Who Am I? by Jodie Jermaine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What do I really believe? The seasons have made me question it
Before the seed can become a tree meet a need
I guess dyings the prerequisite
I used to fight that I was destined but the evidence is stacked
So many of us act like we have it all together
Cuz' we fear our handicaps
As if everyone around us doesn’t have their own
You can see them from the streets to your pastor's home
That’s why the father sent his chaperone
Cuz' we are inept without him we’re bastards on this planet
How come we claim this standard when truthfully all are damaged Like who we pretending for?
We’re all men at war perfect people can it
I’ll get candid on this track cuz the hurt ones we never listen for
We look down our nose like we’re disgusted by evil
But we are wicked we use religion as fences to keep us safe
These defenses I’ve lost count of those
They preach the hard truth
But to those who know it if that’s sounding bold I’m weak then
[Chorus]
I hear this voice tell me run away but
Deep down I want to stay I don’t know I don’t know
Am I really just a big mistake or am I here for something more?
I want to know, know who I am
Who am I?
Know who I am...
Who am I?
[Verse 2]
So why be ashamed of our uncertainty?
Asking questions ain’t hurting no one
Big world big God I know he gon show up
He said that would have trouble
Ain’t that what he told us but we are overcomers
Even on days we fail if we believe on him
He said he paid the bill so why we bring these filthy rags
And weigh the scale-like look I’m righteous if that’s strength then Father make me frail don’t care if you like this I’m just being Jodie First time in my life that I can say it’s real
I can heal they can heal take the hill
Move a mountain Satan chill father
I am safe in here in your presence undeserved done with having Hope deferred I don’t need to wait my turn I'm favored
And my souls assured giving you this shoulder weight
I don’t need to hold these hurts Holy Spirit go to work
I know I’m not the only one that wrestles in the night
Hearing devils in the silence and they never speak polite
Touch your people so they never have to question who am I...
[Chorus]
I hear this voice tell me run away but
Deep down I want to stay I don’t know I don’t know
Am I really just a big mistake or am I here for something more?
I want to know, know who I am
Who am I?
Know who I am...
Who am I?
What do I really believe? The seasons have made me question it
Before the seed can become a tree meet a need
