This Is Who I Am

Ain't no preacher, ain't no saint I done walk through fire, learn to love the pain I've been knocked down, got back up Ain't nobody gave me nothing, had to build it up They don't know the nights, I prayed alone Tryna find my past, tryna right my wrongs I ain't perfect, never claimed to be But I'm standing right here, and I'm still me I ain't running, I ain't hiding Took my losses, now I'm riding This is who I am, all I got Ain't ashamed of what I'm not Every tear, every fight Only made me come alive This is who I am, take it or leave Ain't no mask, just what you see Ain't no weight, ain't no lie I walk my road with my head high I've been broke, I've been lost Had to pay the price, had to take the cost Ain't no pity, don't need no grace I just keep on pushing, never out of place They said I'd never make it past my name But I turned my past into something great Ain't no regrets, ain't no shame If I had to do it over, I'd do it the same I ain't running, I ain't hiding Took my losses, now I'm riding This is who I am, all I got Ain't ashamed of what I'm not Every tear, every fight Only made me come alive This is who I am, take it or leave Ain't no mask, just what you see Ain't no weight, ain't no lies I walk my road with my head high Ooh, every time I fell behind Ooh, every tear turned to strength inside I kept moving, I stayed real Now I know just how to feel This is who I am, all I got Ain't ashamed of what I'm not Every tear, every fight Only made me come alive This is who I am, take it or leave Ain't no mask, just what you see Ain't no weight, ain't no lies I walk my road with my head high No more doubt, no more fear I'm still here
