Prove 'Em Wrong by A!iGotTalent

Mama said, keep walking
Even with the doubt
I learned how to eat
When the lights went out
They wanted my seat
Wanted my name to fade
But I came in the room
Like I own that stage

[Pre-Chorus]
You can point, you can stare
You can say I won’t
I got mud on my cuffs
And a fire in my throat
Every “never” they threw
Turned into a spark
I was built in the break
I was made in the dark

[Chorus]
Prove ’em wrong
Prove ’em wrong
Say it loud, say it proud
Prove ’em wrong
Prove ’em wrong
Now they all sing along
I was down, not done
Look at me now
Prove ’em wrong
Prove ’em wrong
That’s the sound

[Verse 2]
Same men at the corner
With a laugh and a joke
Same hands on the railing
Same smoke in the throat
I wore every bruise
Like a ring on my name
Kept my head in the storm
Kept my feet in the flame

Now the ledger looks different
Now the room gets quiet
When I walk in clean
They can’t fight what I buy in
Not with words, not with side-eyes
Not with cheap little lines
I turned every “boy, please”
Into “damn, he’s fine”

[Bridge]
I kept receipts in my heart
Every loss, every scar
Now they ask how I did it
I came true from the start
If you bet on my fall
You should know what you lost
I’m the answer in flesh
I’m the bill and the cost

[Final Chorus]
Prove ’em wrong
Prove ’em wrong
Say it loud, say it proud
Prove ’em wrong
Prove ’em wrong
Now they all sing along
I was down, not done
Look at me now
Prove ’em wrong
Prove ’em wrong
That’s the sound

[Verse 1] They laughed at my shoes Now they shine on the floor Said I’d fold on the block Now I’m back for more Old talk in their mouth New gold in my chain I was counting my losses Now I’m counting my gains Mama said, keep walking Even with the doubt I learned how to eat When the lights went out They wanted my seat Wanted my name to fade But I came in the room Like I own that stage [Pre-Chorus] You can point, you can stare You can say I won’t I got mud on my cuffs And a fire in my throat Every “never” they threw Turned into a spark I was built in the break I was made in the dark [Chorus] Prove ’em wrong Prove ’em wrong Say it loud, say it proud Prove ’em wrong Prove ’em wrong Now they all sing along I was down, not done Look at me now Prove ’em wrong Prove ’em wrong That’s the sound [Verse 2] Same men at the corner With a laugh and a joke Same hands on the railing Same smoke in the throat I wore every bruise Like a ring on my name Kept my head in the storm Kept my feet in the flame Now the ledger looks different Now the room gets quiet When I walk in clean They can’t fight what I buy in Not with words, not with side-eyes Not with cheap little lines I turned every “boy, please” Into “damn, he’s fine” [Pre-Chorus] You can point, you can stare You can say I won’t I got mud on my cuffs And a fire in my throat Every “never” they threw Turned into a spark I was built in the break I was made in the dark [Chorus] Prove ’em wrong Prove ’em wrong Say it loud, say it proud Prove ’em wrong Prove ’em wrong Now they all sing along I was down, not done Look at me now Prove ’em wrong Prove ’em wrong That’s the sound [Bridge] I kept receipts in my heart Every loss, every scar Now they ask how I did it I came true from the start If you bet on my fall You should know what you lost I’m the answer in flesh I’m the bill and the cost [Final Chorus] Prove ’em wrong Prove ’em wrong Say it loud, say it proud Prove ’em wrong Prove ’em wrong Now they all sing along I was down, not done Look at me now Prove ’em wrong Prove ’em wrong That’s the sound
