I am, I am, what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am, I'll be, I'll be 
I am, I am, what I am, what I am, for the rights, for the rights, of man, hey 


People have the right to be just who they are 
People have the right to share all of their love 
People have the right to share just what they give 
The right to their free will. 


I did not choose the way I am, I did not choose the way I am, 
I said I am what I am, This is my fellow man 
I did not choose the way I a-a-am, I did not choose the way I am,
I said I am what I a-a-am, Please try to understand, 
I did not choose the way I a-a-am, I did not choose the way I am 
I said I am what I a-a-am, I am just a man, 
I was born into this wor-or-orld, Born into this world, 
I said I am what I a-a-am, I am what I am, hey, alright 


Say it, say it y'all 
I am, I am, what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am, I'll be, hey, alright 
I am, I am, what I am, what I am, for the rights, for the rights, of man, listen here 


People have the right, regardless of their skin 
People have the right to let God's love come in 
People have the right to truly be your friend 
To love is not a sin. 


I did not choose the way I am, I did not choose the way I am, 
I said I am what I am, This is my fellow man 
I did not choose the way I a-a-am, I did not choose the way I am,
I said I am what I a-a-am, Please try to understand, 
I did not choose the way I a-a-am, I did not choose the way I am 
I said I am what I a-a-am, I am just a man, 
I was born into this wor-or-orld, Born into this world, 
I said I am what I a-a-am, I am what I am, hey 


Everybody, everybody say it with me y'all 
I am, I am, what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am, I'll be, hey, alright 
I am, what I am, what I am, what I am, for the rights, for the rights, of man, yeah 


People have the right to live with who they please 
People have the right to live there happily 
No one has the right to choose my love for me 
I was born free. 


I did not choose the way I am, I did not choose the way I am, 
I said I am what I am, This is my fellow man 
I did not choose the way I a-a-am, I did not choose the way I am,
I said I am what I a-a-am, Please try to understand, 
I did not choose the way I a-a-am, I did not choose the way I am 
I said I am what I a-a-am, I am just a man, 
I was born into this wor-or-orld, Born into this world, 
Oh, I am what I a-a-am, I am what I am, hey 


I did not choose the way I am, I did not choose the way I am, 
I said I am what I am, This is my fellow man 
I did not choose the way I a-a-am, I did not choose the way I am,
I said I am what I a-a-am, Please try to understand, 
I did not choose the way I a-a-am, I did not choose the way I am 
I said I am what I a-a-am, I am just a man, 
I did not choose the way I a-a-am, Born into this world, 
Hey, I am what I a-a-am, I am what I am
