Lyrics for Am I

Am I a killer with a gun, shooting rounds of inspiration Or an agitator, wanting to control the situation? Am I a brother 'pon the corner, that you cannot ignore Or the evil in your life that cuts right to the core? Am I a new-age therapist, spreading fear and disease Or a master being, trying to be on two eyes and fleas? Am I a warrior in a battle, between war and peace Or a mind-managing waiting to be unleashed? Am I a shaking and rumbling with a nerve of steel Or a stumbling wind that nobody can feel? Am I a chemical mixing up a weapon of construction Or an elevator moving in a lateral direction? Am I a pilot flying in the flow on the wings of a jet Or an assassin paid to execute remorse and regret? Am I a colonizer breaking the chains for liberation Or an activist too scared to fight the revolution? I'm neither wrong or right, neither black or white Cut straight down the middle like a surgical knife I'm neither wrong or right, neither black or white Cut straight down the middle like a surgical knife I'm neither wrong or right, neither black or white Cut straight down the middle like a surgical knife I'm neither wrong or right, neither black or white Cut straight down the middle like a surgical knife Am I a dead man walking, talking I'm seething Or a class man praying without no belief? Am I a hard man painting a pattern of frustration Or a pacifist wanting to bomb another nation? Am I a dark cloud spreading light and introspection Or a detonator ticking in the wrong direction? Am I a sinner feeling shame for the things I should've done Or a father too bold to embrace his own son? Am I a collective thought inside of a twisted mind Or a drug-fueled addiction of the spiritual kind? Am I a soundwave traveling at the speed of light Or a vampire frightened of the afterlife? Am I a judgment masquerading as a moment of glory Or a hostile alien killing all before me? Am I a deep-rooted shame that you want to express Or a stripper in a bar too free to undress? I'm neither wrong or right, neither black or white Cut straight down the middle like a surgical knife I'm neither wrong or right, neither black or white Cut straight down the middle like a surgical knife I'm neither wrong or right, neither black or white Cut straight down the middle like a surgical knife I'm neither wrong or right, neither black or white Cut straight down the middle like a surgical knife
