[Intro] Yeah... they see the hair before they see me, Let me fix that real quick. [Verse 1] Silver hair, violet eyes, yeah I know what you assume, Walk into the room, watch the whispers start too soon. "She's the ghost, she's the copy, she's the one they warned about," Nah, I'm not a rumor, I'm the one who's speaking now. Half-elf, half history, full weight on my back, Every step I take, they're already keeping track. But I didn't ask to inherit someone's crown, I'm just tryna find my feet before they knock me down. [Pre-Chorus] So go ahead and stare, I've been stared at all my life, Go ahead and judge, I've survived worse fights. I'm not asking permission to exist in this space, I'm just trying to be kind in a cruel-ass place. [Chorus] Not a copy, not a ghost, I'm the one and only, Not here to be liked by everybody, just the ones who really know me. Kind hands, sharp mind, I don't need your validation, Watching me become myself — call it my education. Not a copy, not a shadow, I'm the whole damn story, Every step's a little scary but I'm walking into glory. [Verse 2] You looked at me like I was more than just a face, Didn't flinch, didn't run, didn't need to keep your pace. That's rare, that's real, that's something I remember, When everyone else quit in the middle of December. So now I'm sharper, now I'm steadier on my feet, Every step forward, every step complete. I'm not soft 'cause I'm weak, I'm soft 'cause I chose to be, Kindness is a weapon when the world's this cold, see? [Pre-Chorus] So go ahead and stare, I've been stared at all my life, Go ahead and judge, I've survived worse fights. I'm not asking permission to exist in this space, I'm just trying to be kind in a cruel-ass place. [Chorus] Not a copy, not a ghost, I'm the one and only, Not here to be liked by everybody, just the ones who really know me. Kind hands, sharp mind, I don't need your validation, Watching me become myself — call it my education. Not a copy, not a shadow, I'm the whole damn story, Every step's a little scary but I'm walking into glory. [Outro] Not a copy... never was, never will be, This is me — finally, finally free.
