(Verse 1-Novel)
I am, reverends' future black president.
I'm what you see rollin' every day through your resident
Windows tinted, young and relentless
To the cops, I'm a suspect that fits the description
But I am, not a hoodlum, I'm not an abuser
I'm sort of a connoisseur slash entrepreneur.
I've seen a lot of people grow, some went, some came
Rappers are next-generation shit but I am change.
At the age of 21 they said I'd be non-existent,
It's that, or pleading the trial or being convicted.
I guess since I'm alive then I beat the statistics
Y'all can all kiss my ass when I am rich.
I'm the sun, I'm light,
I'm much more than your bling or the shine off your ice
I'm as, free as a spirit, I'm as fly as a bird
I'm whatever I wanna be as long as I am heard
Cause I am...

(Chorus)
I am I am I am
Eternal to the light I am I am
I'm a product of the ghetto, my father's boy,
A brother to my sister, my mother's pride and joy, I am
I am I am I am
The king of all knights I am I am
I'm the blade of the knife, that slaughtered the lamb
The greatest sacrifice, the son of Abraham

(Verse 2-Talib Kweli)
I am C-E-O, H-N-I-C
B-K-M-C, Talib Kweli
My name roll off the tongue like L-M-N-O-P
See I am at touch, you can IM me.
I'm not nobody's toy, I'm not nobody's boy
I am someone's man, I am someone's joy
I am the voice, I am the truth
I am the choice, I am the proof.
Like my man from the D
Gon' stand on my feet
I am the branch, from the family tree
A baby to the leaves, carriers of the seeds
To carry on the name, to make a man complete.
De La Soul said I am a beat
I'm not a dream, I'm not a fantasy
Right here in the flesh,
I am out of this world, I am something else
I am something lived, I am something felt.

(repeat chorus)

Forgive the expression, Dont judge a book by its cover. Nowhere is it more
apropos, or less cliché, than in describing Novel: part singer, part songwriter,
part producer, part rapper, all STAR. Stemming from a creatively fertile family
tree—grandson to Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Solomon Burke, son to former
Motown Records exec Mickey Stevenson, Novel has blossomed on his own,
penning and producing for Alicia Keys, Leona Lewis, and Beyonce to name a
few. Attached to Dallas Austins Rowdy imprint, Novel prepares his
forthcoming debut album, The Audiobiographya collection of stories woven
by vivid insight and experience and bound by an extraordinary voice. It is by
all accounts, Novel.


Quotes: Unstoppable Alicia Keys
An amazing talent Leona Lewis
Lyrical genius Joell Ortiz
Novel has the potential to be greater than what we have in the business
