u think I suck

(Verse 1)
I hear the whispers in the hall, see the smirks behind your hand
Got a feeling creeping up my spine, like I'm standing on sinking sand
Every glance, a subtle jab, every word a poisoned dart
Trying to chip away at me, tear my confidence apart (Chorus)
Yeah, you think I suck, I get the gist, the message loud and clear
You built your throne on tearing down, fueled by doubt and fear
But your negativity's it's coming back to you
I'm not defined by your harsh words, I'm breaking through (Verse 2)
Maybe I stumble, maybe I fall, maybe I don't meet your grade
But I'm learning and I'm striving, a constant, uphill parade
You see imperfection, I see growth, a chance to rise above
Your bitter judgment, a wasted breath, on the strength of my self-love (Chorus)
Yeah, you think I suck, I get the gist, the message loud and clear
You built your throne on tearing down, fueled by doubt and fear
But your negativity's it's coming back to you
I'm not defined by your harsh words, I'm breaking through (Bridge)
So go ahead and say it, scream it to the sky
Your venomous opinions, they don't make me cry
'Cause I know my worth, I know my truth, I'm stronger than you see
This hatred you're projecting, it's a prison for you, not me (Chorus)
Yeah, you think I suck, I get the gist, the message loud and clear
You built your throne on tearing down, fueled by doubt and fear
But your negativity's it's coming back to you
I'm not defined by your harsh words, I'm breaking through (Outro)
Breaking through, breaking free
Your "you suck" means nothing to me
So say it again, if it makes you feel grand
I'm too busy building, to understand.
