The Way I Am

by Twan - Aries

(ha ha
this song is for anyone
who...
fuck it, sit back and listen)

everytime i can think
i go back in time to put together another half-assed rhyme
because all i am is indeed just another black man going on and on about
what this world is coming to, what's it coming through time after time the minus a crime
so i'm alternative, so what, you aint worth the time but i go back in line
to when i became me. so i point my pointer at those who don't like being open so fuck em!
thats all i can be to see controversy with me
draw a line in the sand and with a broken hand 
i am, what ever i say i am
cause if i wasn't, than why would i say i am
in the mirror, the eyes everyday i am
no one even wants to hear my jam
i am, whatever I say i am
cause if i wasn't,than why would i say i am
in the mirror, the eyes everyday i am
i don't care thats the way i am
sometimes i just want to be alone, cause i'm full grown
i don't need to masturbate but i do it anyway
sometimes i still do it during the day
i do need to ask you, how stupid are you
to try to conduct and interview
me when i feel like cryin' and killin'
or going through your chest with a move like drillin'
i'm down with the sickness, catching my breath
with every moment in the past thats getting left now
the way that i am demands my attention
cause i'm stuck in school and stuck in detention
where is the moral patrol in the inter-city
cause they don't give a fuck, and thats just shitty
they really don't care...so i give them the finger cause they're making life more unfair 
repeat the chorusX2
i'm so sick and tired of being mired in this rut that i'm mired and these kids i aint sired it aint right to tell what you do
but you already know what i talk is true, so many racist, given no basis
but they don't need a reason to attack at ten paces
so they try to jump on me just cause my sex
life aint theirs cause theirs is a wreck
they were born with march of dimes birth defects
god bless you and curse you,we won't reimburse you 
if i was in sports not sure my family won't come first
and i don't understand why we get outta hand
cause all this shit aint right so they fall in the sand
no i won't look in your eyes 
you can call me a fag, and i'm glad
cause i am, what ever i say i am
and if i wasn't, than why would i say i am
in the mirror my own eyes every day
nothing at all that you have to say
cause i am, whatever I say i am
cause if i wasn't, than why would i say I am
in the mirror AND my own eyes everyday
I DON'T KNOW, THATS WHAT I GOTS TO SAY.
