I AM Who I Am

I am who I am and I feel how I feel
Nothing I can do yo the deals been sealed
So I cope with my fucked up ways like whatever
I'm not afraid of getting wet yeah I stay in stormy weather
However, I'm use to hardships
F**k it my life's a gauntlet
I never had a choice but to walk it
Got nothing to lose and nothing to gain
Composing a rhyme to keep from going insane
But at this point in my life thoughts weigh heavy on the brain
I find myself moving at a pace I can't maintain
I was once wired but now my energy's drained
Insomniac suffering from sleepless nights
I'm so tired but I guess that's life
You win and you lose, yeah you live and you learn
And the object of the game yo is not to get burned
Unfortunately there is no heaven without hell
And paradise always seems to lie beyond the bars of a cell
So this is for them skinny cats living the streets
Striving to eat and trying to make ends meet
Would rather die than know the meaning of defeat
I deal with words while some deal with heat
So you should think again before you think s***s sweet
You'll end up with a mouth full of cavities
Bent over pointless rivalries, blind and dieing to see
Now you tell me what man don't bleed
Hungry and won't kill to feed if he feels the need
I'm looking for the right soil to plant me seed
So my legacy will live on when I've ceased to breathe
We are who we are and we feel how we feel
Nothing we can do yo the deals been sealed
I got mad love for them cats yo who keep s**t real
And for you fake m***********s yo ya'll get nil

'Would rather die than know the meaning of defeat' : such a bold and beautiful statement!
'I deal with words while some deal with heat' : each line could have easily stood for its own poem!

Energy! Despite all, one feels before all your intense feelings and energy! Yes, Scirocco, we can never be more than who we really are! But even when the deal is sealed, one can still find something more rewarding than what has been written! Yes, we feel what we feel, but we do not have to be 100% the mirror of what they did or did not to us!!! Use that bountiful energy for your own benefit, if I may give a small advice!! You are talented and are certainly a valuable person to many people!!!

Spoken like a true Jersey brother. I'm a southern boy myself but I could so relate to the content of keeping it real and leaving our legacy in words to ponder for those who come after. I love the street-smart style of writing you use here...pure talent.

yo, this is how it is....this is a very expressive piece and is very true. you write a lot like a friend of mine who is also a scorpio.

the flow and rhyme were great. a very good piece of work.

Always,

Amanda
