I Am lyrics - Jorja Smith & Kendrick Lamar

 (from "Black Panther" soundtrack)

Try it if it feels right (try it)

Try it if it feels right, yah

When you try

Ohh, ohh

[Jorja Smith:]

I'm trying

I'm just, I'm just

I been out here tryin' to see my homecoming

And of course somebody is always gonna say something

Try and shoot me down for voicing my own opinion

Triggering a part of me that's always been indifferent

And I know that we have asked for change

Don't be scared to put the fears to shame

When you know what you got

Sacrifice ain't that hard

Feel like depending on me

Sometimes we ain't meant to be free

When you know what you got

Sacrifice ain't that hard

Feel like depending on me

Sometimes we ain't meant to be free

Open up this letter, you ain't tryin' to be

You been blind to the subject but not blind to me

And I know that this margin ain't too small to me

Not too real, not too much anymore, not alone

And I know that we have asked for change

Don't be scared to put the fears to shame

When you know what you got

Sacrifice ain't that hard

Feel like depending on me

Sometimes we ain't meant to be free

When you know what you got

Sacrifice ain't that hard

Feel like depending on me

Sometimes we ain't meant to be free

[Jorja Smith (Kendrick Lamar):]

If who I am offends you

Don't feel sorry

Don't feel, don't feel sorry

Don't feel, don't feel sorry

(My loss is worth more than your wins)

(I'm satisfied if it starts to look in)

That is everything, that is everything, that is everything

That is everything

That is everything

I try to make it stop

I do want you want to stop

I try to make it stop

I do want you want to stop

I try to make it stop

I do want you want to stop

I try to make it stop

I do want you want to stop

I try to make it stop

I do want you want to stop
