[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] They say "keep your head down," but I'm liftin' mine instead Sick of breathin' thin air, tired of barely livin' This dust on my shoulders ain't where I belong I'm gonna carve my own name where the light keeps givin' [Chorus] I'm tearin' the ceiling off the life they gave me No more shrinkin' small, no more playin' their game I'm liftin' my head till the whole world sees me Tired of barely livin' — I'm here to start livin' today [Verse 2] They built a box for me, nailed the lid tight shut Said "stay in your lane," but my soul's screamin' "what if?" I'm kickin' the hinges off, I'm breakin' the frame No more survivin' quiet — I'm gonna burn like a flame [Chorus] I'm tearin' the ceiling off the life they gave me No more shrinkin' small, no more playin' their game I'm liftin' my head till the whole world sees me Tired of barely livin' — I'm here to start livin' today [Bridge] I've got calluses on my hands from holdin' back Got fire in my chest that they can't douse or stack One step at a time, I'm climbin' out the dark This is my resurrection, my brand new start [Chorus] I'm tearin' the ceiling off the life they gave me No more shrinkin' small, no more playin' their game I'm liftin' my head till the whole world sees me Tired of barely livin' — I'm here to start livin' today [Outro] (Instrumental Solo)
