Verse 1 (Ahmad):
Ooh I was down – I lost my crown and glory,
Fools used to clown – but now I found victory,
Cause I don’t never give up,
No – I made a promise to deliver,
So – I’m gonna… keep-on-movin’-on-til-I get-to the throne,
Ooh they don’t understand it,- but I got a plan to win,
It’s true – life is in my hands – gone play it like a mandolin,
That’s right I had to leave some fam and friends,
You wanna fly – you gotta stand the winds,
And I ain’t even gotta fake,-
I be leapin’ out in faith,
While they sleepin’ I be payin’ attention.
Chorus:
This is me – I am that!
Makin’ history – I am that!
Please believe – I am that!
I am that! – I am that! Please believe,
Oh boy - I was meant to be everything I am,
Oh boy - I was meant to be everything I am,
Oh boy - On me just wait you'll see,
I was meant to be – everything I am
Verse 2:
And this is on my mother – I put down the colors,
But I still feel funny when I'm surrounded by them others,
On everything I like – I threw away all the numbers,
But if she look again then we both gone be in trouble,
And yeah it'll cost me double – but this what I know,
Practice made perfection promise you gone reap what you sow,
Get it now – pay it later,- you gone give up what you owe,
You got a monster in your closet and he wanna do a show,
Trust me fam I know,- And I ain't tryin' to hide it,-
So watch me open up my chest man – go on and climb inside it,
If you look – you'll find it,
Buried treasure underneath the dirt, skeletons – hella sin – every single thing you heard,
On my word – I am that plus, so it's a must – that you break the surface so that you could see the real us,
And get to promise – beautiful and great,- worth the wait,
I anticipate – every single day – never late.
Chorus:
And what they said about me - I am that!
The good, bad and ugly - I am that!
What I'm gonna be - I am that!
Just you wait and see – please believe,
Oh boy - I was meant to be everything I am,
Oh boy - I was meant to be everything I am,
Oh boy - On me just wait you'll see,
I was meant to be - everything I am
Verse 3 (Jurny Big):
Now – when they was rhyming at conventions,
Climbing gospel charts I didn’t try to pay attention,
I figured “let them” – hoping that they might,
Muster up enough courage to get to an open mic,
But they never did – so clever it – ended up being,
Because the kid would've had to show them what emceeing was,
Whether front of 3 or 3000 – cats wasn’t seeing us,
And I'd-a told them that they’d-a got merked by me because,
We was the first to spit them battlin’ type verses,
And that’s when that was not allowed up in them churches,
But now-a-days everybody gone spit some rhymes,
I feel like only couple out there could get with mines,
And you’s a child of God – so how come y’all don’t climb,
But if you lookin’ for raps to stand the test of time,
I’m-a be that guy – that’s why so many hate me,
But I wouldn’t change a thing – cause that’s just how He made me.
Chorus:
I’m humble nuff not to stumble – I am that!
But not so humble that I mumble – I am that!
I stay up in them circles – I am that!
Don’t let that gospel rapper hurt you – please believe,
Oh boy - I was meant to be everything I am,
Oh boy - I was meant to be everything I am,
Oh boy - On me just wait you'll see,
I was meant to be - everything I am
Outro:
Ay ay ay ay ay – I am that!
Ay ay ay ay ay – I am that!
Ay ay ay ay ay – I am that!
Ay ay ay ay ay – I am that!
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay!
I was meant to be everything I am,
Oh boy - I was meant to be everything I am,
Oh boy - On me just wait you'll see,
I was meant to be - everything I am
