You Can Do Something

[Verse 1]
They laughed when you said it out loud
Dream on
They said
Head in the clouds
You staring at a cracked phone screen
Saving every cent for a far-off dream
[Pre-Chorus]
All those closed doors
All those cold shoulders
You kept notes in a shoebox
Till the pages spilled over (yeah)
[Chorus]
Don't ever let somebody tell you
You can't do something you feel
They don't see the fire inside you
They don't know the way this burns real
Hold tight to the thing you're chasing
Even when the whole world doubts
Don't ever let somebody tell you
You can't turn that dream inside out (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Up late
Same desk
Same chair
Eyes red
Blue light
Blank stare
Friends out
But you stay grinding
Tiny wins that you keep finding
[Pre-Chorus]
Every setback
Just a step back
For a bigger run
Bigger stride
You keep faith in your own track (oh)
[Chorus]
Don't ever let somebody tell you
You can't do something you feel
They don't see the fire inside you
They don't know the way this burns real
Hold tight to the thing you're chasing
Even when the whole world doubts
Don't ever let somebody tell you
You can't turn that dream inside out (yeah)
[Bridge]
When their fear tries to fit you in a frame
When their limits get painted with your name
Say
"That's yours
Not mine to claim" (not mine)
Walk on
Heart loud
Unashamed
[Chorus]
Don't ever let somebody tell you
You can't do something you feel
They don't see the fire inside you
They don't know the way this burns real
Hold tight to the thing you're chasing
Even when the whole world doubts
Don't ever let somebody tell you
You can't do something
You can do something
You can turn that dream inside out (oh yeah)

Inspirational hip-hop/pop crossover with mid-tempo bounce, warm piano chords and airy synth pads. Male vocals, intimate on verses then lifting into a bold, chantable hook with stacked harmonies and crowd-style ad-libs. Tight drum groove stays steady; last chorus adds octave jumps and a subtle gospel-style choir layer for a triumphant finish.
