Lyrics
I am not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts
You can put your mind to do whatever you wanna do
Just tell yourself that you capable, too
But don't do things that ain't even cool
And get rid of them no-good friends that's enabling you
Making you feel like you won't be nothin', your life crumbling
They talk, mumbling
You gon' be something, you're glorious
We're no gangs, but warriors, we well-known, notorious
They can't stop you or block you or mock you
They mad 'cause you bad and they not you
You fall down, but get up and skip and hop through
Kick down doors for others to walk through
You have a purpose, to make you say: "Did I do that?" Urkel
Now we calling reality virtual
This is who I am, this is me, don't let them words hurt you
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades
And reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that's what we've become
(Yeah, that's what we've become)
I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
I'm alone, I never fit the mold
The world is so cold, hold it down on my own
I'm just tryna reach up to the sky, see the moon
I got confidence 'cause I'm the flyest in the room
And I been knocked down, but I always get up
I had some fake friends, had to go and switch up
Yeah, no pain, no strain, I ain't chasing all the pain
'Cause I got more to gain, and I'm just tryna make a change
I'm just doing me, I'm in my own lane
I fell down a few times, but I'm up again
Marching to another drum, see me cross, see me bow
When they thought that I was done, nah, nah, here I come
I'm not weak, I get on my feet
No apologies, yeah, this is me
And I know that I deserve your love
There's nothing I'm not worthy of
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
This is brave, this is bruised
This is who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come ('cause here I come)
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
(Marching on, marching, marching on to you)
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Whenever the world's gone, whenever the world's gone
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh this is me
