[Verse 1]
Came from the back room
Pockets full of lint
Mama seen the late nights
Knew I had the hint
Cold floor, hard stare
Ramen on the stove
They laughed at my plans
Now they watch me go
I was made in the scrap yard
Built from what they threw
Every “you can’t” they said
Turned into fuel
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t fold
I don’t break
I put pain
On a plate
I been low
Now I rise
Same old face
New hard eyes
[Chorus]
I work too hard
To be dismissed
I prove you wrong
That’s what it is
I work too hard
I don’t miss
Watch me come up
Watch me exist
(I prove you wrong)
(I prove you wrong)
[Verse 2]
Clock in, clock out
Still I grind at night
Handprints on the dream
Red eyes, dead tired
Had the wrong doors closed
Right in my face
Now they say my name
Like it grew from grace
I kept every cut
Turned it to a scar
Now I move the room
When I step in hard
Never needed luck
I needed time
Now the whole block know
I took what’s mine
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t fold
I don’t break
I put pain
On a plate
I been low
Now I rise
Same old face
New hard eyes
[Chorus]
I work too hard
To be dismissed
I prove you wrong
That’s what it is
I work too hard
I don’t miss
Watch me come up
Watch me exist
(I prove you wrong)
(I prove you wrong)
[Bridge]
Counted out
Left for done
But I kept moving
One by one
Every door
Every doubt
I kicked that mess
And I’m here now
[Chorus]
I work too hard
To be dismissed
I prove you wrong
That’s what it is
I work too hard
I don’t miss
Watch me come up
Watch me exist
(I prove you wrong)
(I prove you wrong)
