[Verse 1]
Got all these voices speaking
I’m the only one talking
They circle like they own me
Still I’m the one walking
Hand-me-down advice
From people who ain’t done it
Telling me to “be realistic”
Like they ever really wanted it
Late rent
Same bus route
Headphones on
Tune the doubt out
They laugh when I call my shot
Say “you dreaming way too loud”
[Chorus]
Got all these voices speaking
But I’m the only one talking (yeah)
They wanna pull my feet from under
I just keep on
I keep on walking
Every “you can’t” turns to fuel
Every eye roll
Every scoffing
Got all these voices speaking
But I’m the only one talking (I’m the only one)
[Verse 2]
They love me on the sidelines
Hate me in the spotlight
Smirks when I say “just wait”
Now my “just wait” hits their timelines
Group chat full of backhand praise
“I always knew you’d go far”
Same mouths tried to clip my wings
Now they fighting to ride in my car (hey)
I remember kitchen tables
Bills stacked
Hands shaking
Now my momma sets her phone down
Smiles when my song’s playing
[Chorus]
Got all these voices speaking
But I’m the only one talking
They tried to drag me through their doubt
I just kept on
Kept on walking
Every “you won’t” turned to proof
Every shove became my starting
Got all these voices speaking
But I’m the only one talking
[Bridge]
Now the crowd sings back my lines
Funny how the noise went quiet
Same ones who said I’d never rise
Ask me how to start a riot (oh)
They pushed me down
I hit the floor
Planted roots there in the pain
Now I’m standing on that pressure
Looking down
They say my name
[Chorus]
Got all these voices speaking
But I’m the only one talking
From the bottom of their doubt
To the top where I’m still walking
Every “sit down” built this throne
Every lock became my calling
Got all these voices speaking
But I’m the only one talking (yeah)
