I'm trapped in this cycle, they don't let me live Every move I make, they got something to give Eyes always watching, never getting a reprieve Feels like I'm drowning, can't even breathe Pressure's on, gotta keep up the pace But no matter what I do, can't win the race Judgmental eyes, always on my case Can't escape this feeling, it's all over my face They don't want me to shine, they want me to fall But I'll keep pushing through, standing tall No matter what they say, I'll never crawl I'll break free from this grip, break down the wall I'll rise above, show them what I'm made of No longer a victim, I'll push and I'll shove I'll make my mark, with strength and with love They don't let me live, but I'll rise
