[Verse 1]
Wake up, same ceiling, same fear
Same voice in my head sayin', "You don't belong here"
Scroll feeds, everybody lookin' like a legend
I'm stuck in my hoodie, overthinkin' every second
Started, stopped, closed tabs, new plan
Talk big, then I choke, that's the program
Heart race when I post one line
Delete, retype, restart, rewind
Mom call say, "Baby, you gifted"
I smile, switch the topic, I'm distant
'Cause I don't see what they see in my reflection
Just flaws in 4K, every angle, every question
But I lace up, step out, still try
Carrying a backpack full of "why"
If I fall, I fall, that's facts
But at least I went first, didn’t fade to black
[Chorus]
I don't believe in me like they do (nah)
Doubt in my throat when I say truth
Hands shake every time I aim high
But I still shoot, still shoot for the sky
Yeah, I drag my fear like a chain
Every step heavy with the weight and the pain
I don't trust my own voice sometimes
But I still speak, still speak every line
[Verse 2]
I pick apart wins like they accidents
Tell myself, "Luck," never "I’m adequate"
Every compliment feel like a prank
I laugh it off, change lanes, hit the brakes, then blank
Friends say, "Bro, you're the one"
I say, "Chill, I'm just gettin' stuff done"
But inside, I'm braced for the crash
Pre-writing excuses in case I don't last
Late nights, blue light, mind loud
Plot plans just to hide from a crowd
Fear of fail, fear of bein' seen
Fear of bein' mid, stuck in between
But I still clock in to the hard days
Still sweat when the odds in the wrong place
I don't wait till I'm ready, I just go
Let the doubt ride shotgun while I take control (let's go)
[Chorus]
I don't believe in me like they do
Doubt in my throat when I say truth
Hands shake every time I aim high
But I still shoot, still shoot for the sky
Yeah, I drag my fear like a chain
Every step heavy with the weight and the pain
I don't trust my own voice sometimes
But I still speak, still speak every line
[Bridge]
Maybe faith ain’t a feelin', it's a habit
Showin' up small when my heart feel damaged
Maybe hope ain't loud, it's quiet
One more try when my whole brain riot (woah)
[Chorus]
I don't believe in me like they do
Doubt in my throat when I say truth
Hands shake every time I aim high
But I still shoot, still shoot for the sky
Yeah, I drag my fear like a chain
Every step heavy with the weight and the pain
I don't trust my own voice sometimes
But I still move, still move every time
