Who I Am

I ain't got much going on these days
I've seen a lot of work but I ain't seen no pay
I've seen people pass me in another lane
Heard folks trying to be what they ain't

I heard them sayin' things they don't mean
And most of them don't think too much of me
You lived out my authenticity
Just because they've seen me on TV

And all I can be is something real
Just sing the words the folks can feel
Words I've been living since the day
Started rolling down the lost highway

I don't need your blueprint for what I already do
I'm just gonna sing a song that gets me through
So you can try and figure out my plan
Don't try to tell me who I am
No

Well, I woke up early this morning
And that rain was pouring down
And so I tried to spin my records
They wouldn't make no sound

All I can be is something real
Just sing the words the folks can feel
Words I've been living since the day
Started rolling down the lost highway

I don't need your blueprint for what I already do
I'm just gonna sing a song that gets me through
So you can try and figure out my plan
Don't try to tell me who I am

You can try and figure out my plan
But don't try to tell me who I am
No, no, no
