Am What I Am - Kid Rock

One) Here we go, ha ha Thou shalt not have no other great one but me Transcribin my lyrics is the c-h-u-b While, biblical words don't need to ra-hyme I said, "let there be a light," and there was light And the breeze (?), like that kid who made "i-ight" But men took mad dominion, over men Hard bondage with backs and, knees that must bend But only in prayer, I make your head need ibuprof'/bayer Call me, the number one player But hey. the one pharoahes, parlayed In the land of egypt, when that slave shit behaved Bythia(?) drew me, from the nile to smile on the people After me there will be a sequel And I'll praise my name, in the jam Call me what you want, but I am what I am Two) Hehe, I live in the souls of men, and women And pilgrims and children who wiggle, to the rhythm Just go, the people have corrupted themselves They toke the devil's smoke, puffing their l's I'll send, my only son down, to bless you And observe how you know him, and that will test you Years, of sufferation, will burn the nation With adultery, skirt-chasin and crotch-blazin You never learn - look how many times I kilt ya I burnt ya, I drowned ya, I froze ya I stripped your land and destroyed ya culture Next time you better give me some R-e-s-p-e (c-t) now hold ya but I love ya I invented aids but also, invented the rubber Each one teach one brother Take my name in vain and you're gone like damn Call me what you want, but I am what I am Three) Ha ha Now you got light skin, dark skin, east coast, west coast Old school, new school, dumb-ass fools One land, one people, I am the one Figure you disobeyed so I made the word "nigger" You can change the diction, but can't change what I'm writin I script those pulitzer books for that kid, michael crichton Like {*tch tch tch*} I am the hi-hat I am the m-i-c, I am easy mo bee And easy mo is me, he gets down when I want him to get down I put the heights in the crown I wrote the dead sea scrolls, I'm "strictly business" I made erick and parrish go gold My crew is tan, darker than tan, I made the ku klux klan I made rush +def+ but, able to +jam+ I'm flam, and I'm intricate You must and should be a fan and I am what I am Four) The praise of the "goodfella" is long past done Deniro's an actor, on cue, totin a gun Action! forty-five colt bolt, it gets messy Then copycat murders flow to joe schmoe pesci Then the ladies, sex, to the break of dawn and Another quaalude, and she'll love me in the mornin Fast pace, "scarface," you can't win, god's race When you're sparkin noah's ark, and you're in god's place Baby - cock up your foot and you act crazy Every "distinguished gentleman" wants a lady You can't bug, when you wanna play real life cocoa When you're "down and out in beverly hills" with oprah "Mi vida loca," and then it turns to weed smokers Then you're dead, dealin with them kids from +cosa nostra+ But no autographs you must, already be a fan I am what I am and that's all that I am

Mmmm I love it when you play it like that Come on... Play Sittin' here alone I'm lookin' back on where I've roamed And laughing how I swore I'd win and not get burned Left my family Left my home I worked my fingers to the bone And there was not a stone I did not leave unturned And I was havin' a good time Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster We're one day older and one step closer Roll on there's mountains to climb Roll on we're on borrowed time Roll on Roller coaster Roll on tonight Roll on tonight yeah Money and success I don't complain about the stress I wanted this and now it's here So I don't bitch And I swear that time's a trick It disappears in oh so quick Man I was just sixteen And now I'm starin' at thirty-six But I'm still havin' a good time Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster We're one day older and one step closer Roll on there's mountains to climb Roll on we're on borrowed time Roll on Roller coaster Roll on tonight Roll on tonight And I know it's hard to see with the sun in your eyes But one day you're gonna say I saw the light And now headin' for the hill And I just cannot wait until My children grow up to have children of their own And I'll be telling them about The times I turned the party out And how I stood against an army all alone Drinkin' wine and stayin' high And realized it couldn't last And how I turned myself around And went down another path And the signs we must observe When life's changes do occur But most of all I'll tell them Just how proud I am of them And always have a good time It's all love and good times Let's all have a good time Yeah Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster We're one day older and one step closer Roll on there's mountains to climb Roll on we're on borrowed time Roll on Roller coaster Roll on tonight Roll on tonight
