Watch Me Become

[Verse 1]
They said I’d never make it
Said I was dreaming too loud
Talked down on my name
Tried to shrink me for the crowd
I took every little comment
Turned it into gasoline
Now I’m walking in the fire
And the flames look good on me (oh yeah)

[Chorus]
They thought I couldn’t do it
Said I’d never be a thing
Now I’m standing on the rooftop
Letting all these echoes sing
I turned all their criticizing
Into my new reality
I made it
I made it
Now watch me become who I’m meant to be
Yeah
Watch me become who I’m meant to be (hey!)

[Verse 2]
Late nights
Heavy eyelids
Still I kept my focus clear
Had to learn to be my own voice
When I couldn’t get a cheer
Now the same ones in the comment lines
Trying to claim they always knew
Funny how the tables turn
When you finally see it through (woah)

[Chorus]
They thought I couldn’t do it
Said I’d never be a thing
Now I’m standing on the rooftop
Letting all these echoes sing
I turned all their criticizing
Into my new reality
I made it
I made it
Now watch me become who I’m meant to be
Yeah
Watch me become who I’m meant to be

[Bridge]
This is for the kid in the back row
Heart big
But the voice feels small
Keep going when they don’t clap
You don’t need their praise at all
Every “never” is a promise
You can flip
You can rewrite
Turn the doubt into your fuel
Light it up and hit the sky (hit the sky)

[Chorus]
They thought I couldn’t do it
Said I’d never be a thing
Now I’m standing on the rooftop
Letting all these echoes sing
I turned all their criticizing
Into my new reality
I made it
I made it
Now watch me become who I’m meant to be
Yeah
Watch me become who I’m meant to be
(now watch me, watch me)
Yeah
Watch me become who I’m meant to be
