From Ashes to New - My Name

[00:08.01] Almost all my life, they told me that I couldn't [00:10.55] Dreaming every night, they told me that I shouldn't [00:12.84] Told me that I should've quit, that I'll never finish it [00:15.45] That I'll never reach the top and no one knows that I exist [00:18.07] But I kept climbing, kept grinding every day [00:20.67] And I kept writing everything I had to say [00:23.24] Now they wanna shut me up, shut me in, shut me out [00:26.17] Yeah, I'd be mad too if someone made me shut my mouth [00:28.47] But it's different when you never had a voice [00:31.18] When no one ever listened, so you never had a choice [00:33.83] Never had a path, only people in your way [00:36.43] Never had a mask or a reason to be fake [00:39.18] All you had was you and a reason to succeed [00:41.66] All you had to do was keep believing in the dream [00:44.32] All you ever knew was being weak and on your knees [00:46.47] But you're only gonna lose if you don't learn from your defeats [00:51.92] Yeah, gotta make the world know my name [00:55.06] I've got my head in the clouds, my feet on the ground [01:00.90] Yeah, I'm standing now and I am not afraid [01:05.97] With my head in the clouds, never looking down [01:11.23] Yeah, I'll never stop until the world knows my name [01:17.57] [01:20.76] I wish I could go back, back when we were kids [01:23.16] When everything had passion with everything we did [01:25.71] Everything was honest, everything that we were promised [01:28.09] And the thought of what we wanted is what makes it so ironic [01:30.63] That it's different than the shit that we were told [01:33.52] How the rules were written, how the story really goes [01:36.17] "Everyone's your friend, give everyone a chance" [01:38.62] So everyone pretends that they really give a damn [01:41.13] Man, fuck that, nothing's ever what it seems [01:43.64] People stepping over people, people preying on the weak [01:46.13] 'Cause it's business and we're feeding the machine [01:48.79] Time is money, money's living, so we live with the disease [01:51.69] What happened to the magic? What happened to the thrill? [01:54.29] What happened to the passion, the way we used to feel? [01:56.76] All we see is fashion, fame, and dollar bills [01:59.46] And now I'm looking back, I wish the world I saw was real [02:02.43] I've got my head in the clouds, my feet on the ground [02:08.34] Yeah, I'm standing now and I am not afraid [02:13.34] With my head in the clouds, never looking down [02:18.72] Yeah, I'll never stop until the world knows my name [02:23.38] I woke up one day [02:25.08] With the world outside telling me I should walk away [02:28.40] But I can't, I won't break [02:30.84] That's how I know it, everything will be okay [02:33.30] I woke up one day [02:35.48] With the world outside telling me I should walk away [02:38.76] But I can't, I won't break [02:41.27] That's how I know that, everything will be okay [02:43.87] I woke up one day [02:45.83] With the world outside telling me I should walk away [02:49.20] But I can't, I won't break [02:51.63] I'm gonna make the world know my name [02:54.50] I've got my head in the clouds, my feet on the ground [03:00.32] Yeah, I'm standing now and I am not afraid [03:05.13] With my head in the clouds, never looking down [03:10.64] Yeah, I'll never stop until the world knows my name [03:15.14] I woke up one day [03:17.11] With the world outside telling me I should walk away [03:20.36] But I can't, I won't break [03:22.98] I'll make the world know my name [03:25.56] I woke up one day [03:27.59] With the world outside telling me I should walk away [03:30.77] But I can't, I won't break [03:33.35] I'll make the world know my name [03:37.38]
