Lyrics

They had me sweeping shop floors at sixteen
While they talked down like I couldn't hear
Said"Just be glad you got anything"
Like I owed 'em for standing here
I wore their name across my back
While they wore mine into the ground
Every time I gave 'em my best
They just moved that finish line out
They took more than they ever gave
Called it paying dues, called it my place
I kept quiet, but I kept count
Every crack they tried to hide me in
I was more than they saw, more than they planned
More than a pair of worn-out hands
More than a name they could use and forget
More than the boy they tried to keep in check
Now I'm standing where they said I'd break
Still carrying dreams they couldn't take
They can look now, but they'll never see
Everything they woke up in me
They'd laugh when I talked about leaving town
Said the world don't need your kind
Said"You'll come back when it knocks you down"
Like I'd believe every word they'd write
But I learned truth don't shout out loud
It grows slow where no one looks
In every late night and empty mile
In every chance they never took
They were betting I'd fade away
Just another story that never changed
But every mile I put behind
Was one more chain left in the dust
I was more than they saw, more than they planned
More than a pair of worn-out hands
More than a name they could use and forget
More than the boy they tried to keep in check
Now I'm standing where they said I'd break
Still carrying dreams they couldn't take
They can look now, but they'll never see
Everything they woke up in me
They can keep their cheap control
And the way they tried to own my soul
I don't hate 'em, I don't blame
They just never saw the flame
And maybe it's better that way
I built it stronger in the pain
I was more than they saw, more than they knew
More than what they tried to reduce me to
More than the silence they put on my name
More than the weight and more than the shame
Now I'm standing here on my own two feet
With every scar and every defeat
They can listen close, but they'll never be
Everything they woke up in me
They only saw who I used to be
They never saw what they made of me
