I Am What I Am Lyrics

I Am What I Am lyrics

I (Belew/Omega)
"Friends seen an` unseen...to you that are ridin` along
in your automobile...to you that are sitting at you table
I greet you with the holy word `Peace`...
for with my infinite mind I thinks constructively...
and I`m able to draw whatsaever I want into my immediate
surroundin`...for yo` minds are my mind 
and my mind is yo` mind and I`m sendin` out 
my mind to you, you, an` you...
You`ve got to remain to bein` yourself...you cannot be
nobody else, it ain`t no use tryin` bein` no whirlwind
an` uh, jumpin` here an` an` playin` checkers with
your own life, that ain`t gonna work, baby...
Now repeat these words behind me:
`I am what I am`...now that`s all you are...
you are what you believe you are...stretch out
So many of you all in Radioland, you`re not stretchin` out...
but I want to say one thing to you today...it makes no
differen` who you are, what you`re doin`, what you`re
tryin` to do or want to do, repeat these words
`I am what I am and that`s all I am...is what I am`...
that`s all I, look, that, that`s all I am is what I am...and I`m it
Make no differen` whether it`s in the mornin`,
the evenin`, or in the night time...
hair breakin` out, bald headed...it`s the same thing...
you are what you believe you are
`Cause some of you all are sittin` there right now,
amen, an` tell if you had a necktie on yo`, on now, right now,
a whirlwind would come along an` choke you to death,
that`s how bad luck some of you all in...
some of you all in such a bad luck right now 
that you couldn`t hit a barn with a baseball bat...
some of you all in such a bad luck right now, amen,
if you was to sit down by-a-by-men, by a pond, amen,
somethin` would come up an` stick ya`
you just in that bad a` luck...
I am what I am...now repeat this behind me:
`I am what I am and that is all I am and I am it`...
Yes, I know what you`re sayin`...stretch out...oh, yes...stretch out"
