Ikenna

I Am

His Anthem

I am not the common fool,
The tongue is mighty powerful, so I say I am born to rule,
This troubled child is not to be ridiculed,
Don’t underestimate me for I am cruel,
My eyes burn, my tears are the fuel,
I am not to be screwed with,
My heart beats, take caution, it could be the devil’s tune,
I am not to be played with, be careful
 
I am what I say I am,
A god, Lord, King, Judge, I say whatever I am,
On my death bed, you still can’t tell me what I am,
I live for me, don’t interfere when I say I am,
Yesterday I was, Tomorrow I will be, but for Now, I am,
And that’s all that matters so don’t decide what I am
 
You think you know what I am but you have no clue,
I am defined by my truth,
I am what I say I am,
So you do you and I’ll do mine.

(2014)

Inspirations: Marshall Bruce Mathers III, Kendrick Duckworth Lamar, Oluwafolahanmi Adebesin Ayodeji.

Also Inspired by the songs I Am by Rock Mafia and Wyclef, The Way I Am by Eminem and Sing About Me by Kendrick Lamar
