I am

"I have come to realize that I am like an old 20-dollar bill--crumpled, torn, dirt, abused and scarred. But I am still a 20-dollar bill. I am worth something. Even though I may not look like much and even though I have been battered and used, I am still worth the full 20 dollars."

They try to tear me down

Drown in the sound of doubt

Drown in the pound of cant

But I can

They try to tear me down

Find reasons to frown

Find reasons to take my crown

But they cant

They try to tear me down

But I found I am proud

I am loud

I am renown

I rule this town

I am

I am

They try to tear me down

But they cant

I am battered

I am bruised

I am used

I am beat

It doesn't matter

I refuse,

To lose

I am elite
