    As I Am

    Don't
    Tell me what's in
    Tell me how to write
    Don't tell me how to win
    This fight
    Isn't your life
    It isn't your right
    To take the only thing that's
    Mine
    Proven over time
    It's over your head
    Don't try to read between the
    Lines
    Are clearly defined
    Never lose sight of
    Something you believe in
    Takin' in the view from the outside
    Feeling like the underdog
    Watching through the window I'm on the outside
    Living like the underdog
    I've been trying to justify you
    In the end I will just defy you
    To those who understand, I extend my hand
    To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
    Not under your command, I know where I stand
    I won't change to fit your plan, Take me as I am
    As I am
    Still
    Running uphill
    Swimming against the current
    I wish I weren't so
    Fucked
    Feels like I'm stuck
    Lost in a sea of mediocrity
    ''Slow down,
    You're thinking too much
    Where is your soul?''
    You cannot touch
    The way I
    Play
    Or tell me what to say
    You're in the way
    Of all that I believe in
    Takin' in the view from the outside
    Feeling like the underdog
    Watching through the window I'm on the outside
    Living like the underdog
    I've been wasting my breath on you
    Open minds will descend upon you
    To those who understand, I extend my hand
    To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
    Not under your command, I know where I stand
