| I've been taking my time |
| I've been trying to find peace |
| I've been trying to make a better me |
| They said I'd never make it |
| Looking at their faces |
| They don't even recognize me |
| And you say I don't deserve it |
| But I knew my purpose |
| Don't let them get the best of me |
| So what they gonna say now? |
| Wishing that they stay down |
| I'm who I wanna be |
|
| You're looking at a brand new person |
| And everybody coming to the light |
| Reminder to myself it's worth it |
| You don't know how much I sacrifice |
| Was so afraid when they ask |
| What you doing now |
| Ashamed because I had nothing to show them |
| So hard |
| There's only one way to live this life |
|
| You gotta just try, try |
| I never let them get the best of me |
| You just try, try, try |
| Oh, they gonna see how far I'ma take this |
| They probably think we won't make it |
| But we'll try, try, try |
|
| I do my best but it's still just not enough |
| I try so hard to be, don't know what they see |
| I shouldn't care so much |
| Cause at the end of the day it's just me |
| Can't be ashamed when they ask what you're doing now |
| Cause we the only ones that rarely see |
| One day they gonna say wow |
| Wishing that they stayed down |
| One day you'll see |
|
| You're looking at a brand new person |
| And everybody coming to the light |
| Reminder to myself it's worth it, yeah |
| You don't know how much I sacrifice |
| I'm so afraid when they ask what you're doing now |
| Ashamed because I had nothing to show them |
| So hard |
| It's only one way to live this life |
|
| You gotta just try, try |
| I never let them get the best of me |
| You just try, try, try |
| Oh, they gonna see how far I'ma take this |
| They probably think we won't make it |
| But we'll try, try, try |
|
| You gotta just try, try |
| I never let them get the best of me |
| You just try, try, try |
| Oh, they gonna see how far I'ma take this |
| They probably think we won't make it |
| But we'll try, try, try |
