[Verse 1] I learned my worth in the arithmetic of loss Built my ambition from the things it cost Head held low but my vision stays high I won't play small just to satisfy No silver spoon, no birthright to claim Just a thousand dead ends and a reason to end I can't respect you without stepping aside There's a difference between humble and denied [Chorus] I want the best, I'll work for it Head held high, but my feet in the dirt I know my worth, I know what I moved Nothing is given, so watch, we take hold [Verse 2] I know worst, I know what I owed Nothing is given, so watch, we take hold [Chorus] I want the best, I'll work for it Head held high, but my feet in the dirt I know my worth, I know what I moved Nothing is given, so watch, we take hold [Verse 3] I won't let pride turn my heart into stone Won't climb to the summit by crushing my own Yes successes and failure Are crowding my mind I'll carve out my future One inch at a time [Chorus] I can't bow my head without killing ambition I can't show respect without asking permission I want the best, I'll work for it Head held high, but my feet in the dirt I know my worst, I know what I'm owed Nothing is given, so watch me take hold [Outro] No, no, words I never fall for
