I am what I am
A smart know it all
Born in aldea la felizidad sector 4, Guatemala
Were you can do whatever you want
If you didn’t wanted to go to school you just don’t go
I am what I am
But what exactly am I
A kid or a teenager
I am what I am
A piece of a puzzle in a box
Misplace in the wrong place
Waiting to be taken out
I am what I am
A brown skinned human with black eyes that is darker than the dark of the night
I am what I am
The kid that people call Mexican
But don’t led the color of my skin fool you
Next time you call me Mexican you will be surprised because
I am 100% guatemalteco
I am what I am the hard working guy that you see practicing on the courts
And the one who wants to play professional tennis
I am what I am
The kid you call nerd
Watch out because
In the future you might be calling me boss
I am what I am
The kid who likes those delicious chicken tamales made by my mother
But that is just part of my culture
And I am proud of it
I am what I am
