better than my yesterday

Title: Better Than Yesterday Intro Yeah… People talking, people watching… But I’m focused on something bigger. Listen. Verse 1 I hear the whispers when I’m walking through the door, Everybody judging like they know me to the core. Trying to read my moves like a headline in the press, But they never see the battles that I fight inside my chest. Yeah I wonder what they thinking when they look into my face, If they see a quiet storm or just another in the race. But opinions come and go like the wind in the air, I stopped carrying their weight, it was never mine to bear. Verse 2 Used to check reflections in the eyes of the crowd, Searching for approval just to make my people proud. But I learned real quick that the loudest voices lie, Half the ones who judge you couldn’t last a day inside your mind. So I started moving silent, building strength every night, Turning doubts into fuel every time that I write. They can stare, they can talk, they can question my way, But the only competition is the me from yesterday. Hook / Chorus I don’t care what they say, what they think, what they know, I’m just climbing every mountain that’s inside of my soul. Every scar, every fall, every step that I take, I’m becoming someone stronger with every mistake. Let them watch, let them judge, let them stand in my way, I’m not racing with the world — just yesterday. Verse 3 See the mirror never lies when the room gets quiet, It reminds me every day that the grind is a riot. No applause in the night when the work gets done, Just a man and his thoughts and the rise of the sun. Every lesson that I learned came wrapped in pain, But the struggle carved the fire running through my veins. So if they think they know me from the moves that I make, Tell them greatness isn’t noise — it’s the risks that you take. Verse 4 I’ve been calm when the storm tried to pull me apart, Kept a kingdom in my mind and a lion in my heart. Every loss turned a page in the story I write, Every shadow made the hunger for the victory bright. They can doubt every step, every dream that I claim, But the fire in my chest doesn’t play by their game. I’m evolving every second, every breath that I breathe, Yesterday was the rival that I came to defeat. Hook / Chorus I don’t care what they say, what they think, what they know, I’m just climbing every mountain that’s inside of my soul. Every scar, every fall, every step that I take, I’m becoming someone stronger with every mistake. Let them watch, let them judge, let them stand in my way, I’m not racing with the world — just yesterday. Outro So let them talk… Let them guess… Let them wonder who I am. While they’re busy watching me — I’m busy becoming a better man.
