Title: Head Held High

Intro

Yeah…

I didn’t come to please.

I came to be.

Verse 1

It’s good to be good, but always with respect,

I offered a clean hand, they answered with excess,

the moment I said “no,” their truth came to light,

I didn’t break down, I learned how to fight.

They watched me fall and kept walking away,

they saw me rise and it hurt them that way,

I don’t carry excuses, I don’t carry blame,

my silence weighs more than the questions they claim.

Pre-Chorus

I didn’t stay quiet out of fear, it was discipline,

my peace isn’t shouted, it’s the way that I live,

I trimmed my circle without explanation,

because loyalty starts in the heart, not persuasion.

Chorus / Hook

I choose myself, I don’t apologize,

head held high, solid and right,

I won’t sell out, I won’t collapse,

my worth doesn’t live in your likes.

I respect myself, I stand my ground,

I make the rules on my own land,

if I don’t fit, I still remain whole,

I am faith…

I am fire.

Verse 2

I sleep in peace with a clear conscience,

I wish no harm, not even to my opponents,

I’m worth more, I don’t need to hear it said,

I measure myself by what I build instead.

I climb my mountains without permission,

I swim through depths without losing my rhythm,

I fly in my mind like nobody can,

my world is fire, truth, and calm.

Bridge

I don’t chase applause or redemption calls,

the beat of my heart is enough to stand tall,

I walk with my soul right here in my hand,

and a solid shield against what’s false and bland.

Final Chorus (Repeat)

I choose myself, I don’t apologize,

head held high, solid and right,

I won’t sell out, I won’t collapse,

my worth doesn’t live in your likes.

I respect myself, I stand my ground,

I make the rules on my own land,

if I don’t fit, I still remain whole,

I am faith…

I am fire.

Outro

Still standing.

Defined.

Head held high.
