I Won't Change (feat. C Notes)

Now is it the fact

That since I'm young and black

That if I say I'm a take care of it

They think I'm a snap

Or is because they know I'm young and I'm fly

That if a young girl speak, they think I'm a try

The unthinkable

But I don't believe people who

Judge a whole movie and they only seen the previews

Daddy told me don't worry about what they think of out

If you can look in the mirror

And that man wink at you

But I'm willing to bet, cause I'm young and I'm fresh

And because I'm influential, to you I'm a threat

And even though I give my elders their due respect

To you I'm a kid, but to them I'm a vet

I might of made a mistake, but I never regret

You see I look at the cause, but I can see the effect

I might've gave my apology, but you don't accept

You see a lot of people follow me

They want me to step, well um

I am who I am

I won't change

Yeah I remain

I stay the same

Fell in love with the game

But not for the fame

So simple and plain

The man I became

That's why I am who I am

(whatever you say I am)

I am who I am

(then why would I say I am)

I am who I am

(man every day I am)

I am who I am

(That's just the way I am)

And I won't change

Now is it the fact that

That cause I'm young and I'm smart

And I perfected my art

That I can pick you apart

I'm looking into the light, but I'm standing right in the dark

Is it because I'm in the spot light that now I'm a target

I don't fear no man, my religion is sharp

And I got a lot of heart man I could swim with a shark

You see I'm in it to win it

From the beginning I start

And I am marriage to this s*** till death do us apart

And I willing to bet, because I live in America

And the fact that I'm a Muslim you think I'm a terror ya'

But whenever I hear ya', talk about your thesis

Man it don't make sense, your thoughts in pieces

They showed you photo, and told you that these is

The people you should fear but we look like Jesus

And we believe him, we believe in peace

But you don't believe me

You probably think I'm a beast

well, um

I am who I am

I won't change

Yeah I remain

I stay the same

Fell in love with the game

But not for the fame

So simple and plain

The man I became

That's why I am who I am

(whatever you say I am)

I am who I am

(then why would I say I am)

I am who I am

(man every day I am)

I am who I am

(That's just the way I am)

And I won't change

So is it the fact

That I ain't make it in rap

Cause I ain't got a contract

They assume that I'm wack

But soon as I blow, you gonna be thinking I owe you

And you gon' say that I'm fake

And I'm acting like I don't know

I'm trying to get to my total

So I'm adding my ends

But at the end of the day, I be subtracting my friends

And I'm acting these rappers and y'all be gassing em' up

Cause y'all be thinking they nice

When they actually suck

And I'm willing to bet, any amount of my money

Some of you haters you hating you fake and actually love me

And as a matter of fact, I got them madder than ever

Cause every time I come back I'm getting better and better

Whoever said I was crazy

They made me go even harder

They said I couldn't ball, now they see me coaching like Carter

I got folks that a quote, the dope lines that I wrote

They say I'm high and I smoke

I'm on fire, so oh, well um

I am who I am

I won't change

Yeah I remain

I stay the same

Fell in love with the game

But not for the fame

So simple and plain

The man I became

That's why I am who I am

(whatever you say I am)

I am who I am

(then why would I say I am)

I am who I am

(man every day I am)

I am who I am

(That's just the way I am)

And I won't change

And I am, whatever I say I am

And if I wasn't then why would I say I am

In the paper, the news, everyday I am

I don't know thats just the way I am

And I am, whatever I say I am

And if I wasn't then why would I say I am

In the paper, the news, everyday I am

I don't know thats just the way I am

And I am, whatever I say I am

And if I wasn't then why would I say I am

In the paper, the news, everyday I am

I don't know thats just the way I am
