It Is What It Is |
I’ve been obnoxious, I’ve been unconscious, |
I’ve been all kind of things that are hard to spell. |
I’ve been unruly, speaking truly, |
I’ve been so cool I couldn’t hardly even stand myself. |
I’ve been a monster, without a sponsor, |
I’ve been Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. |
I’ve been a goner, I’ve been a loner, |
And when my mixture was right, |
I’m a nice bunch of guys. |
I am what I am cause I ain’t what I used to be. |
'Cause it is what it is but it ain’t what it used to be. |
I’ve been a mover, I was a shaker, |
He had a girlfriend, I tried to snake her. |
I been mysterious, I been delirious, |
I been so weird it woulda killed a normal man. |
I wanted money, I wanted power, |
I want a monument kinda like the Eiffel Tower. |
I been lost at sea, I been lost in space, |
And when I fall in love I fall all over the place. |
I am what I am cause I ain’t what I used to be. |
(oooh, yeah) |
Cause it is what it is but it ain’t what it used to be. |
Spoken: Well, tell 'em about it |
And you can go on forever and make the same mistakes, |
Or you can stand up on your hind legs and change your fate. |
Go on and do it till you finally see, |
What it is that it was that you don’t want to be. |
Spoken: Walking tall, hoo! |
I was an outlaw, I was an in-law, |
I was a scapegoat, that was the last straw. |
I hit the highway, singin' my way, |
But it wound up sounding like 'you'll never walk alone'. |
I got a story, reflected glory, |
Is the way that I been seeing for most of my life. |
I heard the laughter, up in the rafters, |
But I never ever thought that the joke was on me. |
I am what I am cause I ain’t what I used to be. |
(Spoken: well, maybe just a |
little.) |
Cause it is what it is but it ain’t what it used to be. |
Yeah, I am what I am cause I ain’t what I used to be. |
Cause it is what it is but it ain’t what it used to be. |
