They said

"Keep your head down

Dreams like yours don't land"

Laughed at every wild idea

Shook their careful hands

I wrote plans in the margins

Of a worn-out notebook

Circle after circle

They never took a second look

You told me I can't do anything

Watch me

Watch me

I'm gonna do it all anyway

Try me

Try me

Every closed door

I'm finding a way

Every "you won't" turns into "I did today"

You told me I can't do anything

So I did everything I planned

Up late

Cheap coffee

Screens glow

Eyes sting

Failures on the floor

Like discarded strings

Every time your doubt

Echoed in my head

I turned the volume higher

On my own voice instead

You told me I can't do anything

Watch me

Watch me

I'm gonna do it all anyway

Try me

Try me

Every closed door

I'm finding a way

Every "you won't" turns into "I did today"

You told me I can't do anything

So I did everything I planned

Remember when you said I'd break?

(Too soft, too small, too much at stake)

I used your every word as weight

Now look how high I stand

I checked each box you said I'd miss

Turned every doubt into a list

Line by line

I built like this

Exactly how I planned

You told me I can't do anything

Watch me

Watch me

I'm gonna do it all anyway

Try me

Try me

Every closed door

I'm finding a way

Every "you won't" turns into "I did today"

You told me I can't do anything

So I did everything I planned

(Yeah, I did everything I planned)
