Third strike and I'm out
So sick of having all your stupid words in my mouth
Done with having to whisper
while you're screaming and shouting
Yeah
Crazy it's me that you're doubting

But still I rise
Like a bud in the soil finding sunlight
With a breath and one look to the sky
Yeah, that's all I need to survive, survive

That's why I throw my hands up, arms in the air
That's why my two-step looks so handsome, making you stare
So keep your picture and your caption, 'cause I
Don't need no lights, camera or action to let down my hair

You just kept holding me back
Giving me your opinion like it was fact
Kept your foot on the brake while mine was on the gas
And I'm done with that
With that

But still I rise
Like a bud in the soil finding sunlight
With a breath, and one look to the sky
Yeah, that's all I need to survive, survive

That's why I throw my hands up, arms in the air
That's why my two-step looks so handsome, making you stare
So keep your picture and your caption, 'cause I
Don't need no lights, camera or action to let down

That's why I throw my hands up, arms in the air
That's why my two step looks so handsome, making you stare
Don't need no picture or no caption, no, I
Don't need no lights, camera or action to let down my hair
Oh, oh, I
No, I, ooh
No lights camera or action to let down my hair

Chasing after the silver and gold
You might get the fame and the glory
But the price of you selling your soul
Is a sad fucking end to the story
And I'm still right at the start
And, yes, this is just the beginning
The future's the scariest part, but I'm living
