I (belew/omega)

"friends seen an’ unseen…to you that are ridin’ along
In your automobile…to you that are sitting at you table
I greet you with the holy word ‘peace’…
For with my infinite mind i thinks constructively…
And i’m able to draw whatsaever i want into my immediate
Surroundin’…for yo’ minds are my mind
And my mind is yo’ mind and i’m sendin’ out
My mind to you, you, an’ you…

You’ve got to remain to bein’ yourself…you cannot be
Nobody else, it ain’t no use tryin’ bein’ no whirlwind
An’ uh, jumpin’ here an’ an’ playin’ checkers with
Your own life, that ain’t gonna work, baby…

Now repeat these words behind me:
‘i am what i am’…now that’s all you are…
You are what you believe you are…stretch out

So many of you all in radioland, you’re not stretchin’ out…
But i want to say one thing to you today…it makes no
Differen’ who you are, what you’re doin’, what you’re
Tryin’ to do or want to do, repeat these words
‘i am what i am and that’s all i am…is what i am’…
That’s all i, look, that, that’s all i am is what i am…and i’m it

Make no differen’ whether it’s in the mornin’,
The evenin’, or in the night time…
Hair breakin’ out, bald headed…it’s the same thing…
You are what you believe you are

‘cause some of you all are sittin’ there right now,
Amen, an’ tell if you had a necktie on yo’, on now, right now,
A whirlwind would come along an’ choke you to death,
That’s how bad luck some of you all in…
Some of you all in such a bad luck right now
That you couldn’t hit a barn with a baseball bat…
Some of you all in such a bad luck right now, amen,
If you was to sit down by-a-by-men, by a pond, amen,
Somethin’ would come up an’ stick ya’
You just in that bad a’ luck…

I am what i am…now repeat this behind me:
‘i am what i am and that is all i am and i am it’…
Yes, i know what you’re sayin’…stretch out…oh, yes…stretch out"

[verse 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
The lyrics that you hear is not his but mine
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

[verse 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

[verse 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

[verse 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

Some choose to remember
Some choose to forget
Some fall to pieces
When they lose their heads

I choose to get lucky
Don’t choose to regret
I’ll take my chances
Only i know best

When it all gets down to me
When it all gets down to me

(‘cause) i am, what i am
And no one’s gonna tell me where or when
‘cause i am what i am
And no one’s gonna break me down again

I hate to be lonely
I can’t pretend
Don’t need no phonies
Tryin’ to be my friends

Don’t care ‘bout danger
I can take the fall
Ev’ryone’s a stranger
Till just one stands tall

And it all comes down to me
When it all comes down to me

(‘cause) i am, what i am
And nobody’s gonna tell me where or when
‘cause i am, what i am
Nothin’s gonna break me down again

I can hear the devil callin’, callin’
I can hear him callin’ me
But i don’t do nothin’
I don’t believe

When it all comes down to me
When it all gets down to me

(‘cause) i am, what i am
And no one’s gonna tell me where or when
‘cause i am, what i am
And nothin’s gonna break me down again
No, nothin’s gonna break me down – again

I am what i am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation
It’s my world
That i want to have a little pride in
My world
And it’s not a place i have to hide in
Life’s not worth a damn
Till you can say
I am what i am

I am what i am
I don’t want praise i don’t want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it’s noise i think it’s pretty
And so what if i love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham
Till you can shout out
I am what i am

I am what i am
And what i am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It’s one life and there’s no return and no deposit
One life so it’s time to open up your closet
Life’s not worth a damn till you can shout out
I am what i am

I am what i am

I am what i am
And what i am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It’s one life and there’s no return and no deposit
One life so it’s time to open up your closet
Life’s not worth a damn till you can shout out
I am what i am

Oh i am
Oh i am
I am, i am, i am good
I am, i am, i am strong
I am, i am, i am worthy
I am, i am, i belong

I am

I am

Ooh ooh ooh ooh i am

I am, i am, i am useful
I am, i am, i am true
I am, i am somebody
I am as good as you, ah ha
Ah ha, ooh ooh ooh ooh yes i am
Ah ah ah ah

Doo doo doo doo i am
I am, i am, i am

I am what i am (remix) – gloria gaynor 3:16
Written by jerry herman
Album: dance disco vol 1 mcps

It takes a lifetime to become the best
That we can be
We have not the time or the right
To judge each other
It’s one life and there’s no return
And no deposit
One life
So make sure you like what’s in your closet

Hmm hm, ooh ooh yeah
Hmm hm ooh ooh yeah, yeah ooh ooh
I am what i am
I don’t want praise
I don’t want pity

I bang my own drums
Some thinks it’s noise
I think it’s pretty
And so what if i love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham till you can shout out
I am what i am
[i am what i am]

Ooh ooh hmm hm
Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
Hm hm hey hey
Ooh uh i am what i am
Am what i am
Needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace sometimes the deuces
It’s my life that i want to have a little pride in
My life and is not a place i have to hide in
Life’s not worth a damn till you can shout out?
I am what i am
I am what i am
I am what i am
I am, i am, i am, i am, i am i am what i am
I am what i am

It’s my world that I want to have a little pride in
My world, and it’s not a place I have to hide in
Life’s not worth a damn ‘til you can say
“Hey world, I am what I am!”

And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle?
