Identity by Efrain Lyrics

(Chorus)
I finally understand who i'm meant to be
I finally understand my identity
/I finally understand, I finally understand/
Oh I
I finally
I understand
My identity
/I finally understand, I finally understand/
I finally understand who i'm meant to be
I finally understand my identity
I finally understand, I finally understand
Oh yeah

(Verse 1)
I come from a town
Mostly of hispanics
Including me as well
I didn't understand it
Where's everyone else
So I went and explored
And that's when I learned more
Of how they viewed my kind
The way they classify
They make us look so low
They treat us like we broke
They think that we just mow
And work what others don't
Never higher class
Or anything like that
And if you ever are
You better step back
So I became ashamed
I was so afraid
Of being viewed the same
I could try to be someone
That i'm really not
Or I could just embrace
In who God chose to make
I didn't choose my skin
But now I'm loving it
(Chorus)

(Verse 2)
I used to try to fit in
With everyone around me
Never seemed to get it
That it was never bout me
I tried my best
To find this rest
Be accepted
When all of this time
You were right there
You showed me care
You showed forgiveness and love, yeah
You knew my past and future, but
You stayed right by me although I messed up
You care for me and for all of my needs
You are my God and my identity
You showed mercy and you made me so clean
Now I finally understand
Yeah I finally understand
Who I'm meant to be

(Chorus)
