I Am Lyrics

[Intro]
Try it if it feels right (try it)
Try it if it feels right, yeah
When you try, oh, oh

[Verse 1: Jorja Smith]
I'm tryin'
I'm just, yeah, I'm just, yeah
I been out here tryin' to see my homecoming
And of course, somebody's always gonna say something
Try and shoot me down for voicin' my own opinion
Triggerin' a part of me that's always been indifferent

[Pre-Chorus: Jorja Smith]
And I know that we have asked for change
Don't be scared to put the fears to shame

[Chorus: Jorja Smith]
When you know what you got, sacrifice ain't that hard
Feel like dependin' on me, sometimes we ain't meant to be free
When you know what you got, sacrifice ain't that hard
Feel like dependin' on me, sometimes we ain't meant to be free

[Verse 2: Jorja Smith]
Open up this letter you ain't tryin' to read
You've been blind to the subject but not blind to me
And I know that this margin ain't too small for me
Not too real, not too much anymore, not enough

[Pre-Chorus: Jorja Smith]
And I know that we have asked for change
Don't be scared to put the fears to shame

[Chorus: Jorja Smith]
When you know what you got, sacrifice ain't that hard
Feel like dependin' on me, sometimes we ain't meant to be free
When you know what you got, sacrifice ain't that hard
Feel like dependin' on me, sometimes we ain't meant to be free

[Outro: 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 pray it will stop
I try to make it stop, I pray it will stop
I, stop, I am what you not
I try to make it stop, I pray it will stop
I try to make it stop, I pray it will stop
I try to make it stop, I pray it will stop
I, stop, I am what you not
I try to make it stop, I pray it will stop

Jorja Smith is an English singer from Walsall, UK. Smith impressed many and earned attention with her hip-hop and R&B-inspired debut single "Blue Lights" and has taken the rest of the year to deliver songs that fuse soul, blues, and even classical. She spent much of 2016 getting people very excited about her effortless, informed, and deeply soulful pop with a trio of eclectic singles. Her first EP Project 11 arrives so perfectly formed it almost feels like showing off. Many songs mark Smith out as her hero Amy Winehouse’s truest successor.

Smith has been performing since the age of 8 and writing songs since 11, amassing a broad catalog of mostly unreleased tracks that skew from pop to modern soul. One of the earliest songs she remembers writing was called “High Street,” about when all the stores in her hometown of Walsall, in the midwest of England, closed during the economic recession of the late-’00s, leaving behind a hollow ghost town. Walsall is a run-down place, Smith said, with “a lot of creative people, but not many possibilities.”
