[Verse 1] Walked through fire in my thrift store shoes Hand-me-down dreams, all scuffed and bruised Every “you can’t” was a tattooed dare Turned every side-eye into front row stares They used to laugh at the girl who cared Too much feeling, heart too bare Now they quote me like I’m scripture Funny how the frame rewrites the picture (oh yeah) [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been breaking every ceiling they set Talking to my fear like, “boy, you’re in debt” All of my scars turned into a flex This is the part where I cash that check [Chorus] This is me, loud and unafraid Diamond in the dirt that they couldn’t break Every little tear built the woman you see Take it or leave it, this is me, this is me This is me, shining through the doubt Turned my quiet into stadium shouts I don’t need your version of who I should be Love it or hate it, this is me, this is me (yeah) [Verse 2] Therapist couch, mascara stains Mama said, “baby, don’t outrun your pain” So I took that hurt, wrote it line by line Now the radio’s playing back my mind Face in the mirror, I made peace With all the weird parts I used to bleach If you knew the things I’ve overcome You’d say my full name when you talk about strong (talk about strong) [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been breaking every ceiling they set Talking to my fear like, “boy, you’re in debt” All of my scars turned into a flex This is the part where I cash that check [Chorus] This is me, loud and unafraid Diamond in the dirt that they couldn’t break Every little tear built the woman you see Take it or leave it, this is me, this is me This is me, shining through the doubt Turned my quiet into stadium shouts I don’t need your version of who I should be Love it or hate it, this is me, this is me [Bridge] I’m done shrinking just to fit your frame Done saying “sorry” for my own name If I’m “too much” then turn it down I’m busy turning my wounds to crowns (hey!) [Chorus] This is me, loud and unafraid Diamond in the dirt that they couldn’t break Every little tear built the woman you see Take it or leave it, this is me, this is me This is me, shining through the doubt Turned my quiet into stadium shouts I don’t need your version of who I should be Love it or hate it, this is me, this is me (this is me)
