[Verse 1] They look me up and down Like I owe them the sky Spit my name like a bruise Try to teach me how to die Mud on my shoes Blood in my throat I learned the hard way How to stay afloat [Pre-Chorus] Say I'm too loud Say I'm too rough I wear my scars Like proof enough You want me bent You want me small But I was built To hit back at all [Chorus] I am what I am Say it again I am what I am I don't bend I wear my break Like a crown of steel I won't change I won't kneel (I won't kneel) [Verse 2] Mouth full of judgment Hands full of stone You fed me your poison I made it my bone Every wound you gave Turned into spark Now I walk through fire And I leave a mark [Pre-Chorus] Say I'm too proud Say I'm too strong I held that line My whole life long You want control You want my shame But I made my heart My own last name [Chorus] I am what I am Say it again I am what I am I don't bend I wear my break Like a crown of steel I won't change I won't kneel (I won't kneel) [Bridge] Let them stare Let them talk I built this body From a broken walk If I am hard If I am loud That's just the sound Of me standing proud [Chorus] I am what I am Say it again I am what I am I don't bend I wear my break Like a crown of steel I won't change I won't kneel (I won't kneel)
