Lyrics Yes I Am - Jaqee

Ventilation is the key to the survival of my soul. If I don't speak my mind then, I'll never over stand. I can't keep hiding my emotions, just to please you and you and you. That's not what my fore fathers were fighting for.
I don't always have the courage to stand my ground. I guess it all comes from a damaged, little girl's heart and soul.
Now I know better 'cos I am still here, to tell my story unto those who listen, bare my soul so I can get some redemption.

So I am here because I should be, It Is a right and so It should be, I bless the ground
That I was born on, give thanks for the skin that I reside In.
So I am here because I should be, It Is a right and so It should be, I bless the ground that I was born on, give thanks for the skin that I reside In.

Always had the words to guide me through all my life. Even when they won't come easy, they are still there in my mind.So, I am gonna speak them with devotion, because that's what I was meant to do. Freeeee me from the chains that hold me down.
Used to hold it all against you, I know better now. You see it's all because you tried to break down a young girls heart & soul.
Now I know that I am not a looser, all I see is a warrior, filled with marks of her life and destiny.

So I am here because I should be, It Is a right and so It should be, I bless the ground
That I was born on, give thanks for the skin that I reside In.
So I am here because I should be, It Is a right and so It should be, I bless the ground that I was born on, give thanks for the skin that I reside In.
