[Verse 1]
I came in light, then heavy
Pocket full of stones and levy
Mama said move too steady
I learned that early
Bones show when the shirt hang loose
Still I walk like I got proof
Cold room, I bring the truth
Yeah, I bring the heat
They ask what I’m made of
Pain and a little faith, love
Hands on the table, I don’t bluff
I don’t play tough
[Pre-Chorus]
Look at me close
I don’t fold, I don’t fold
Say my name low
But you know, you know
[Chorus]
Who I be, who I be
Stick bones, big spirit, you see
Who I be, who I be
Still standing, still winning, that’s me
Who I be, who I be
(Who I be) you can’t break this piece
Who I be, who I be
Stick bones, big spirit, you see
[Verse 2]
Scuffed-up shoes on the curb line
Still I shine when it’s my time
Old wounds, but the verse fine
I turned scars to lines
I kept my face when it got rough
Kept my name when it got loud
If I’m alone, that’s enough
I don’t need a crowd
They tried to read me like a note
Missed the fire in my coat
I been built from the broke
And I’m built to go
[Pre-Chorus]
Look at me close
I don’t fold, I don’t fold
Say my name low
But you know, you know
[Chorus]
Who I be, who I be
Stick bones, big spirit, you see
Who I be, who I be
Still standing, still winning, that’s me
Who I be, who I be
(Who I be) you can’t break this piece
Who I be, who I be
Stick bones, big spirit, you see
[Bridge]
If I shake, I shake once
Then I come back straighter
If they count me out
I count bigger later
I’m still here
I’m still here
(Still here)
Let ’em stare
[Chorus]
Who I be, who I be
Stick bones, big spirit, you see
Who I be, who I be
Still standing, still winning, that’s me
Who I be, who I be
(Who I be) you can’t break this piece
Who I be, who I be
Stick bones, big spirit, you see
