Lyrics for I Am That I Am

I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations Neither are you here to live up to mine, yeah I don't owe no one no obligation No one owe me none So everything is fine, fine I said I am that I am I am, I am, I am I am that I am I am, I am, I am I am that I am I am, I am, I am I am that I am I am, I am, I am Don't underestimate my ability Don't definate my character Don't belittle my authority It's time you recognize my quality I said I am that I am I am, I am, I am I am that I am I am, I am, I am I said I am that I am I am, I am, I am I am that I am I am, I am, I am Learn to love To love your brother Don't covet your neighbor Flee from the city It's getting shitty It is full of out-equity I said I am that I am I am, I am, I am I am that I am I am, I am, I am I am that I am I am, I am, I am I am the rock of the ages You cannot move I at all I am the son of lightning You cannot move I at all Son of Jacob Cannot move me at all I am the son of Moses You can't move I at all I am the son of David You cannot move I at all I am a firm ripe diamond You cannot move I at all You could a shed more tears You cannot move I at all You could a full of evil You cannot move I at all You could a try more nuttin' You cannot move I at all And you can try make a-something But that can't move I at all And could a come with ism You can't move I at all And if you come with skism That can't move I at all
