(Verse 1)
They used to whisper, used to stare,
Called me a loser, said I’d go nowhere.
Sitting alone at the back of the class,
Dreaming of days I’d leave ‘em in the past.
Teachers said, “You won’t make the cut,”
Laughed in my face, said I wasn’t enough.
But I kept grinding, kept my head high,
Now I’m on top, waving goodbye.
(Pre-Chorus)
Now the lights shine bright on me,
Flashing cameras, VIP.
Took their doubt and made it fuel,
Now they see who runs the rule.
(Chorus)
So I raise my glass to the ones who said no,
Told me I’d fail, but look at me go.
Popping bottles, making it rain,
Made it to the top, now they know my name.
(Verse 2)
Once the quiet kid, now the main event,
Cash in my pocket, never had to pretend.
Riding in the fast lane, living so wild,
Got the last laugh, yeah, look at me now.
They say success is the sweetest revenge,
Now they all act like we’re long-time friends.
But where were they when I was down?
Now they watch me wear the crown.
(Pre-Chorus)
Now the lights shine bright on me,
Flashing cameras, VIP.
Took their doubt and made it fuel,
Now they see who runs the rule.
(Chorus)
So I raise my glass to the ones who said no,
Told me I’d fail, but look at me go.
Popping bottles, making it rain,
Made it to the top, now they know my name.
(Bridge)
For every tear, for every doubt,
For every time they shut me out.
Now I pull up in a blacked-out ride,
Living my dream, no need to hide.
(Outro)
So here’s to the past, I toast to the pain,
Turned all their hate into money and fame.
Quiet kid? Yeah, not anymore,
I made it big—now hear the crowd roar.
