I Am - Bun B

Well I am black and I’m proud of it

Stack up my dollars, get paid, in P.A.

I’m gon' holler it

Bull shit, I’m tryna be tolerant

But all I know is how to be dominant, so dope shit I must fit

Do this for the streets where most people never drive

And goin' into the store for a Swisha could cost your life

Livin' in the city where the dirty niggas thrive

And the hard working mothafucka just tryna survive

You see the swangas and people I hang with

Call us public nuisances doin' drugs or some gang shit

But see, we lookin' at the same shit

So we just gotta find a common language, so we can better frame shit

Feud is in the eye of the beholder

So before you turn a cold shoulder and judge a nigga, hol' up

Don’t be selective, take a look at life from my perspective

And walk a mile in Jordans, it’s hectic

Because we gotta do better, we gotta be smarter

We gotta be focused, we gotta go harder

We gotta honor our mothers and honor our fathers

We gotta take care of our sons and take care of our daughters

Keep these playa haters from around us

And leave the world better than it found us

Keep God first and everything else will follow

And that’s the way we lead to a better tomorrow

To a better tomorrow

Well I am trill and I better be Bun to the letter B

They need an OG, that’s what I let 'em see

Keep haters behind me and my blessings ahead of me

My family on the side of me, movin' forward steadily

Yeah people talk down, but I ain’t let it get to me

I use they hatin' to my advantage and made a better me

So when they thought I was less than

I turned that shit into a lesson on not how to hate it on the next man

Now I don’t know when and what neighborhood you grew up

But you can’t win tearing me down to lift you up

Knock me off my feet, somebody knock you off of yours

Try for that bucket, the only one winnin' is Pappadeaux

Look, i know we ain’t the same man, but we livin' on the same land

So we just need a better game plan

There’s smarter ways to approach it

So we can come up for real and get up off that roach and that’s the notion

'Cause we gotta do better, we gotta be smarter

We gotta be focused, we gotta go harder

We gotta honor our mothers and honor our fathers

We gotta take care of our sons and take care of our daughters

Keep these playa haters from around us

And leave the world better than it found us

Keep God first and everything else will follow

And that’s the way we lead to a better tomorrow

To a better tomorrow

Well I am grateful even when niggas hateful

'Cause I serve a truer living God, keepin' my plate full

I’m never hungry, broke, or even thirsty

'Cause I know to wake up and give Him His praise firstly

Secondly, keep all eyes open for niggas thinkin' that they checkin' me

And make it clear there will be no disrespectin' me

See, you can live yo life however you feel

But me, myself, and I, we gon' forever be trill

And I’m still dodgin' the devil baby 'cause I’m blessed still

Reppin' for the Pimp, ABN, Mob, and still

Reppin' for Port Arthur and the whole south still

Spittin' this trill shit outta my whole mouth

And I’mma hold out instead of giving up

And shit, until the day I’m gone I’mma live it up

Doing what I gotta do for me and my fam

So I don’t know if you keepin' it trill, but I am

I am
