I Am

Project: Personal Statement
Daquan performs a the first verse of Novel & Talib Kweli's "I Am"



I am, reverends' future black president.
I'm what you see rollin' every day through your residence
Windows tinted, young and relentless
To the cops, I'm a suspect that fits the description
But I am not a hoodlum, I'm not an abuser
I'm sort of a connoisseur slash entrepreneur.
I've seen a lot of people grow, some went, some came
Rappers are next-generation s*** but I am change.
At the age of 14 they said I'd be non-existent,
It's that, or pleading the trial or being convicted.
I guess since I'm alive then I beat the statistics
Y'all can all kiss my butt when I am rich.
I'm the sun, I'm light,
I'm much more than your bling or the shine off your ice
I'm as, free as a spirit, I'm as fly as a bird
I'm whatever I wanna be as long as I am heard
Cause I am...


Daquan and Tim dig into more of what "I Am" means...
