As I am
Don'tTell me what's inTell me how to writeDon't tell me how to winThis fightIsn't your lifeIt isn't your rightTo take the only thing that'smine
Proven over timeIt is over your head
Don't try to read between theLinesAre clearly defined"Never lose sight ofSomething you believe in"
Taking in the view from the outsideFeeling like the underdogWatching through the window I'm on the outsideLiving like the underdog
I've been trying to justify youIn the end I will just defy you
To those who understand, I extend my handTo the doubtful I demand, take me as I amNot under your command, I know where I standI won't change to fix your plan, Take me as I am
As I am
StillRunning uphillSwimming against the currentI wish I weren't soFuckedFeels like I'm stuckLost in a sea of mediocrity
Slow down,You're thinking too muchWhere is your soul?You cannot touchThe way IPlayOr tell me what to sayYou're in the wayOf all that I believe in
Taking in the view from the outsideFeeling like the underdogWatching through the window I'm on the outsideLiving like the underdogI've been wasting my breath on youOpen minds will descend upon you
To those who understand, I extend my handTo the doubtful I demand, take me as I amNot under your command, I know where I standI won't change to fix your plan, take me as I am
To those who understand, I extend my handTo the doubtful I demand, take me as I amNot under your command, I know where I standI won't change to fix your plan, take me as I am
As I am
Yeah
As I am
