Brandy - Who I Am

Who I Am by Brandy on the ablum Afrodisiac (2004)

Thank you for all the tears, all the stress
You're the best
I feel blessed
I'm a better woman now
Look how I smile
All you did was help the next man
Cause this experience made me who I am

I tried to make me love ya
I tried to make me stay
But every time I tried, myself and I got in the way
And just for the sake of my daughter
I tried to stick to the plan
But I had to get rid of the weight on my fourth finger, left hand

To everybody listenin'
Sorry if you're disappointed
You see the life I chose was only what I thought I wanted
Nothing's picture perfect
Looks can be deceivin'
But what I thought was love was something I could not believe in

Thank you for all the tears, all the stress
You're the best
I feel blessed
I'm a better woman now
Look how I smile
All you did was help the next man
Cause this experience made me who I am

I always had that feelin'
The baby boy was cheatin'
I kept tellin' myself, "if you ain't happy Brand, just leave him"
I wasn't raised to quit
Cause quitters never win
But what do you gain, if you feel incomplete within

I'm sick of all the questions
All the words and why's
What happened, why'd y'all break up, why we never see you cry
But do you know how it feels
To hurt behind closed doors
And when you go outside, you're wonderin' why you're smilin' for

Thank you for all the tears, all the stress
You're the best
I feel blessed
I'm a better woman now
Look how I smile
All you did was help the next man
Cause this experience made me who I am

Now that it's over I can live
Now all you had belongs to him
My heart is open like a book
And everything he eats I cook

What I'm to him, he is to me
We are each other's everything
But if I would've stayed with you
I wouldn't have it like I do

Thank you for all the tears, all the stress
You're the best
I feel blessed
I'm a better woman now
Look how I smile
All you did was help the next man
Cause this experience made me who I am (x2)

I think this is Brandy's most underrated album...Aside from Human, but this album is so edgy and has so many different sounds....

Seriously, this song made me lose ALL bitterness towards my ex. I need to be thanking his loser ass for making me the woman I am now :O)

I Have to thank Brandy for her album "Afrodisiac" , cause without this album there won't be a Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" album .

She influenced one my favorite artists and i'm waiting for her comeback in 2012 :)

I don't freakin get it. Brandy is the absolute truth but she doesn't get the recognition that she so deserves, it's so annoying. I love me some Beyonce' but she isn't the only talented chick in the game. Big props to Monica for consistently staying relevant musically. Now I need for my Brandy to come back with a vengeance.

@hamrto I totally agree with you. Hopefully she will come back out as hard as she came on this album.
