If Not Me Then Who

Writing If Not Me, Then Who Verse 1 I woke up with a fire they couldn't put out, Pocket full of dreams, head full of doubt. I've been knocked down, I've been counted out, But I learned what the struggle's all about. Ain't waiting on luck, ain't waiting on fate, I'm kicking down every locked-up gate. If I don't chase mine, who's gonna make it come true? I look in the mirror—if not me, then who? Chorus If not me, then who? If not now, then when? I'll rise from the dirt and do it again. They can tell me I can't, but I know what I can do, Ain't nobody coming—if not me, then who? If not me, then who? I'm seeing this through, No matter how hard, I'll do what I gotta do. When the whole world asks, "Who?" I point to the mirror and say, me—I choose. Verse 2 I remember every "no," every "you won't make it," Every time they tried to break what I created. Pressure makes diamonds, fire makes steel, Pain taught me how determination feels. I don't need permission to chase what is mine, One step at a time, I'm crossing that line. Every scar on my soul got a story to tell, Every time I fell, I learned to stand well. Chorus If not me, then who? If not now, then when? I'll rise from the dirt and do it again. They can doubt my name, they can doubt what I do, But I'll keep moving forward—if not me, then who? I ain't looking for a hand, I ain't waiting for a clue, I'm building my future with the things that I do. When the whole world asks, "Who?" I point to the mirror and say, me—I choose. Verse 3 What you gonna do when nobody believes? What you gonna say when they tell you to leave? Fold or fight? Run or stand tall? I chose to keep climbing every time I fall. Turned my pain into power, my wounds into scars, Kept chasing my dreams no matter how far. The road gets rough, but I'm built to get through, I don't need the world—I just need to know what to do. Verse 4 So when tomorrow comes and the road gets rough, I'll look at that mountain and say, "I've had enough." Then I'll climb even higher, 'cause I've come too far, Turned my darkest nights into who I are. This life is mine, and I'm calling the shots, I'll give everything I've got till there's nothing I've got. So when they ask who's gonna make this dream come true, I won't look around—I'll say, if not me, then who? Final Chorus If not me, then who? If not now, then when? I'll rise from the dirt and do it again. No matter what they say, no matter what I go through, I'll keep standing tall—if not me, then who? If not me, then who? I'm seeing this through, This is my life, and I'm gonna do what I do. When the whole world asks, "Who?" I point to the mirror and say, me—I choose. Did you like this feature?
