[Verse 1]
Used to walk in late
With a hole in my shoe
Hand-me-down jeans
And the teacher looking down his nose
Lunchtime fights
By the chain-link fence
They laughed real loud
I learned to stand my ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Home felt loud
And the walls felt thin
Cans on the counter
And a despair from within
But I found my people
One crazy friend at a time
We were the fun crowd first
Now we’re standing proud
[Chorus]
Fuck the bullies
I don’t need their crap
Fuck the bullies
I won’t bow down
I’ve got my own name
I’ve got my own skin
Don’t try to impress them
They don’t give a shit anyhow
(Only yourself wins)
[Verse 2]
Old clothes, torn cuffs
Cheap lunch, cold hands
They talked like my life
Was a joke
But one day
I met my kind
Loud misfits
With dreams in our hearts
We made a pact
At the edge of the field
Nobody gets to say
What a weak heart feels
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I carried fear
Like a backpack full of stones
Then they came through
And I wasn’t alone
Now the mirror knows me
Not the lies they sold
I’m more than the dirt
I’m more than what they told
[Chorus]
Fuck the bullies
I don’t need their crap
Fuck the bullies
I won’t bow down
I’ve got my own name
I’ve got my own skin
Don’t try to impress them
I don’t give a shit anyway
[Bridge]
I won’t fake a smile
For a room that bites
I won’t trade my soul
For a smaller life
If you need a target
Go find your own
I’m done being broken
I’m done being owned
[Final Chorus]
Fuck the bullies
I don’t need their crown
Fuck the bullies
I won’t bow down
I’ve got my own name
I’ve got my own skin
Don’t try to impress them
They’ve got their own pain
Fuck the bullies
I’m still here
Fuck the bullies
Loud and clear
I’ve got my own name
I’ve got my own skin
Don’t try to impress them
Or you’ll go insane
