I Am What I Am
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't care what you think of me
I don't care what you see
Take a look at yourself some time
That's where your focus should be
This is all that I paid to see
All I ever want to be
(Necessary madness)
Necessary madness
Just enough to set me free
I am what I am
What's your master plan?
Take your misplaced victory
And bury your head in the sand
I don't want what you got for me
What I am is where I stand
And I say
This is all that I paid to see
All I ever want to be
(Necessary madness)
Necessary madness
Just enough to set me free
I am what I am
What's your master plan?
Come on down and prove me wrong
Or go back where you belong
I am what I am
What's your master plan?
Come on down and prove me wrong
Or go back where you belong
Back where you belong
I am what I am
What's your master plan?
Come on down and prove me wrong
Or go back where you belong
Back where you belong
I am what I am
This is all that I paid to see
What's your master plan?
All I ever want to be
Come on down and prove me wrong
Necessary madness
Or go back where you belong
I am what I am
