Who I Am

Social Expectation drowns us all inside What you have should be what I want Cos what I have just aint alright The clothes I wear, the way I comb my hair How I live, oh I don’t care This is who I am, this is me Nothing, everything, can’t you see Who I am, just let me be Cos like it or not but God loves me Who I am He said, she said, they all did What’s expected of them all To get to the top don’t matter If somebody’s gotta fall You gotta brace the storm, the norms to conform Get what you wants’ gonna kill us all Beyond the body that you see There’s so much more to me And I feel best when my soul is free They tell me this is the way that I need to reform If I continue to stray, I’m gonna start up a storm Wear this, drive that, like this, not that Don’t dare lose track or you’ll fall way back But if my Lord loves me then I know that I’m free You can say what you want just let me be I know if I’m real and it’s not a disguise You’ll love who I am if you open up your eyes I insist that you see, I aint a mystery It’s who I wish to be, this is me It’s what’s true within, come and look again Looking through the skin Who I Am by Zain Bikha
