My Name

Almost all my life, they told me that I couldn't Dreaming every night, they told me that I shouldn't Told me that I should've quit, that I'll never finish it That I'll never reach the top and no one knows that I exist But I kept climbing, kept grinding every day And I kept writing everything I had to say Now they wanna shut me up, shut me in, shut me out Yeah, I'd be mad too if someone made me shut my mouth But it's different when you never had a voice When no one ever listened, so you never had a choice Never had a path, only people in your way Never had a mask or a reason to be fake All you had was you and a reason to succeed All you had to do was keep believing in the dream All you ever knew was being weak and on your knees But you're only gonna lose if you don't learn from your defeats Yeah, gotta make the world know my name I've got my head in the clouds, my feet on the ground Yeah, I'm standing now and I am not afraid With my head in the clouds, never looking down Yeah, I'll never stop until the world knows my name I wish I could go back, back when we were kids When everything had passion with everything we did Everything was honest, everything that we were promised And the thought of what we wanted is what makes it so ironic That it's different than the shit that we were told How the rules were written, how the story really goes "Everyone's your friend, give everyone a chance" So everyone pretends that they really give a damn Man, fuck that, nothing's ever what it seems People stepping over people, people preying on the weak 'Cause it's business and we're feeding the machine Time is money, money's living, so we live with the disease What happened to the magic? What happened to the thrill? What happened to the passion, the way we used to feel? All we see is fashion, fame, and dollar bills And now I'm looking back, I wish the world I saw was real I've got my head in the clouds, my feet on the ground Yeah, I'm standing now and I am not afraid With my head in the clouds, never looking down Yeah, I'll never stop until the world knows my name I woke up one day With the world outside telling me I should walk away But I can't, I won't break That's how I know it, everything will be okay I woke up one day With the world outside telling me I should walk away But I can't, I won't break That's how I know that, everything will be okay I woke up one day With the world outside telling me I should walk away But I can't, I won't break I'm gonna make the world know my name I've got my head in the clouds, my feet on the ground Yeah, I'm standing now and I am not afraid With my head in the clouds, never looking down Yeah, I'll never stop until the world knows my name I woke up one day With the world outside telling me I should walk away But I can't, I won't break I'll make the world know my name I woke up one day With the world outside telling me I should walk away But I can't, I won't break I'll make the world know my name
