(VERSE 1)
I've spent years on the scene and I've done my time
I was never given anything, I've earned what's mine

I defy all lines, I will not retreat
You can't buy me, I spit right in the face of defeat


This is my class; Top Brass, a bold breed
A caliber conceived, birthed and born to lead
To be the first pick, first string, first in, front line

Screaming into the sky, "The World is Mine!"

I define defiance, represent rebellion

Embody true autonomy, have been through hell
And still do what I choose, been battered and bruised
Yeah I've taken many beatings and gladly paid all my dues

But I refuse to dummy down and follow the herd
I'm gonna say what I believe and stand by my word
See, I've never known the taste of a silver spoon

Never took the blue pill, not to mention I'm immune

Can't be controlled, won't do what I'm told

I'm not a number, a name tag, or fit into a mold
As my story unfolds I will proudly stand
Forever unapologetically; I don't give a damn

This is...

(CHORUS)

WHO I am (what I believe)
WHO I am (with every breath I breathe)
WHO I am (tried and true)

The only thing to be in this world is you

(VERSE 2)

Substance, with every single syllable I bring
'Cause you can talk all day long and never say a thing
We don't even need the music for me to convey I'm not playing

I'll write it out in Braille, you can feel what I'm saying
THAT'S REAL


No facade, I will never be part of propped up pop propaganda, fake art
With no heart, no soul, I cannot be sold
I'll be the bright light in a dark mine that's black as coal

Whether I'm mocked, blocked or knocked ? still I'll never stop
Like a rock, as consistent as hands on a clock
You can bet I'm gonna be locked, loaded, ready for a test

I don't walk and talk, I DO better than the best.
No vest on my chest, I'm not afraid to die
I've been blessed, so I live every minute I'm alive

And I take this vow; while I'm here above ground
NEVER WILL I EVER BACK UP OR BOW DOWN


(BRIDGE)
When death comes to get me I've got no regrets
I threw it all on the table when I placed my bet

Said it all, did it all, and I'd do it again just so...
SO THE WORLD WILL KNOW
