"My Name" lyrics

Almost all my life they told me that I couldn't
Dreaming every night they told me that I shouldn't
Told me that I should've quit that I'll never finish it
That I'll never reach the top and no one knows that I exist
But I kept climbing, kept grinding every day
And I kept writing everything I had to say
Now they wanna shut me up, shut me in, shut me out
Yeah I'd be mad to if someone made me shut my mouth
But it's different, when you never had a voice
When no one ever listened so you never had a choice
Never had a path only people in your way
Never had a mask or a reason to be fake
All you had was you and a reason to succeed
All you had to do was keep believing in the dream
All you ever knew was being weak and on your knees
But you're only gonna lose if you don't learn from your defeats

(Yeah, gotta make the world know my name)

I've got my head in the clouds
My feet on the ground
Yeah, I'm standing out and I am not afraid
With my head in the clouds
Never looking down
Yeah, I'll never stop
Until the world knows my name

I wish I could go back
Back when we were kids
When everything had passion
With everything we did
Everything was honest
Everything that we were promised
And the thought of what we wanted
Is what makes it so ironic that its different
Than the shit that we were told
How the rules were written how the story really goes
Everyone's your friend, give everyone a chance
So everyone pretends that they really give a damn
Man fuck that
Nothing's ever what it seems
People stepping over people, people praying on the weak
Cause its business and we're feeding the machine
Time is money, money's living so we live with the disease
What happened to the magic, what happened to the thrill
What happened to the passion, the way we used to feel
All we see is fashion, fame and dollar bills
And now I'm looking back I wish the world I saw was real

I've got my head in the clouds
My feet on the ground
Yeah, I'm standing out and I am not afraid
With my head in the clouds
Never looking down
Yeah, I'll never stop
Until the world knows my name

I woke up one day with the world outside telling me I should walk away
But I can't, I won't break, that's how I know it everything will be okay
I woke up one day with the world outside telling me I should walk away
But I can't, I won't break, that's how I know that everything will be okay
I woke up one day with the world outside telling me I should walk away
But I can't, I won't break, I'll make the world know my name

I've got my head in the clouds
My feet on the ground
Yeah, I'm standing out and I am not afraid
With my head in the clouds
Never looking down
Yeah, I'll never stop
Until the world knows my name

I woke up one day with the world outside telling me I should walk away
But I can't, I won't break, I'll make the world know my name
I woke up one day with the world outside telling me I should walk away
But I can't, I won't break, I'll make the world know my name
