Who I Am

I ain't got much going on these days I've seen a lot of work but I ain't seen no pay I've seen people pass me in another lane Heard folks trying to be what they ain't I heard them sayin' things they don't mean And most of them don't think too much of me You lived out my authenticity Just because they've seen me on TV And all I can be is something real Just sing the words the folks can feel Words I've been living since the day Started rolling down the lost highway I don't need your blueprint for what I already do I'm just gonna sing a song that gets me through So you can try and figure out my plan Don't try to tell me who I am No Well, I woke up early this morning And that rain was pouring down And so I tried to spin my records They wouldn't make no sound All I can be is something real Just sing the words the folks can feel Words I've been living since the day Started rolling down the lost highway I don't need your blueprint for what I already do I'm just gonna sing a song that gets me through So you can try and figure out my plan Don't try to tell me who I am You can try and figure out my plan But don't try to tell me who I am No, no, no
