Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They said, "You'll never be

More than a dead-end bet"

I wore that like a bruise

From the day they first said it

Cold hands, empty pockets

Dirty shoes on the floor

I kept one eye on the door

And one fist on the floor

Every "can't" they threw

I turned into a spark

Every side-eye look

I carved it in the dark

[Pre-Chorus]

I learned to bite back

Learned to stand tall

Learned to take the hit

Then I took it all

Now the crowd gets loud

When I walk in

They don't know the cost

Of where I've been

[Chorus]

You said I'd be nothing

Now look at me

You said I'd be nothing

I broke that chain, I broke that screen

I rose from the doubt

I rose from the pain

You said I'd be nothing

Say it again

[Verse 2]

Paper-thin labels

Taped to my name

Small-town boardrooms

Loved the sound of shame

They wanted me folded

Kept neat, kept low

I was stacking up miles

They never wanted to know

Blood in the knuckles

Dust on the plan

I built my own ladder

With my own two hands

Every door that slammed

Made my spine bend less

Every laugh in my face

Turned to fuel in my chest

[Pre-Chorus]

I learned to bite back

Learned to stand tall

Learned to take the hit

Then I took it all

Now the crowd gets loud

When I walk in

They don't know the fire

That I kept within

[Chorus]

You said I'd be nothing

Now look at me

You said I'd be nothing

I broke that chain, I broke that screen

I rose from the doubt

I rose from the pain

You said I'd be nothing

Say it again

[Bridge]

Count me out, count me out

I was built for the climb

Told me "never" too many times

Now I wear it like a crime

If you want me small

Then watch me grow

I came from the ache

And I came for the show

[Final Chorus]

You said I'd be nothing

Now look at me

You said I'd be nothing

I broke that chain, I broke that screen

I rose from the doubt

I rose from the pain

You said I'd be nothing

Say it again

You said I'd be nothing

Now I got the keys

You said I'd be nothing

I turned the pressure into steel

I rose from the doubt

I rose from the pain

You said I'd be nothing

Say it again
