[Intro]
Yeah, look
Had to clear the dust off my crown
Real talk
[Verse 1]
They wanted me to sit and wait on their approval
But I had to make a move, a total clean removal
Too many voices trying to tell me who to be
I had to lock the door and finally find the key
No more living in the shadow of a doubt
I know exactly what my journey is about
I’m doing things for me, the vision is so clear
Wiped away the static and I conquered every fear
Yeah, I'm building up my own lane, setting up the pace
Putting on a smile, put the joy back in my face
No more asking questions, no more looking back
I'm the engineer and I am staying on the track
[Chorus]
I’m doing this for me, yeah, I’m standing on my own
Taking back the crown, sitting on my own throne
I’m learning how to laugh, learning how to breathe
Believing in the magic that I carry up my sleeve
Yeah, I’m happy once again, watch me glow, watch me run
My story’s unwritten and it’s only just begun
Yeah, it's only just begun
[Verse 2]
I spent too many nights crying over split ink
Now I’m writing chapters quicker than you can think
They thought I’d fold under pressure, thought I’d break down
But I’m the main event, the loudest voice in this town
I bought my own flowers, decorated my mind
Left all the heavy, bitter baggage far behind
You can keep the drama, I’m choosing my peace
Watching all the blessings and the progress increase
Every single step is a promise to myself
I prioritize my joy, yeah, I’m building up my wealth
And I don't mean the money, I mean the spirit inside
Reclaiming my power, sailing on a new tide
[Chorus]
I’m doing this for me, yeah, I’m standing on my own
Taking back the crown, sitting on my own throne
I’m learning how to laugh, learning how to breathe
Believing in the magic that I carry up my sleeve
Yeah, I’m happy once again, watch me glow, watch me run
My story’s unwritten and it’s only just begun
[Outro]
Yeah, only just begun
Doing it for me
Happy again
[Fade Out]
