Used to wake up worried what they’d say

Scrollin’ through opinions that would ruin my day

Tryna fit in places I never belonged

Smilin’ on the outside but it felt wrong

Every comment hit harder than it should’ve

Every doubt made me question if I could’ve

Been something more than what they see

But I was losin’ me just tryna be seen

I was beggin’ for approval I’ll never get back

Writin’ my worth in reactions and stats

Funny how I thought that I needed them all

When they wasn’t even there when I would fall

⸻

And I see it now, it was all in my head

Tryna please everybody just left me dead

You can give your all and still be ignored

So why am I still tryna win that war

⸻

Got nothing left to prove

I spent years chasing validation

Lookin’ for love in every conversation

Now I’m too busy buildin’ what they said I’d never do

Got nothing left to prove

I stopped askin’ for permission

They don’t see it, but I still envision

Everything I turned my pain into

Got nothing left to prove

Funny how it all came clearer

When I stopped lookin’ for mirrors

And started lookin’ within the truth

⸻

They used to laugh like I wouldn’t go far

Now they act like they knew who we are

Same people that doubted the vision I had

Now they double back like “damn, that’s mad”

I stopped explainin’ what I’m gonna do

Let results speak louder than proof

Used to chase validation in rooms I don’t need

Now I walk in and I just let it be

No more askin’ if I’m enough

I already built from the stuff

They said would break me down to the floor

Funny how I came back stronger than before

⸻

I don’t hate them, I just outgrew

The version of me that needed their view

And if I could talk to the kid I was then

I’d tell him, “you don’t need to win them”

Because not everyone’s meant to believe

Some people just watch while you leave

And that’s okay, I finally see

Their doubt was never about me

⸻

Got nothing left to prove

I spent years chasing validation

Lookin’ for love in every conversation

Now I’m too busy buildin’ what they said I’d never do

Got nothing left to prove

I stopped askin’ for permission

They don’t see it, but I still envision

Everything I turned my pain into

Got nothing left to prove

And I don’t need them to see it

I just needed to believe it

Now I finally do
