I Am What I Am

Chubb Rock


[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
