[Intro – Chants Only | Stomp / Clap]
HEY! (HEY!)
HEY! (HEY!)
[low voices, ritual energy]
[Verse 1 – Controlled defiance]
They drew a line and said I don’t belong
Laughed at my dreams, said I’d never be strong
Every door closed, every light burned out
But I learned how to breathe in the doubt
[Pre-Chorus – Rising pressure]
All the weight on my chest made me stand up taller
Every scar on my skin made my voice grow louder
(drums build)
HEY! (HEY!)
[Chorus – Anthemic, punchy, layered]
They said I’d fall, said I’d fade somehow
But look at me — I’m still here now
From the ground, from the fire, from the sound
I was lost — now I’m found
You can doubt, you can laugh, you can shout
But you’ll never stop me now
They said I’d never make a sound
SO WATCH ME NOW!
[Post-Chorus – Crowd Chant]
Oh—oh, oh—oh
Oh—oh, oh—oh
[steady, driving — not celebratory yet]
[Verse 2 – Stronger, sharper]
I wore their words like a broken crown
Carried that fear when no one was around
Pressure turned sparks into flame
Now I’m standing taller in the blame
[Pre-Chorus – Drop + Hit]
Every night I was low made me fearless
Every “no” made my vision clearer
(full drop — one beat)
HEY! (HEY!)
[Chorus – Bigger, full ensemble]
They said I’d fall, said I’d fade somehow
But look at me — I’m still here now
From the ground, from the fire, from the sound
I was lost — now I’m found
You can doubt, you can laugh, you can shout
But you’ll never stop me now
They said I’d never make a sound
SO WATCH ME NOW!
[Bridge – Low - Build | Call & Response]
Let it rain — let it break me
I’ve been down — it won’t shake me
STAND — UP!
STAND — TALL!
Every shadow knows my name
I don’t run — I face the flame
STAND — UP!
STAND — TALL!
[drums explode, full band slams in]
[Final Chorus – BIGGEST | Controlled Fury]
They said I’d fall, said I’d fade somehow
But look at me — I’m still here now
From the ground, from the fire, from the sound
I was lost — now I’m found
You can doubt, you can laugh, you can shout
But you’ll never stop me now
They said I’d never make a sound
WATCH — ME — NOW!
WATCH — ME — NOW!
[Outro – Crowd Chant Only | Final Statement]
WE — WON’T — BREAK!
WE — WON’T — FALL!
WATCH — ME — NOW!
