Fighter
I said I’d do it
They said I couldn’t
I said I’d make it
They said I wouldn’t
I gave it everything I had; ran the extra 100 miles.
I see all those people chasing their dreams
Why do my dreams always elude me?
My passion right here in my reach
My future now so clear to see
I reach then all the paths turn bleak.
Now my tears are filling up the sea.
They always said what goes around comes around.
Like a boomerang on a playing ground.
The why aren’t my efforts paying off?
I’ve lost it all I’m just left with the dust.
But I still try night after night
On my bed I still lie
Shedding tears, facing the fears I’ve had for all these years.
Getting rejected I no longer fear
My professions will take me from here.
I can’t be afraid to grow wings if I wanna fly.
I gotta man up a lot and start reaching for the skies
Cuz even they are not my limits
My talent be making me triple digits.
Why be a loner when I can be a goddess in my own right?
From this point on hear me world I ain’t giving up this fight
