I Am Who I Am - Empire Cast/Jussie Smollett

I'm so lost in this fog of this mirror

I'm in between two places

And now I'm struggling

Said it's so so hard for me to do in the middle of world

I know I must stay strong

This is crazy how in the world did this happen

Feel like I'm caught in this habit

'Cause I'm stuck in between wrong and doing right

Tryna cope with how I feel

Confusing myself with what's real

I get twisted just to make it through the night

Standing in the middle of all this corruption

I am with the one to make the difference

I'm stronger than the Lyon in my blood

You know I know

I'm never gonna be never like you

Never gonna do things that you do

Never gonna be out of control

Losing my soul just to say I love you more

I'm never gonna be never like you

Never gonna do things that you do

Never gonna be out of control

Losing my soul just to say I love you more

Nothing like my father

Oh no nothing like my mother

Oh no nothing like my brothers

I'm not them I am who I am

Nothing like my father

Oh no nothing like my mother

Oh no nothing like my brothers

I'm not them I am

You call this family

When we don't listen to each other

And we don't respect one another

This is chaos

And I don't understand how if you say that you love me

You can put so much above me

Steady to use me

Just to built our family's name

I'm stronger than the Lyon in my blood

You know I know

Oh no

I'm never gonna be never like you

Never gonna do things that you do

Never gonna be out of control

Losing my soul just to say I love you

I'm never gonna be never like you

Never gonna do things that you do

Never gonna be out of control

Losing my soul just to say

Oh no nothing like my father

Oh no nothing like my mother

Oh no nothing like my brothers

I'm not them I am who I am

Oh no nothing like my father

Oh no nothing like my mother

Oh no nothing like my brothers

I'm not them I am who I am

That's who I am
