who am I? Some answers I don't ever find
I just want to know I have a place
Come from and return to dust, but I don't want to feel that useless
I want to see something in me that is unique. I just want to know. Who am I?
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Yes yes yes yes yes yes
It's me again baby, Timbaland

Who Am I?
D.R.I.
Who Am I?
Three Simple Words
Who Am I?
A Human Being
Who Am I?
This Weird Thing
Who Am I?
There must have been some realignment
Between the sun and the stars
That changed my fate the day you changed my life
I was destined to be nobody special
Til you saw somebody in me
And made me believe that I could be that lucky guy
Still it's hard to understand
How I became the man that I am
But who am I to be loved by you
The way that I am, the way that you do
I don't deserve a love this true
Who am I to be loved by you
You could be waltzing in Paris
Or sipping champagne on some yacht
But here you are in my arms tonight
It’s more than my heart can fathom
That this is where you choose to be
The rest of your life and the rest of your love is mine
You say you have no doubts
Me, I’m still trying to figure it out
But who am I to be loved by you
The way that I am, the way that you do
I don’t deserve a love this true
Who am I to be loved by you
I was born in the shadows
Under the Iberian sun
I was the dawn of the valley
Under the Iberian sun
I once was a sinner
But who was not?
I really liked to rumble and hustle a lot
But where is the key monster
He is not here
I am just a gatekeeper
Now so sincere
Now so sincere
Now so sincere
Who am I
What is the purpose
Who am I
And where do I flee?
Who am I
I’d like to remember
Who am I
And who do I want to be
Who do I want to be
Who am I
and who do I want to be
I went down to the river
Trying to find peace in my mind
In the throw
I saw you glimmer
The desire for you made me blind
I first saw you at the distance
When the moon’s at its height
I came to get to know you
A disclosure so bright
I knew, in my heart
When your flair made me swoon
I am just a prisoner
In search of my tune
Who am I
What is the purpose
Who am I
From where do I flee?
Who am I
I’d like to remember
Who am I
quot;I was born.. quot;
[Big Daddy Kane]
A black man from the motherland
Speakin a language today most people don't understand
where no one could bother me
cause I had freedom, justice, and equality
But then one day it was tooken away
and I was shipped to the U.S.A.
A young brother, made into a slave
to harvest the midlands and clean the chittlins
Given a new name, new religion
No freedom to vote, not even to make a decision
I saw my peoples, sold raped and took out
The rest of that stuff that Alex Haley talks about
They said I'm not from Asia I'm from Africa
And all the blacks there now are just scavengers
That's the way my mind was poisoned
to believe that in America blacks are inferior
A weak mind and a body of swine
only adds up to being - deaf dumb and blind
Illiterate to who where what and why
So I ask myself: who am I
quot;I was born.. quot;
[Big Daddy Kane]
A native New Yorker on the streets
Known for rockin rhymes to real rough beats
that I found in the attic, noisy with static
A sound that made me, a hip-hop fanatic
I made a few songs that sold OK
Never top 20 or plenty airplay
I came out hardcore, flexin cock diesel
Saw a little cash, and pop goes the weasel
I had to make that change and rearrange
my whole rap format, no hardcore rap
So now all the pop charts I rule
over New Kids on the Block and Paula Abdul, huh
I thought I made it, then my song faded
and none of the black stations ever have played it
I tried to blame it on MTV
and say, quot;Damn, they cold played me for Young MC quot;
But when you get down to it, I'm the real blame
because I wanted the fame
Money is not only the root of all evil
It's also the destruction of black people, so
conjunction junction, what's your function
Bein a scout, or sellin out
Look in the mirror at yourself, eye to eye
and say: who am I
[Gamilah Shabazz]
A solid change, have to rearrange this strange
feelin I'm feelin, so appealin
I am having to deal with
Time to forget the myth, of bein black and a woman
Can't get ahead, walkin on a thread, a tightrope
Can't cope, don't be a dope, have a little bit of hope
Runnin your scope on affairs
You have to be aware, don't flare up
Let your cup runneth over
I'm not Irish, don't need a donut to fill up my dish
nor two mango wish to wish on a star, they're so far
Anyway I'm thinkin about today, not tomorrow
I'm not a follower of anyone
My time has come, it's already here
My message is clear
Like the women of long ago, I am also here
also to show, I have the courage
Have the strength, I'm for equal opportunity
no matter the life, length of time
Show me a sign, should I rely on a
subliminal message, should I question
what would seem to be, life's told me
Yes indeed, so let me speak
[Big Daddy Kane]
And that's comin from the daughter of Malcolm X
So black women put it in your texts
so you can never let, opportunity pass you by
or even ask yourself, who am I
The buildings reach up to the sky
The traffic thunders on the busy street
Pavement slips beneath my feet
I walk alone and wonder, who am I?
I close my eyes then I can fly
And I escape from all this worldly strife
Restricted by routine of life
But still I can't discover, who am I?
I long to wake up in the morning
And find everything has changed
And all the people that I meet don't wear a frown
But every day is just the same
I'm chasing rainbows in the rain
All the dreams that I believe in let me down
Maybe I'm reaching far too high
For I have something else entirely free
With love of someone close to me
Unfettered by the world that hurries by
Um, to question such good fortune, who am I?
I long to wake up in the morning
And find everything has changed
And all the people that I meet don't wear a frown
But every day is just the same
I'm chasing rainbows in the rain
All the dreams that I believe in let me down
Maybe I'm reaching far too high
For I have something else entirely free
The love of someone close to me
Unfettered by the world that hurries by
Another starry night is above us
For the last ten thousand years it's been the same
In a moment's notice
not a stone unturned that someone didn't claim
who am I to be here, who am I to know
All the streets are sinking
cause the world goes half the speed of what it takes
and the wires lead somewhere
sending signals to our homes in outer space
who am I to know this, who am I to dream
From the warmth of being fine
to defending battle linesin a car on the freeway
broken down from some new form of gasoline
in the door she's waiting
living up to every diamond in that ring
who am I to love you, who am I to care
Another staryy night is above us
For the last ten thousand years it's been the same
in a moment's notice
not a stone unturned that someone didn't claim
who am I to be here, who am I to know
who am I to love you, who am I to care
Who am I
D.R.I.
Who am I?
Three simple words
Who am I?
A human being
Who am I?
This weird thing
Who am I?
Not what I seem
I stood there staring at the street
a little bird from the broken lights
the spot where we should meet
i used the quater from the phone but noone's home
pulled up my coat to hide in snow
i slipped on the thought that
she would even show but i know
so torn to pieces fall apart
and that breaks my heart
maybe we'll laugh
and maybe we'll fight
but there's no one to blame
who's wrong or right
just push me away god
don't say goodnight
and if your needing someone
damn who am i
who am i
i hit the wallet lunch and break
i'm faced down in the holes of my mistake
but to empty out the sword of pain
you gotta let it drain
farewell but who am i to say?
that i could paint a butterfly
in empty shades of grey
let it go and fly away
but hear me say
sweety all i want to say is
maybe we'll laugh
and maybe we'll fight
but there's no one to blame
who's wrong or right
so just push me away but god
don't say goodnight
and the drug that i take
that makes it allright
well listen to the trash can
senatras on a saturday night
we're bording the plane
hold my hand on the flight
but if your needing someone
damn who am i?
who am i?
who am i?
Sometimes you know you push me so hard
I don't know how I feel
You almost make me doubt I feel at all
It's not as though I always listen
But there's just so much I don't hear
Maybe I'll never be what you want
I know that all you're asking for
Is a little place in my heart
But I don't find it easy to give
Maybe I get a little selfish sometimes
Why shouldn't I?
I used to say I love you
But would it make a difference this time?
And who am I to tell you that I would never let you down
That no-one else could love you half as much as I do now
And who am I to tell you I'll always catch you when you fall
Well I, I wouldn't be myself at all
I wouldn't be myself at all, at all.
I always find a reason why I didn't put you first
It's not that complicated I know
I really hate it when you shake your head like this ain't gonna work
Maybe you'll never reap what you sow
I didn't want to do what everybody does
And hide the truth to find we never knew a thing about love
Cos this is real life, real love
And knowing what it comes down too
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt?
Who am I, that the bright and morning star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wondering heart?
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord You catch me when I'm falling
And You told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see our sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again?
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me?
Not because of who I am
But because what of You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord You catch me when I'm falling
And You told me who I am
I am Yours
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord You catch me when I'm falling
You told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours, I am Yours
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I? Scar mother fucking face
Who am I? A to the mother fucking K
Who am I? Belo mother fucking Zero
Who am I? Niggas Ain't Ready to Die
Who the fuck am I?
A born killer with no conscience
Leaving niggas with holes in their heads unconscience
No second chances
Cos in this game no one advances
You made your move and fucked up now the devil dances
No scrilla for this just murderers with blocks
To run up on their dick and hit em and get em hot
With a 357 slug pointed at your nose
Left a bloody mess and a note stuck between your toes
You fuck with me nigga you're fucking with the warrior
Anybody destroying you're packing the sig sauer
Putting niggas off in body bags cos in this game you take no prisoners
Leave it in blood Hare Krishna
Nobody's breathing niggas stuck on getting even
You die this evening insanity gon be my reason
I trail niggas fill niggas and kill niggas
I introduce the ways that are wicked to real niggas
Who ever epitomise
And idolise my murderous skills
With this vivid imagination and slugs that kill
Off in the zone unorthodox with the world on blocks
It's unexplainable how I got these bitch niggas locked
Keep my eyes on my safe and keep this murderous flavour
Since I picked up a strap I've had this murderous behaviour
Spread the whole clip around and get the fuck outta Dodge
I got a ride full of straps in my homies backyard
It's too cold to proceed without a block to start
Watch a gat blows him apart as the bullets depart
Now who the fuck am I? Is the question you ask
Can't be touched or fucked with is all you need to know
It's 1998 plus you bitches got to go
And y'all cain't fuck with me and tell em why
My adrenaline rush on jump
Plus you got my arm beneath grabbing with the double barrel pump
I hear some niggas talking loud like we been stealing this shit
Just say you hate me cock the bullshit don't you grip on my dick
It's Belo Zero mother fuckers same sick ass nut
Drink a brew and smoke some weed and blow your bitch ass up
I put in work so recognise I carry my shit on my chest
More respect and I neglect to come up back with the vest
I never seen a thousand soldiers hit the dirt on your roll
Fuck your chief and all the soldiers I'm a king on my own
I'm coming with force down with Big Chief nigga Rapalot style
Grip sixteens and triple beams will leave that ass on the pile
Walk on down and see the light cos I'm not faking the shit
I told you once that I'm a soldier I'm just taking your shit
Now who am I a born killer nigga fuck what you heard
I'm too delirious and serious I ain't like a nerd
Fuck around and call the coroner dig your whole ass up
Separate your head from the spam and leave your bitch ass stuck
Nigga...
Retaliation is a must
I see niggas from behind so I bust
My Desert Eagles gon to catch you when they duck
Now what the purpose when they still gon get struck
And leave they brains fucked up
I don't know why they put they eyes on me
Cos I'm a black material killer trying to keep it low key
Now what it was they probably didn't know it was me
But that goes to show em that fancy bitches focus just be
They want to look up on my Rolex while I spot on my heat
They see my Lexus car shining when I been on the streets
With no ticket on it but still they try to find out what's in it
It's a black nigga with a black chrome on the seat
In the dark zone it's on
And hell yeah I used to push packs
Taking niggas straps and pimping bitches in 'lacs
Matter of fact this shit I rap about I did before
See it ain't no studio mother fucker just stepping through these doors
We can't be fucked with we can't be touched
Cos the drama that we bring is just too much it's just too much
Do Or Die Do Or Die
I'm so glad to be here
This day has become sacred
I'm trembling with thankfulness
For all of this
Who am I
Who am I that you have brought me
This far, this far
Who am I
That you have brought me
So far
All those years of spoiled complaining
I said it's not enough
And you have forgiven me for everything
Everything
And you have given me everything
Everything
Oh, it's too much
It's too much
You're too much
You're too much
Who am I
Who am I that you have brought me
This far, this far
Who am I that you have brought me
So far
Who am I?
Who am I that you have brought me
This far, this far
Who am I that you have brought me
You there with your bag of gold
Thought you had it all together
But your hands are empty
Does it matter now
The pain it caused you cannot measure
But who am I?
Who am I to compare my pain to yours?
Suffering is sweet agony
Who am I to compare my pain to yours?
My suffering must mean nothing
So, hey there, quit imagining
That you have left this life
Your eyes are tired and your feet are worn
No, no one seems to hear your desperate cries
But who am I?
If I believe that's the truth
Then I believe you
If that's the way it should be
Then I believe you
Who am I to compare my pain to yours?
Suffering is sweet agony
Who am I to compare my pain to yours?
My suffering must mean something
Must mean somthing to you, to me
It's true
I've walked behind a lazy mule and backed it down the road
And cursed the gumbo mud that grew the corn
I swung a double bitted axe till sundown
And wondered through my sweat why I was born
I've laughed in daddy's face when he was praying
I've urned my back upon my mother's crys
I've looked into my mind when we were starving
And asked myself the question who am I
I've searched the eyes of strangers in the alley
And seen the learching looks that they return
I've read the books the scholars recommended
And trembled at the likes of what I learned
I've slept out in the night when it was raining
I've shivered at the lightning in the sky
I've looked into my mind while I was freezing
And asked myself the question who am I
I've seen the spinning world from in the gutter
And felt the kin to men who leave their wives
I've searched and finally found the perfect woman
And learned too late she never could be mine
I've walked with Lord's head behind my off-spring
Ashamed of the man in my son's eyes
Oh what a rocky track I left to follow
You keep hoping you'll wake up and have the answers to your life.
The more you search, you find the reckless driver of your mind.
You think if you keep trying to figure out where it all went wrong.
You can move one step further to a place where you belong.
You keep asking yourself - who am I?
Trying to be everything to please everyone you can.
Don't know which way to turn to, but no one can hold your hand.
And make you find the answers that you need.
No one outside yourself can lead your destiny.
You keep asking yourself - who am I?
Don't want to believe that any of this is real.
I spend my life
Trying to do things right
but all I do is fall to my face with my hands on my hips so many times
but then, I learned
after being burnt
to get back up, push straight on, stop the tears,
People move on
Well it's alright to be myself,
Now I've Learned To Stand
Well its OK to be just who I am
I've spent years really hating me
longing to be friends (friends)
Now I hope that you can understand,
This Is Who I Am
Now when life gets tough
I'm quick to hurry up
I run all day
I run through the night
I'll break down walls, I'll hit up high
I don't care if I'm fat,
Or if you think my clothes are bad
Yet i can go to sleep at night I'm a good person and I'll get by, I!
Well it's alright to be myself,
Now I've Learned To Stand
Well its OK to be just who I am
I've spent years really hating me
longing to be friends (friends)
Now I hope that you can understand,
This Is Who I Am
I need someone, someone someone, someone like me
You deserve, deserve, deserve to have me
Because your world keeps spinning
And don't try to turn it
Well it's alright to be myself,
Now I've Learned To Stand
Well its OK to be just who I am!
I've spent years really hating me
longing to be friends (friends)
Now I hope that you can understand
This Is Who I Am
Yeaaahhhhhh, yeah yeah
This Is Who I Am
Oh, take a breather this is who
Who am I, that you know me by my name
That you call me friend
Invite me in to be with you
I don't know why
You love me this way
'Cause I'm nothing at all still you call
And make me new
Who am I without your love?
I cannot live without your touch
You hold my hand and
walk me through
All I need is you
Who am I without your love?
I cannot breathe without your touch
You make me complete
I bow at your feet
For me you came to die
Who am I?
You were there, creating the world
Put the stars in the sky
God of heavenly light what can I do
Now you're here, with a love
that's so real
And I give you my life as a sacrifice
To honor you
I'm overwhelmed and overcome
By what do you and all you've done
Yeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!
Tye Tribbet!
Unh!
Truth!
Just Clap your hands!
A Hole in one
1-2-3!
If the bible was re-written and the writers put me in it
I wonder how my life would read?
Would the people that have heard of me read just to learn of me be turned away by what they see?
Or would they slump in their sofas blown away and sober by my life... didn't come to believe
Or would they do a once over read the pages of my life, and once it's over, close the book and say that's not how I want to be!
And that's a sad commentary when I'm buried under the public to see
But I pray they remember me for
Walking in integrity being what God called me to be.
And if I leave an impression man I hope that I impress them with a life that was clean and free
And I pray that it's not embarrasing when they read my narrative once I finally do leave.
Let's Go!
Who am I?
Am I more like Cain full of hatred to my brother to slain?
Who am I?
Or am I more like Jezebel sexual in all my ways?
(Think about it)
Who am I?
Or am I more like Mary pure and holy 'till I lay in the grave?
Who am I?
Or am I more like Abel, able to please God with my ways?
(Think about it)
If the book was re-written and the writers put me in it what would they say about my private life?
Would they say that my commitment to the ministry was strong but that I never spend time with my wife?
What would they say about my character?
Would they say that I was arrogant, an American full of myself?
How would they write about my parenting?
Would they say while traveling, I put my children up on the shelf?
Would it be positive or negative if everything I ever did was charted down and read by all?
Not only the stuff you could see on the surface but the stuff that was done in the dark?
Well if the boys could talk when the doors was locked would they say that I was off the chain or would it be the complete opposite would they say that my public and private life were all the same?
Who am I?
Am I more like Cain full of hatred to my brother to slain?
Who am I?
Or am I more like Jezebel sexual in all my ways?
(Think about it)
Who am I?
Or am I more like Mary pure and holy 'till I lay in the grave?
Who am I?
Or am I more like Abel, able to please God with my ways?
(Think about it)
If the book was re-written and the writers put me in who would they say that I resemble the most?
Would it be Joseph or Sampson both of 'em handsome only one of 'em was a symbol of hope.
Or would I be listed among the greats mentioned among the saints in the hall of fame?
Would I'd have to be stripped of this running the base a product of my own mistakes?
Now I know it's not possible but if the book was re-written man I wonder how my life would read.
From 2 years old till my funeral would I fail or would I succeed? Cause when they write my biography what would they recall about the life and times about the man it means a lot to me!
Cause in the story I leave 'em I am either God's leader or a picture of what not to be.
Who am I?
Am I more like Cain full of hatred to my brother to slain?
Who am I?
Or am I more like Jezebel sexual in all my ways?
(Think about it)
Who am I?
Or am I more like Mary pure and holy 'till I lay in the grave?
Who am I?
Or am I more like Abel, able to please God with my ways?
Who am I
To stand and wonder, to wait
While the wheels of fate
Slowly grind my life away.
Who am I ?
There were some things that I loved one time,
But the dreams are gone I thought were mine,
And the hidden tears that once could fall
Now burn inside at the thought of all
The years of waste, the years of crime
Passions of a heart so blind;
To think that, but even still
As I stand exposed, the feelings are felt
And I cry into the echo of my loneliness.
Who am I
To stand and wonder, to wait
While the wheels of fate
Slowly grind my life away.
Who am I ?
What a nothing I've made of life
The empty words, the coward's plight
To be pushed and passed from hand to hand
Never daring to speak, never daring to stand
And the emptiness of my family's eyes
Reminds me over and over of lies
And promises and deeds undone
And now again I want to run
But now there is nowhere to run to.
Who am I
To stand and wonder, to wait
While the wheels of fate
Slowly grind my life away.
Who am I ?
And now my friend we meet again
We shall see which one will bend
Under the strain of death's golden eyes
Which one of us shall win the prize
To live and which one will die
'Tis I, my friend, yes 'tis I
Shall kill to live again and again
To clutch the throat of sweet revenge
For life is here only for the taking.
Who am I
To stand and wonder, to wait
While the wheels of fate
Slowly grind my life away.
Who am I
What am I
I'm lying naked on the floor
I don't believe the mirror anymore
Got to find myself again
I don't know, if letting go
Might be the only way I can
In the darkest corner of my mind
I've been searching, I've been trying to find
The little girl that I left behind
I cannot see, life's blinding me
Underneath my rough and poisoned skin
Lies the inner beauty, free from sin
But I've forgotten how to reach down in
How can I feel, what I am for real
Who am I
What am I
I'm lying naked on the floor
I don't believe the mirror anymore
Got to find myself again
I don't know, if letting go
Might be the only way I can
Left alone, I'm lost in space and time
I still wonder how to ease my mind
Expectations of a different kind
I want to be me, tell me how can I be
Far away from innocence I start
Try to find the answer, hidden in the stars
Though my soul got covered in many scars
I still hold on, want to know where I belong
Chorus
Maybe after all is said and done
When the shadows and the doubts are gone
I realise it's hard to love someone
Lying idle in my room, telling my thoughts to the moon:
Why do I always feel so unimportant?
To other egos my mind clings and inside these voices ring
That I'm just a carbon copy of everyone else
And now I'm searching out my own identity
Something down inside telling me that I'm like no one else but me
But as of yet I still don't know
Who is this guy that I am and for his life what does he have to show?
Who am I?
What am I for?
I wait for answers from the sky, the only audience I find
But no comfort finds my ears just silent mocking
And I know I was created but I just can't figure out why
And now I'm searching out my own identity
Something down inside telling me that I'm like no one else but me
But as of yet I still don't know
Who is this guy that I am and for his life what does he have to show?
Who am I?
What am I for?
Still searching. Who am I?
Some answers I don't ever find
I just want to know I have a place
Come from and return to dust,
but I don't want to feel that useless
I want to see something in me that is unique.
I just want to know. Who am I?
I'm having a big problem, or should I say difficulty?
With my body's faculty
My wood ain't acting right, as soon as I got this girl to act right
Seduced her to give up the ass on the first night
Her name is Cynthia, hell of a body that will send for ya
Backstage, D.C, had my niggas go send for her
She spotted me and she said
"I was just wondering why they call you Big Ed?"
Now that's the million dollar question hon'
Let just say in the sack I'm known to make a run
Forget about it, cause I'll hit you with that pressure
Can't wait to undress ya, with your fine ass lookin' like Vanessa
5'11", light skin, green eyes and convacios
Defintely lickable in delicate places
Not tonight though, strickly just to dick down
Got to the telly, honey laid down, pulled the pannies way down
Ain't got time to waste now, she's tuggin' at my waist now
Dropped my pants, dropped my drawers, and whipped it out
Inserted into her mouth, she wrapped her head around the ear
She let me watch my dick disappear, reappear
I rubbed the cat, finger fucked it, she grabbed my hand and sucked it
And in the other hand nothing but dick
I got my jim-hand but when I tried to put it on
My hard-on was gone
I told my dick "Attention salute"
But he didn't, insuborate motherucker
What happened to the rocka rocka motherfucker?
Then he spoked, spoked me I almost choked
On my spit, this is ricdoulous
I'm looking at my piece like whose dick is this?
(Who Am I? I'm the nigga that made you
I'm the reason why all the honies laid you
I got 'em doing all that freaky shit they do
Reprations overdue)
Nigga hold up, reprations? (Yeah I said it)
Now what you mean you got me pussy? (Oh I didn't get it?)
(Only thing you did was brag about me
Telling 'em how I'm hangin' like Nights of the Boogie
All in the your raps, all in your convo
you building curosity straight from the get-go
You know, and I know, that she wants to know
And she ain't gonna go, until she knows how long I grow)
Nigga I got it from the game I spit
I enticed the mind way before she saw the dick
What you mean you made me? I'm the that bust the raps
Bust the gats (Yeah but I got the nuts to go do that
Hoes I run through that)
Fool when I walk in the spot they be like who that?
(Nigga they be lookin' at the bulge in your pants
The size of your feet and hands, peepin' out your stance
Musclar, six pack, don't mean shit
They leave your stupid ass if you go impatent
Nigga you ain't shit without me, can't do shit without me
Cause every women loves a big fat stiffy
That she can sit on, direct and cream on
And if I don't rise up, best believe she's gone
Alot of women want their cats licked
But it takes a backseat to some bomb dick
Even money won't do the trick, she'll get tired of the shit
She'll start sneaking around hunting for some dick
The want from you to lift shit, fix shit
You wouldn't be around if you weren't attached to dick
I'm in control, I'm the brain's extension
No matter you postition, just look at Bill Clinton
Dykes hate you but buy me off the shelf)
Man nigga fuck you (Nawl that's bad for your health
And while we on the topic, this bad hoe you wanna stab
Can't fuck with her dogg, she got crabs
And they'll get in my afro, oh hell no
Let's just bust from flacio, cause she'll go)
Who Am I , Who Am I
A thousand times they ask why, Who Am I, Who am I.
That I should dare to fall in love with you.
I never meant to aim so high, Who Am I Who Am I.
Well now I ask you what am I to do.
Am I supposed to sit and cry, Who Am I, Who Am I,
To tell my heart this is'nt really true.
I'll tell no lies, I'm mister mighty high.
And you're the reason why they ask me, Who Am I
No longer no one,
Because I'm your one,
That makes me someone,
And this I know who am I without you.
Never again to sit and cry, Who Am I, Who Am I.
I'll tell my heart this time it's really true.
I'll tell no lies, I'm mister mighty high.
And you're the reason why they ask me, Who Am I.
You keep hoping you'll wake up and have the answers to your life.
The more you search, you find the reckless driver of your mind.
You think if you keep trying to figure out where it all went wrong.
You can move one step further to a place where you belong.
You keep asking yourself - who am I?
Trying to be everything to please everyone you can.
Don't know which way to turn to, but no one can hold your hand.
And make you find the answers that you need.
No one outside yourself can lead your destiny.
You keep asking yourself - who am I?
Don't want to believe that any of this is real.
Yet you can't turn off the emptiness you feel.
Over time youve healed so much of me
And I am living proof
That although my darkest hour would come
Your light could still shine through
And though at times its just enough to cast
A shadow on the wall
I am grateful that you shine your light on me at all.
Who am I that you would love me so gently?
Who am I that you would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly
A conversation with the love most high.
Who am I?
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved
A wretch like me
I was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.
And the more I sing that sweet old song the more I
understand
That I do not comprehend this love thats coming from
your hand.
Who am I that you would love me so gently?
Who am I that you would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly
A conversation with the love most high.
Who am I?
Grace, grace, Gods grace
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, grace, Gods grace
Grace that is greater than all our sin
Who am I that you would love me so gently?
Who am I that you would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly
A conversation with the love most high.
Who am I?
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
Amazing love, now flowing down
From hands and feet that were nailed to the tree
His grace flows down and covers me.
(Repeat)
It covers me, it covers me, it covers me, it covers me.
It covers me, it covers me, it covers me, it covers me.
Who am I that you would love me so gently?
Who am I that you would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly
[Verse 1:]
Tiffany Evans – Who Am I
Sometimes Everthing Seems Outta My Reach
No Matter How Hard I Try
Sometimes I Feel Like Nothing At All Inside
With Everything That I Try To Hold On To
Just Seems To Slip Away
And Though I Fall It Keeps Calling Me Back Again
But I Keep Looking
I'll Sink Or Swim
I Keep Searchin To Find The Real Me
[Chorus:]
Who Am I Tell Me
Where Do I Come From
Who Am I Tell Me
Cause Its Like I Dont Fit In At All
[Verse 2:]
Sometimes I Feel Like Runnin Away
And Leaving It All Behind
And Try To Find A Place Where I Belong
If I Keep Lookin,
I'll Find Myself
I Keep Searchin To Find The Real Me
[Chorus:]
Who Am I Tell Me
Where Do I Come From
Who Am I Tell Me
Cause Its Like I Dont Fit In At All
(Who Am I)
Who Am I
(Who Am I)
Who Am I
I Know
That I Can Do Anything
Who Am I
I Know
That I Can Be Anything
Who Am I
I Know
That I Can Do Anything Thing (Anything Thing)
Who Am I
I Know
That I Can Be Anything
Who Am I
I Know
Yes I Can Be Anything
-The ether is the seduction;
"I envy your fate"
-The opportunity of reflection,
"Isn't for me to see"
-The philosophy is not for rejection,
"It appears too late"
-Trust is the last protection,
"Am I not to be?"
"Who am I to judge your dreams of eternity?"
"Who am I to judge your dreams of sanctification?"
Estimate your hegemony opposing to mine will
Give me the advantage of your limiting doom.
"Who am I to judge your belief of eternity?"
"Who am I to judge your belief of sanctification?"
As I soon will walk in the "valley of the dead",
When the spirit yearns without any hope,
Then my lack of fate envy your gods.
It is too late for me as I now am deceased.
There is no cause for regrets.
But I wish there will be a path after.
Who am I? An Aussie battler, man that manufactures
Plans to fracture, can't handle or stand my stature
My raps saturate, every batch I make is packed with hate
An act of fate, once I'm r'ound the corner, I've been trapped in rain
Scrap the page now, I've got to start from scratch again
The whack catch a break, I'm sick of sayin' congrats to them
I lax it in, catch a pen, gettin' straight to work
Take the first steps, redirect the hex and break the curse
Shake the nerves, makin words', I bear it all for this
Can't call it quits, standin' way too tall to miss
Paul is this, who am I? A phantom watchin' down
Struck a random till I'm handed all these knuckled frowns
Stop these clowns claimin' king, bring you back to planet Earth
I stand firm from the day this planet merged from Perth
A learnin' curve from the birth of this
Try to take me down but swerve and miss, motherfucker
Who am I? A slave to the beat and it's rhythm
Who am I? I'm ashamed of this world that we live in
Who am I? I'm a threat, I'm the voice in your head
The one telling you to jump off the ledge, motherfucker
Who am I? I'm the man from the land down under
Who am I? I'm the rain, I'm the sun, I'm the thunder
Who am I? I'm the hope that elopes through your speaker
Runnin' as the wolf pack leader, motherfucker, who am I?
I'm carin about one fan base in sunburnt landscape
Plan A is summed up with one word, rampage
Man-made disaster, no bandaid or plaster
Is big enough to cover up this blood, sweat, I'd rather
The heartfelt saga, targets an audience, my marker
B-Boys or girls that are as horny as Drapht
But I'm warnin that I'm born in this to shout out
Be burnin them then I'm servin the corniest on our planet
My anatomy's had a beating, I'm feeding off heads
Like Hannibal but never leavin em dead, plant my CD/see-d instead
Believe in the right season it will grow
For now I'm happy standin back and letting nobody know
Who I am, remaining to stand as the ghost in the backdrop
Won't ever abandon my pose for a snapshot
Or hope for the jackpot to carry me
I'd rather crack the luckier mentality man so...
Who am I? A slave to the beat and it's rhythm
Who am I? I'm ashamed of this world that we live in
Who am I? I'm a threat, I'm the voice in your head
The one telling you to jump off the ledge, motherfucker
Who am I? I'm the man from the land down under
Who am I? I'm the rain, I'm the sun, I'm the thunder
Who am I? I'm the hope that elopes through your speaker
Runnin' as the wolf pack leader, motherfucker, who am I?
What makes your tick climb makes me sick to the stomach
Amateur dicks pull out 'cause they know that DR's coming
It's certified, no spermicide can stop me
Fertilisin' a lot while only a third of the eyes watch me
Measure dying monopoly, building another level
Diversifying it properly, rule and run with the rebels
I never settle for second
We be goin' off quicker than the metal detection at Al Qaeda's mosque
You lost in translation, costing you to listen
To what this man's facin', offer you the vision
Just once and it will never be repeated again
I stay conceited from the greed and all the trends, motherfucker
Who am I? Paul Ridge to the death
Who am I? D-rapht to the death
Who am I? S-B-X to the death
And I'm gonna represent till there's nothin' of me left
Who am I? AM crew to the death
Who am I? War crew to the death
Who am I? WA to the death
Not made for these times
This is the end my friend
I wasn't made for these times
(and) I want to fly away
To a simpler time
To a better day
Who am I to believe in?
Who are you to believe in me?
(I'm just) a junkie, a drunkard
A bastard, a monster
Hiding from my sins
A broken prophet
From a dead end street
But we live in such terrible times
I gotta speak my mind
'cause inhumanity is all I see
It's right in front of you
It's right in front of me
I testify 'cause I'm damned if I lie but...
Who I to believe in?
Who are you to believe in me?
I wasn't made for these times
And sometimes I'd like to
Tear out my eyes
And be blind
merit less intoxication straight edge, my liberation i sever all ties from poison and greed
placing distance between me and that wich i don't need proud to be who i am i make this choice
for me and no other human i live this way for myself i hold to my own values and no one else's
but to be addicted to the edge is to be all that we've fought against to become that what we
most despise vain pride will only lead to our demise don't be as guilty as they of suffering
from dependency don't lack compassion when you judge and pass sentence be an asset to positive
change not a menace the ignorant displays of our views only make us as guilty as those who we
accuse it's sad to see so many embrace these ways intollerance only causes pain i stand strong
i've built my own edge my pride is firmly planted in solid ground not on a false edge i've seen
the way through other's past mistakes i'll keep a clear head in deciding what path it is that
i should take all this pious justice is just a faillure's trend unwarrented aggression solves
nothing in the end i'll cast no stones on those who live a different way i'm confident and
secure enough not to fear diversity my interest doesn't lie in what's in your glass i'm only
concerned with what's in your heart what's in your heart are you for real are you cold and
lifeless or do you feel do you have emotion or are you fake do you live your life for you or
is it based on false hate choose drugs free for you be proud but let the others be
All that you see here
Is nothing. Is Untruth
Including myself and this song
People and countries and earth are with me
We are just part of the one
When you pray in silence
To realize who you are
Meditation is the key
Who am I? Who am I?
Deny the mind.
The body and control the breath
Living and dying and trying to get
Consciousness, knowledge and grace
When you pray in silence
To realize who you are
Meditation is the key
I am waiting to find it now
The devil and sinners try to put me astray
I'm waiting to find it now
To saints and gods I will give my prays
When I find myself in the darkness of this
Existence
I will fight and try to reach the most divine
Energy
Who Am I?
All that you see here
Is nothing. Is Untruth
Including myself and this song
People and countries and earth are with me
We are just part of the one
When you pray in silence
To realize who you are

What, yo yo yo yo
I'm broken down from keys to Oz's to grams
And being sold in city blocks moving hand to hand
Who am I?
You can find me on a corner of your block
And I'm boning powder forming transform into a rock
Who am I?
I suck the life out of a nigga put your dick in the sand
I'm transported through borders for grams
So who am I?
Small and white like shining so bright
Might take your son's life in the middle of the night
Who am I?
Chopped down a hundred packs for hundred stacks
And I'm sold through a hole through the wall, I'm controlling you all
So who am I?
My pipe game is wicked
And an hour get you by and it can be kinda fitted
Who am I?
I might last for five minutes, but that's all right
Because that 25 Mitch will get you high all night
So who am I?
I'm born to kill blacks
And I'm made in the U.S. I'm known as crack
So who am I?
Very small, and I stashed in walls
(Who am I?)
I get you high and I'm smoked in halls
(Who am I?)
You must come if hear me call
So who am I?
I'm kinda wild, I do a killing with a smile
(Who am I?)
I move in file when you hear me go blau
(Who am I?)
I'm Teflon so how you like me now?
So who am I?
Yo, I travel at the speed of light and it ain't right
And I quick to run up and take your life in the night
I hang with cops and thugs and they call me slugs
Just like Christmas I light shit up
I got cousins and clips
That hang around bloods and crips
Mostly found around your drugs and whips
Find me in a artery
Somewhere in your body
While your lying there leaking
Looking at Lord saying, "Soddy"
I was shot at the best
(Fly)
Hit many vests
But 9 out of 10 I pierce through many chests
Colorblind, hell if I'm not like fuck it
Kids and ladies and even babies kick the bucket
S'more like a rich bitch in the store shopping
Seven I pop, there'll be a lotta niggas dropping
Majority, minority die when I fuck
But I mean I'm just a bullet and I don't give a fuck
I'm kinda wild, I do a killing with a smile
(Who am I?)
I move in file when you hear me go blau
(Who am I?)
I'm Teflon so how you like me now?
Who am I?
Unseen and I'm quick to do a killing
(Who am I?)
I move fast and I laugh at penicillin'
(Who am I?)
The type of nigga that'd make ya die
So who am I?
You can find me in your body if you don't use protection
It's fifty cent all your fucking life learn a lesson
I'm small but deadly, break a nigga down
I know you heard my name 'cause nigga I get around
Now I pray on the ones who lust for sex and drugs
Shooting out dicks and needles polluting your blood
When I see you, and I see you
Corrupt and I'm up and who you fucking, who she fucking
Yo, I'm the biggest nigga on your block
And I kill more niggas than your glock, like or not
I'm outta control, pull your body outta your soul
Than I laugh as I watch your family watch you fold
Now you can catch me but can't kill me
Try to scare but you can't feel me
Mothafuckers just don't hear me in the year 2010
Probably be the end, I just spread around the world and I do it again
Unseen and I'm quick to do a killing
(Who am I?)
I move fast and I laugh at penicillin'
(Who am I?)
The type of nigga that'd make ya die
So who am I?
oh, my inbox is empty
no message for me.
I think I am finally beginning to see
the traces of something
that went on unknown.
I was too busy
with thoughts of my own.
Thought I had control of my life
I woke up to find I'd crossed a line.
Who am I to sit and wonder?
Wonder why I'm goin under...
It's not right to say that all of this
could happen to somebody else,
when I don't even know myself.
Silence is golden
I've heard them say.
But how does something golden
cause so much pain?
I can't get over
the way my heart lies,
I'm in too deep to rationalize.
Thought I had control of my life
I woke up too find I'd crossed a line
Who am I to sit and wonder? oh, oh
Wonder why I'm goin under...
It's not right to say that all of this
could happen to somebody else,
when I don't even know myself.
oh, I'm a million miles across the border
of what I feared all along.
It can take a while to get a life in order.
Will you realize the only thing
you've ever loved is gone?
I wonder why I'm goin under na na na na
It's not right to say that all this
could happen to somebody else,
when I don't even know myself.
Who am I to sit and wonder (I don't even know myself)
Wonder why I'm goin under... woah
I can try to say that all this
could happen to somebody else,
but I don't even know myself
Who am I?
Dark lonely nights,
dark lonely days
I've never felt safe
or owned anything
I had no right to had
no right to talk
had no right to be myself
Woke up tonight something
was different I saw
a light in the sky
I'd never seen before
something's calling' me
up to the sky
something's calling' me
up to the sky
Refrain:
Who am I
that you know my name?
Who am I? Ba-ba-da-da
Like a candle burns down time
time goes by
Heart's desire fills the air
fills the sky
Face in the mirror
mom and dad in my shadow
Golden lights tells me that
I have the right to be myself
Refrain:
Who am I
that you know my name?
Who am I? (Ba-ba-da-da)
Dark lonely nights
dark lonely days
Time goes by
like a candle burns down
Golden light it's all right
to be myself
Who am I?
Refrain:
Who am I
that you know my name?
Lay down she said
Why don't you just get a grip?
You're shutting down again
Reclusive bends
Weight like lead
And all your thoughts undone
You've become a loaded gun
Illusions can't give in
Are all those voices winning?
Confidence is running low
There is something missing
Who am I?
Confidence is running low
There is something missing
Who am I?
How long must I live a lie?
Lie down she said
You're always playing dead
Struggling between
All the chaos
Constant whispering
Can't get clear
The better of my fear
And at times I just pretend
That I've lost it again
I'm losing it again
Confidence is running low
There is something missing
Who am I?
Confidence is running low
There is something missing
Who am I?
They all talk at once
But no one's there
Raise your voice
A cold blank stare
Collusion in life
Tell him it's all right
It hurts you
You take
And you smile
I know you're faking it
Once again pretend
But you've lost it again
I know it's crazy
That what's my mind so very lazy
And you just don't understand
You see I am losing it again
I'm losing it again
How will I survive this time?
How will I survive this time?
Lay down she said
You're always playing dead
How can you survive
This just isn't right
Lay down she said
You're always playing dead
How can you survive
This just isn't right
Losing it again
Losing it again
Losing it again
Losing it again
I guess I've come a long ways and I don't even know it
I guess I've seen a lot of days and I don't know how to show it
It seems people come and people go
But somehow I gotta get on with the show
It's all the same
I hope I don't blow it
Who are you and who am I?
It's hard to say sometimes
How am I supposed to fly?
I really don't know, do you?
Who are you and who am I?
It's hard to try when I'm so down
Who am I?
Suppose it's been a long time but I still have lots to say
I know that everything's fine even if it doesn't go my way
I still have a little time to grow
I have a little more that I could know
So, what if everything died?
There's still another day
Verse 1: Lord Tariq
What, Yo-yo-yo-yo

So who am I?
Verse 2: Peter Gunz
Yo, I travel at the speed of light and it ain't right

Verse 3: Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz
You can find me in your body if you don't use protection
It's fifty cent all your fucking life learn a lesson
I'm small but deadly, break a nigga down
I know you heard my name cause nigga I get around

So who am I?
What, what
Hahahaha
I never saw what was coming at me
I didn't hear what was said
What I held in the palm of my hands
Was it just in my head
(Chorus)
It never worked out that way
I thought that you meant to stay, yeah
But who am I before you start to run baby
Who am I to all I see
Who am I to hope that we are one darling
Who am I can you hear me?
Glad to tell yo my Love was real
And tell my heart out over you
When I turnin' back, from the truth now
Help me see always through
(Chorus)
And all the promises we made
Are there the ones that we Break?
But who am I before you start to run baby
Who am I to all I see
Who am I to hope that we are one darling
Who am I can you hear me? ohhhh ooohhh
Who am I before you start to run baby
Who am I to all I see
But Who am I to hope that we are one darling
Who am I can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Yeah
It's Myke Miers
The Hitchcock of Hip Hop
We bout to get down and dirty right here
Carson
[VERSE 1]
My chrome be my chaperone wherever I roam
If you wanna test then it's on, I spotted your dome
Rat-tat-tat and you're gone is how it be
See, rappin is all in my blood, inside of me
If you're steppin with a weapon, there's a 50/50 chance
If you live, you'll be pissin in your pants
If you die, you'll be chillin in a casket wearin a tuxedo
Labels fuck you, but they can't fuck me though
Stricly m.d., this Ill Boogie dog
Been seein things different since I been 20, y'all
Serve any of y'all that they put in front of me
See they harden till I step up, then they run from me
Cause Myke Miers is much more than a man
Part machine with a mic attached to my hand
It's like Schwarzenegger when he was the Terminator
My mic is a A.K. loaded with words to spray ya
But yo
[CHORUS]
(Who am I?) I'm the illest nigga alive
(It's do or die) The motto that I live by
(It's suicide) Testin me line for line
(So who am I?) The one and only Myke Miers [x2]
[VERSE 2]
I'm the bearer of bad news, I'm here to smash crews
Myke Miers got mo' nuts than cashews
You suck like vacumes, and your crew's wack too
After gettin served on the mic you might get smacked too
I dust off men often like Hofmann
Puttin trash niggas to sleep in coffins
You're lost in the shuffle with no way to step out
Can't take the heat in the kitchen, then you get the heck out
As the world turns, there's a nother lesson to learn
My style is too hot, so I bet you get burned
If I let you get a turn, will you bust tight?
I noticed the way you been peepin my style, you must bite
Touch Myke? Never that
You gotta come a little better and fresher than that
Sever your back, take out your spine, now you're spineless
Rhymeless, cause Myke Mier's music's timeless
[CHORUS]
[VERSE 3]
Yo, a lotta cats wanna take my crown
We can go style for style, so place your bets down
Put your Tec down, then your Moët down
Hope you came to splash, cause you're bout to get wet, clown
Not the first to put it down, but I left a mark
Where others fell to the wayside, I got you sparked
But now I took a little hiatus
And niggas wanna press they shit up, be claim that they the greatest
But the spot is mine, I got it signed at the dotted line
A lot of MC's got lyrics, but ain't none as hot as mine
Cats like me paved the way so you could shine
You didn't think I was gon' come back and take what's mine?
I'ma make y'all pay for the dues I paid
Ain't enough graveyards for the crews I slayed
So it's you I slay, Mykill Miers don't play
Declare to crown the Underground King of L.A.
[CHORUS]
It goes down like that
If you know who I am
Bet you know now
Afraid to grade. Wouldn't it be fun
Cross, self-loss. Wouldn't it be fun
Wet your bed. Wouldn't it be fun
Some feel none.
Wouldn't it be fun
Your eyes, teacher said [x3]
Preacher said.
Don't have nothing for you [x7]
Spell the smell. Wouldn't be fun
Search for a church. Wouldn't be fun
Wet you bed.
Wouldn't be fun Cold and coals.
Wouldn't be fun.
Your eyes, teacher said [x2]
Your eyes, preacher said.
Preacher said. Don't have nothing for you [x7]
[Solo]
Don't have nothing for you [x9]
Made like a mirror to reflect his glory
But the glass got smashed, bought a counterfeit story
We gave into pride
Sacrificed life, on that day we died inside
Outside we ignited a rebellion
An infectious disease that labels us felons
Cold and alone, ever wandering in search of a home
Bridge:
Hearts breaking, hands shaking
In time with our hearts vibrating
We say bridges to yesterday are burned
Seasons over, all those leaves have turned
But we cannot look down
We can never keep our gaze locked on the ground
And we stand with wide wide eyes
As our world comes crashing down
Chorus
Who am I to say I'm right?
Who am I to say you're wrong?
Play judge, look you in the eye
Who am I to throw the stones?
I remember when trust went for free
Sold for a smile on the face of a fantasy
Truth found her home in the pages of fairy tales
Decadent words formed the phrases for dreams that failed
Now trust is a costly commodity
Giving it away is the mark of absurdity
And truth is a homeless traveler
Hoping in the night to be found
And we wave goodbye to our innocence
And we wave goodbye to our ignorance
And we wave goodbye to our nursery mindsets
Abandoning cribs of complacence
Who am I? Where am I?
Where am I coming from?
I don't know
How far will I go?
Many lives passing by
All of them, once were mine
I can tell there's strings like Heaven
I'm the same
I'm headed out
Searching for identity
Who am I? Where am I?
Look what I've left behind
Why grow?
How far back must I go?
Who am I?
I don't know
When I write about – the poison in my veins
Don't know if you- can understand
It's just the story- of my life
Try to act cool- but I cannot hide that
I'm marked of – my consume
But I know that I'm broken- what's the story about you
Don't know if it is right
Don't know if it is wrong
But I cannot- I cannot hide
Who I am
Don't know if it is right
Don't know if it is wrong
But I cannot- I cannot hide
Who I am
You can see the scars- in my flesh
But you cannot see- what's in my soul
I'm also blinded- by my own view of the world
I criticize all of my words- but you are one of these blind followers
Don't know if it is right
Don't know if it is wrong
But I cannot- I cannot hide
Who I am
Don't know if it is right
Don't know if it is wrong
But I cannot- I cannot hide
Who I am
Don't know if it is right
Don't know if it is wrong
But I cannot- I cannot hide
Who I am
Who I am- Who I am
It's just me and no one fuckin' else- man
Who I am- Who I am-
It's just me and no one fuckin' else- man
Who I am- Who I am
Who I am- Who I am
Who I am- Who I am
Feat. Ezekiel Sugarwater

Today, on the street
In the metro,
It's a melancholy day
No-one speaks
Passing you by
Wondering why
Today, like any day
Rolled out of bed
Talked on the telephone
Went to the doctor, she said
You're ok
Still I wonder
Who am I x 4
Today in the air
On the water
Ships pass you by
Clouds fantasize
Dragging shapes across the sky
Wondering why
Who am I x 4
Clarion crows for the courtsmans brigade
Centuries before on this very stage
Gypsies serenade, passed through DNA
And so it found its way
[Bridge]
Who am I x 4
Today on the street
In the metro,
When I think how He came so far from Glory!
Came and dwelt among the lowly such as I,
Suffered pain and such disgrace on Mt Cavalry He'd take
my place.
so I ask myself this question.
Who am I that a King would bleed and die for?
Who ma I that He would pray, not My Will, Thine Lord.
The answer I may never know, why He'd ever love me so,
that to an old rugged cross He'd go for Who am I.
And, I'm reminded of His Words, I'll leave you never,
Just be true, I'll give to you, life forever and forever,
I wonder what I could have done to deserve God's only
son,
to fight my battles until they are done for who am I.
Who am I that a King would bleed and die for?
Who ma I that He would pray, not My Will, Thine Lord.
The answer I may never know, why He'd ever love me so,
that to an old rugged cross He'd go for Who am I. Who am
Funny, the thoughts I have at night.
So different than the thoughts I have by day.
The moment mama switches off the light,
A thousand different questions come my way,
And stay.
Who Am I?
Was it all planned in advance
Or was I just born by chance
In July?
Oh, who on earth am I?
Did I ever live before
As a mountain lion or
As a flow'r?
My friends only think of fun,
They're all such incurable tots.
Can I be the only one
Who thinks these mysterious thoughts?
Someday I'll die.
Will I ever live again
As a rooster or a hen
Or a lion in a den
Or a robin or a wren
Or a fly?
Oh, Who Am I?
(instrumental break)
My friends only think of fun,
They're all such incurable tots.
Can I be the only one
Who thinks these mysterious thoughts?
Someday I'll die.
Will I ever live again
As a rooster or a hen
Or a lion in a den
Or a robin or a wren
Or a fly?
I know I ain't the only one that had a hard life
Fell down, got back up, hard drive
Now I just want to be me and not apologize, yeah
I'm just living my life
I made it through the rain and I remember the day
When it was said to me, change your name
Just show 'em who you are boy
It's time you start actin' like a starboy
So I said, you're so right
Feels like I've been doing this all my life
But I know one day, I'll see my name in lights
So when they ask a-ah a-ah a-ah
Who am I?
I'm the one who's gonna make that breakthrough
I'm the one that should've given up by now
The one who shouldn't have survived what I went through
But it made me stronger, 'cause now
A walking disaster
Well I'll be a master
If I get back up
So when they ask a-ah a-ah a-ah
Who am I?
Remember that it ain't about the times that you fall down
No, it's about the times you rise again
I was down like four flat tires
I lost my way 'til I followed my desire then I knew
That if I just work hard, there's nothing that I couldn't do
It was overdue, yeah
I made it through the rain and I remember the day
When it was said to me, change your name
Just show 'em who you are boy
It's time you start actin' like a starboy
So I said, you're so right
Feels like I've been doing this for all my life
But I know one day, I'll see my name in lights
So when they ask a-ah a-ah a-ah
Who am I?
I'm the one who's gonna make that breakthrough
I'm the one that should've given up by now
The one who shouldn't have survived what I went through
But it made me stronger, 'cause now
A walking disaster
Well I'll be a master
If I get back up
So when they ask a-ah a-ah a-ah
Who am I?
I'm a success
I am a survivor
I can be the best
Ask me 'can I do it?'
I will say yes!
So when they ask a-ah a-ah a-ah
Who am I?
And I don't wanna be surviving
I'd rather be thriving
Oh and that's when I learn to turn
A negative into a positive
If you address the haters
You give them a place to live
I'm just doing me
So when they ask a-ah a-ah a-ah
Who am I?
I'm the one who's gonna make that breakthrough
I'm the one that should've given up by now
The one who shouldn't have survived what I went through
But it made me stronger, 'cause now
A walking disaster
Well I'll be a master
If I get back up
So when they ask a-ah a-ah a-ah
Who am I?
I'm a success
I am a survivor
I can be the best
I'm a success
I am a survivor
I can be the best
I'm a success
I am a survivor
I can be the best
Ask me 'can I do it?'
I will say yes!
So when they ask a-ah a-ah a-ah
Where’s my faith? Where’s my home?
Sometimes I don’t know where I belong
Watching the news makes my skin curl
Feeding anger between two worlds
Am I a stranger in the West?
I feel pain burning my chest
There are so many faces in our eyes
But so many exits in my life
Who am I? Who am I?
Why am I a stranger in your eyes?
Tell me why, tell me why
Why is there anger in your heart?
I’m not a rebel, I’m just a girl
I’m not causing any trouble
Can’t carry that weight on my shoulder
But I feel the world is growing colder
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Who am I? Who am I?
Am I a stranger in your eyes?
Tell me why, please tell me why
Why s there anger in your heart?
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh

[Verse 1: Truck Turner]
Who name ring bells to 60 from 12 to 12
Legend has it when he piss he put out the fires in hell
Plus rock well honeys wanna fuck him for free like Akinyele
Threw cocktails through niggaz window if my glock fell
Who be the man layin' full on his back plus his gat
Crack a forty pimpslap a hoe for only his cash relax
Oh when it's time to flip just send a track
Get ya hiccup on the wifey and still have time to hit that
WHO AM I? That big nigga Truck known to get buck
Shake shit up, if DB break shit up
WHO AM I? A nigga that's never given' a fuck
If you take it there I be waitin' with bullets to spare
WHERE AM I? Uptown originate from Bucktown
Fly ladies from BK to the BX get struck down
WHAT AM I? Like this is how the streets made me
Rugged and crazy, shady when niggaz don't pay me
WHO AM I? I told you it's Truck
WHAT AM I? I done you be trust
WHERE AM I? Behind you, ready to bust
WHY AM I? Not Big Poppa but Ready To Die
I hope you ready to fry, I'ma send you to hell
You men's gone by you side with one in the eye
Gun on my tigh, you frontin' but why?
Did somebody tell you Truck gon' bust his gun catch your body and lie
Then fuck your shorty a slide drink a forty get high
WHO AM I? I told you Truck Turner

In a rush, pass me the keys to the truck, get caught

Trucky baby hold yo weight get them papes, ahh

Tell your dogs get the fuck up off the gate now
[Verse 2: Truck Turner]
Acquirin' mine all know who that cat with the fo'fo' mentally loco
Skin dark and in coco got your neighborhood in a chokehole
Even my dame guess when I'm broke yo, don't give up the shine
Or be in the hospital with the postal
WHO AM I? A nigga that's wanted for homicide
Always ready to ride aim steady ain't patty, you high
I seek and destroy your fake vibe
This shit we make live, out of eight I spit five
And save three for extra's who wanna face me
WHAT AM I? A pirat through the heart you catch a slug
Through the heart been on the low for a while
But now I'm due to start through dirt
Cops pursue us we escaped through the park
While they searchin' for us we at the crib laid back
Jewels off chillin' laughin' Hennessy spillin'
Lettin' the buddha spark, pirats we rule this all
WHERE AM I? You never know, I could be the one
Lettin' go the slugs from the fo' fo' through your dole
Straight to your hole, sendin' a message to ya yo
Nigga you next don't give a fuck who you know
Niggaz thugged out up in the studio, yellin' Truck's my man
But never knew me though you're straight booty yo
WHY AM I? Don't ask me that shit you know why, I
Spit clips like I said niggaz softer than my bitch tits
Dead on niggaz I lift lips leave imprints
Slugs flash burn and stick like hot pricks
Niggaz must be high like 747's
When Truck launch rockets like you don't cop it
Watch it crash and burn to remind you not shit
And I'm the hot shit that wrong nigga you got with
Never kill a nigga unless I'm makin' the profit
The price is right I'm makin' the profit
When the smoke cleared you be dead
When money get shot with, now you know
Who I am, what I do, where I be, why I do it
And let guns that cock fluid, crews I run through it
Drama? I'm into it, Truck did it? Couldn't prove it
Now brag about it in my music
What's my game, what's my aim, what's my claim?
Why I came, why niggaz done fame, what's my name?
i've got things that i need to work on
and other things that i live by
none of which reside in me when i lie
how can anyone claim to know me
when i don't even know myself?
i'm a blank book sitting on the shelf
who am i to say
i'm never gonna die?
who am i?
i'm a heel, i am not a liar
but i'm digging my own grave
so tar & feather me when i misbehave
i've had thirteen glasses of water
i'm considering that a meal
someone help me, i've forgotten how to feel
who am i to say
i'm never gonna die?
who am i?
and what am i to do
when happiness turns blue?
what am i to do?
when will i break the spell
that's been cast on me?
and what will bring that happy, happy boy
back to me?
i've got things that i need to work on
and other things that i live by
none of which reside in me when i lie
who am i to say
i'm never gonna die?
who am i?
and what am i to do
when happiness turns blue?
Cuz I'm the, Pimpstress, the baddest bitch
Clothes always baggy for the stitch and the itch
Thirty-five oh no, steady hittin' licks
Dreams to be rich, and be on top of the list
Brown eyes and bow legs, steady turnin' heads
Fuck all the cappin' cuz yo I'm all about my bread
Corsege lens, put that down on the Benz
Rags to riches and get more grip from my pen
S.P.M. Put it down, and left it to me
I got that chrome M.V.P., hustlin' loyal dope fiends
Rollin' deep, gettin' crunk, smokin' blunts with codeine
Sacked the cream, triple beam, platinum records just gleam
Poppas, don't wet on your own carpets
Hollow tips, I'm on that, puttin' snitches in check
Drop gold diggers, floss chrome triggers
Dopehouse my crew, at six figures
Who am I? Pimpstress for life
Dopehouse is the family, so I gotta stay tight
Wreckin' shows in girbauds, slammin' through the side doors
I'm the coldest Latina, in them baggy ass clothes
Squeeze lip, pop trunk and recline
Woodstrip, candy paint, I owe it all to my rhyme
I'm the coldest female rapper in this industry
From A-Town to H-Town I put it down for the three
The dopest bitch in the clique, snappin' them necks
Cashin' them checks, what it takes to get wet
That's on the real baby, sometimes hoe be actin' shady
Disrespectin' a pimp, get a chip, from my three eighty
They want beef pimp, then voy a lo piscina
Big tits I'll flip, I got'cha chocolate Latina
Creamy thighs so lovely, ballas wanna touch me
Maybe cuz I'm down to pimp, they wanna fuck me
Ice on my rings, S.P.M. it's a shame
So many killas on my team, you'd think we're a gang
From Austin to Cali, New York to the valley
Babies screamin' for the pimp because they know this bitch is bout it
Mob affiliated, to run with my killas, drug dealers
Those muthafuckas who be down for the scrilla
Pimpstress is what they call me, female roll call
Knockin' pictures off the wall, Dopehouse is standin' tall
Last but not least, I'm the freestylin' beast
My pimp goes on sheets, I pimp my pen like most freaks
All them G's that be saggin', this a high dive act
Went out with the pimp, I got you comin' so fast
Crystal barros, and bezzle champagne
S.P.M. put it down, check the emblem on my chain
Kiss the pinky ring, get up off your knees
Dopehouse is family, Austin, Texas where I be
Southwest from the 3, I kick it down from where I see
Then you G's you got beef, que pasa?
Bounce is dead, and let it be known
On this microphone, I stand alone
Automatic chrome, underneath my throne
Don't make me reach for my heat, or bad heat will meet you home
Miss Pimpstress, dismiss your existence
Verse 1
As he looks in the mirror he starts to cry
He can’t find the reasons why
No peace, no contentment
So he makes up his mind
To seek out the answers on dark, lonely night
Asking Lord Who am I
Chorus
Who am I lord , Who Am I
And how do I let go of moments gone by
I will not let go, until you reply
Asking Lord who am I
Verse 2
In a still, soft voice
Out of the blue
A voice softly whispers, “I’ve been watching you,”
“I hear all your thoughts, seen everything that you do,”
“My son I’ve been patiently waiting for you,”
“I’ve got so many plans for you.”
Chorus
Who am I lord , Who Am I
And how do I let go of moments gone by
I will not let go, until you reply
It was (Handel's) opportunity, it was a gift from God
He gave hope to Judie's parents, to compensate the loss
Money was no object, looking for the perfect cross
A thoroughbred with pedigree, good teeth and winning
form
At the clinic you can pick and choose from every race
and creed
You can have yourself an athlete or even (Mister Deeds)
But you won't find gays and lesbians in the emporiums
seas (seeds)
Only perfect boys and girls in suburban garden dreams
I've seen it on TV
(These things can't do any harm)
Who am I to disagree?
I've seen it on TV
(Seems milk and honey pie)
Who am I to disagree?
He's been tampering with nature, taking science a step
too far
Making money out of misery, playing God at the auction
stall
He's the father of invention, the alter-ego made flesh
He's clinically efficient, there's no dust on his shelf
It's a marvellous opportunity for a young man out of
school
Besotted by the market place and all its golden rules
It's a billion dollar industry (despair then) a little
hope
But making babies used to be what we did behind closed
doors
I've seen it on TV
Seems milk and honey pie
Who am I to disagree?
I've seen it on TV
____ ________ _____
Who am I to disagree?
I'm going back to where I've been from
I've seen it on TV
Seems milk and honey pie
Who am I to disagree?
I've seen it on TV
Seems milk ________
Who am I to disagree?
Mmmm, who am I,
