When I'm out of my elements. when the winds of change and consequence
Force me to rear my ugly head and say (I've had enough, I've had enough)
When I try to vent it vent out, but the burn of the cold cuts through my mouth
Then I know that I don't know a thing of letting come what may
So I define the growing pains of facing self-deprecation
Unchecked and enabled by my fears and frustrations
If this message is true, I'm not strong enough
To carry these bags, I made mistakes (but I believed in myself). I believed in myself
No lessons to learn, stay in your lane (do you believe in yourself). You shouldn't believe in yourself
(And let them win? F*ck that! Let them in!)
I don't need my elements. Let the world put its weight on my chest
And I'll find a way to breathe, you can't make an example of me
I know the growing pains of self-deprecation
But they give way to sheer determination
Let this message be known, you can't keep me
I'll carry these scars, I've made mistakes (but I believe in myself). I believe in myself
No one can take these bags away ('cause I believe in myself). I believe in myself
The lanes painted black and white fade to grey ('cause I believe in myself). I still believe
And they can't take that from me
