Lying down on the ground, another beating
Like a knife, like a punch that I'm receiving
I know this place too well, I understand I'm fading, fading
And the fight, and the fight keeps on going
And I want, but I can't, retaliate
I keep on closing down my ways
I know it's playing in my head
These are the things I need to say
You have no longer control over me
This is my life and who I want to be
You take me down but who are you to be
So disrespectful
Look at yourself before you criticize
What I'll achieve will come as a surprise
I know, on the inside
I'm the cure to your poison
All the days, all the years of being frozen
When all I wanted was to be chosen
I have the right to be more than a shell of myself
Now I take back the control of my mind
Leave out the ropes that held me tight
And like a king I'll rise
I know it's playing in my head
These are the things I need to say
You have no longer control over me
This is my life and who I want to be
You take me down but who are you to be
So disrespectful
Look at yourself before you criticize
What I'll achieve will come as a surprise
I know, on the inside
I'm the cure to your poison
This is the moment I wake up
(I'm not yours to play with)
I leave before my time is up
I breathe again
You have no longer control over me
This is my life and who I want to be
You take me down but who are you to be
So disrespectful
Look at yourself before you criticize
What I'll achieve will come as a surprise
I know, on the inside
I'm the cure to your poison
This is the moment I wake up
I breathe again
You are a virus of the mind but I'm not running away
I have the power to emerge
Inside my veins
I'll hunt you down, I'll come around and you won't see me coming
