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 I exist.
But I kept climbing, kept grinding everyday,
And I kept writing everything I had to say.
Now they wanna shut me up, shut me in, shut me out,
Yeah, I'll be mad too if someone made me shut my mouth.
But it's different when you never had a voice,
When no one ever listens, so you never had a choice.
Never had a path, only people in your way,
Never had a mask or a reason to fake.
All you had was and a reason to succeed,
All you had to do was believe 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'm not afraid!
With my head in the clouds, never looking down,
Yeah, I'll never stop til 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 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 machines,
Time is money, money's living, so we live with this 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'm not afraid!
With my head in the clouds, never looking down,
Yeah, I'll never stop til 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 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; I gotta 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'm not afraid!
With my head in the clouds, never looking down,
Yeah, I'll never stop til 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!
