For so long, I was just stepped on, beat down, ridiculed
Told I'd be nothing, no future, they see now
Anything is possible with drive and emotion
My passion is impossible to ignore, I'm exploding!And there I was.
Sitting alone in the dark.
Eyes wide open, waiting to see a spark
And when it came, my eyes gleamed in the new found heartThat's when the darkness broke apart
Path that was in there for me was my path, my destiny
They thought big, I thought big, and they kept hating but I'm living
Rebuild like Baton Rouge, we can't lose!
My insecurities, they ate at me
There were times where I just hated me
But even when I though I should give up I couldn't do it
I got back up on my feet and suffered through it
I never wanted anyone's sympathy or pity...
I just wanted... wanted a chance to show the best of me.
And now I'm giving them what's left of me,
the anger, blood, tears, the energy
Only my doubt was my enemy.
So I stared up at the ceiling.
Then I realized no one was listening.
I was all alone, my tears glistening,
evaporating from the fire in my veins.
Suddenly I could feel.
Same fire in my brain a place to light the night
I stand up on my own two, there's no surrender, fight
it doesn't stop us, every day we don't do half this all the way
You better be you, just do it your way!
