[CHEERLEADER ]
[Verse 1]
Was the queen of the pep rally, diamonds on my sneakers,
Little Miss Perfect, the fame’s loudest speaker,
Pom-poms flashing, cameras clashing,
Gold crown polished while the new girls keep crashing.
Smile so sweet, but my teeth are sharp,
They built me an empire, now they want it torn apart.
(Plastic throne?) Nah, baby, it’s steel,
(You want my spot?)Better sharpen your heels.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
You loved me, then you tried to replace me,
Built me up just to try and erase me,
But I’m not leaving, not fading, not pleading,
I'll be my own damn parade — still leading.
---
[Chorus]
I'm my own cheerleader,
When the crowd gets colder,
I'll hold my crown tighter,
I'm my own cheerleader.
Better bleed for it, sweeter,
I'm my own cheerleader.
---
[Post-Chorus]
Cheer up, crown up, stand tall, don't stop,
Glow up, show up, queens don’t drop!
---
[Verse 2]
You crowned me young, but forgot I bite,
Pretty little princess learned how to fight.
Sashes, trophies, oh-so-shiny,
But they double as weapons — try me, try me.
Whispered rumors, clawed-out smiles,
But I'm five steps ahead, been trained to beguile.
Trade in my tiara? Trade in my fame?
(Nah, babe )— I carved my name in this game.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
You loved me, then you tried to replace me,
Built me up just to try and erase me,
But I’m not leaving, not fading, not pleading,
I'll be my own damn parade — still leading.
---
[Chorus singing]
I'm my own cheerleader,
When the crowd gets colder,
I'll hold my crown tighter,
I'm my own cheerleader.
Better bleed for it, sweeter,
I'm my own cheerleader.
---
[Post-Chorus]
Cheer up, crown up, stand tall, don't stop,
Glow up, show up, queens don’t drop!
---
[Bridge anthemic singing]
Rumor has it there’s a new queen on the block,
Out with the old, in with the TikTok.
Times Up — no worthy competition,
The streets are cold, she got stabbed with a stiletto.
Reality is that I’m still the queen bee,
Trophy’s dripping, sanity tipping,
I'm still my own cheerleader.
---
[Final Chorus]
I'm my own cheerleader,
Even when they boo louder,
I'll hold my crown tighter,
I'm my own cheerleader.
Better bleed for it, sweeter,
I'm my own cheerleader.
---
[Final Post-Chorus ]
Cheer up, crown up, stand tall, don't stop,
Glow up, show up, queens don’t drop!
---
[Outro chant]
Q-U-E-E-N,
Gold crown, hold tight.
B-A-R-B-I-E,
Still the baddest, right?
I am my own cheerleader.
