Stuck inside a box, they tryna keep me contained
But I'm breaking out, ain't no way I'm staying the same
-- Living by their rules, it's got me feeling so drained
-- But I'm done pretending, I'm done playing their game
They try to hold me back, like I ain't good enough
-- But I see through their lies, I know I am tough
-- I don't need their approval, I don't need their love
I'll be my own hero, I'll rise above
They say I should be quiet, that I should smile more
-- But I won't be silenced, I won't be ignored
I'll use my voice, I'll make my mark
I'll leave my own legacy, I'll make my own art
They tell me to stay small, to not take up much space
But I'm here to break down walls, to claim my own place
I won't apologize for taking up room
I won't hide my light, I'll shine bright like the moon
-- So I'll keep climbing higher, I'll keep pushing through
-- I'll do it my own way, there's nothing else to do
I'll be my own rockstar, I'll be my own queen
I won't let their expectations define me, I'll be free to be me

Caught in your gaze, my heart in a cage
-- Hair and makeup, shiny chains
But I'm breaking free, I'm taking the stage
A bird in a cage, now spread my wings
Silence and fear, my constant companion
-- Bruises and tears, my constant reminder
-- But I'm finding my voice, I'm raising it loud
A phoenix from ashes, stand tall and proud
-- So watch me rise, from the ashes of your lies
See me shine, I'm taking back what's mine
-- You held me down, now I'm breaking through
Goodbye to the old, hello to the new
-- Your words were sharp, like knives in my skin
But I'm stronger now, I won't let you win
-- I'm finding my power, I'm taking control
-- No more staying small, no more playing your role
-- I used to think, you were all I deserved
-- But my worth is more, than what you observed
I'm done with your games, I'm done with your lies
I'm taking back my life, no more compromise
