Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I may have accidentily found my way
Throw my cares away
I might as well be a ok
It all happens for a reason so they say
I won't stand in the way
None of us have control
Maybe its time we all let go
WIshing that it could be
But its not for us to undertand
And lately when the pressure starts to break me
I don't fight or run for safety
I just smile throw up my hands
Cause this is who I am
Iv'e fought the fights Iv'e walked alone with my wounds and searchrd for truth away from home
Been out to prove you wrong
Iv'e paid the cost to play the fool
Won and lost
I think Iv'e broken all the rules
Dying seems so cool
None of us have control
Maybe its time we all let go
And no one said it would be easy
Wishing that it could be
But its not for us to understand
And lately when the pressure starts to break me
I don't cry or run for safety
I just smile throw up my hands
Cause this is who I am
Played the game and I guess it's just my time that I make my stand damnit Iv'e been everything but me for yall
but not no mo pretendings ending no breaking no bending no faking no blending
Iv'e been fighting defending all the lies you got to be kidding me I know me better than anyone else that I know
I swear
Gonna grow my hair or maybe cut it what if I dont what if I do whats it to you
I didn't stu stu stutter leave it or love it brother yeah yeah yeah
No one said it would be easy
Wishing that it could be
But its not for us to understand
When the pressure starts to break me
I don't fight or run for safety
I just smile throw up my hands
Cause this is who I am
In the song "Who I Am" by Danny Boone, the artist reflects on his personal journey of self-discovery and acceptance. He acknowledges that life is unpredictable and there are many obstacles that people face, but he has come to terms with the fact that he has no control over these things. The lyrics "None of us have control, maybe it's time we all let go" emphasize the theme of relinquishing control and accepting what life throws your way. Boone also mentions that he has fought many battles and made mistakes along the way, but he has learned from them and has grown as a person. This is evident in the lines "I've fought the fights, I've walked alone with my wounds and searched for truth away from home." Boone ultimately reaches a point where he feels comfortable in his own skin and is proud to be himself, flaws and all.
The song is a message of empowerment and self-acceptance. It encourages listeners to embrace their true selves and not be afraid to let go of the things they cannot control. The lyrics are relatable and serve as a reminder that everyone has struggles and challenges they face, but it is important to stay true to oneself and keep moving forward.

I’m so thankful for my dad playing bottles and cans around me when I was little because I discovered a legend.

Rehab is the best band never to make it mainstream. I love the whole network they have going on down there in Georgia. Shout out to Jawga Boys, Demun, Dez, Bubba and everyone I may be missing. Also check out Earth Island records for the Kentucky network they have going on. Villebillies/Bass Drum Aliens, Elephant Room/ Shevy Chase...listen if u never heard..Mass love from Cincinnati

I heard this song a long time ago. My brother, Terry, had a cassette tape of Danny and gave it to me. This was before Rehab. I knew back then that this was a damn good song. Was pleasantly surprised when it was finally recorded and released.... wish my brother would have been here to see it. 🖤❤🖤❤
