[Intro] Yeah, alright Walk in with a plan, leave with a story [Verse 1] I keep a folded map in the pocket of my coat Not for getting lost, it reminds me where I’m headed most Corner-store coffee, receipt tucked in the seam Small-town kid with a full-size dream I don’t need a room to tell me I belong I bring the proof in every line of every song When the door stays shut, I learn the window’s frame Turn a quiet little spark into a household flame [Pre-Chorus] You can count me out, I’ll count the steps Turn the pressure into something I can flex No borrowed crown, no rented throne I built this rhythm from the bricks I’ve known [Chorus] Big step, big heart, big sound Feet on the floor when the bass comes round Hands up, let the whole place know We came from a little, now we run the show Big step, big heart, don’t fold Made our own lane, never did what we’re told Say my name when the lights turn on I was ready all along, now the waiting’s gone [Verse 2] I know the names of the ones who held me down The friend with the old car, the aunt across town Every late-night call, every meal split four ways Put a little more steel in the shape of my days Now the team walks in and the room gets wide No one left behind, everybody gets a side We don’t chase applause, we make the walls shake Leave a clean pair of footprints everywhere we break [Pre-Chorus] You can count me out, I’ll count the steps Turn the pressure into something I can flex No borrowed crown, no rented throne I built this rhythm from the bricks I’ve known [Chorus] Big step, big heart, big sound Feet on the floor when the bass comes round Hands up, let the whole place know We came from a little, now we run the show Big step, big heart, don’t fold Made our own lane, never did what we’re told Say my name when the lights turn on I was ready all along, now the waiting’s gone [Bridge] If you’re with me, let it ring from the back to the front If you’ve been overlooked, this is your month No permission, no pause, no turning around Put your whole truth on a beat and make it loud [Final Chorus] Big step, big heart, big sound Feet on the floor when the bass comes round Hands up, let the whole place know We came from a little, now we run the show Big step, big heart, don’t fold Made our own lane, never did what we’re told Say my name when the lights turn on I was ready all along, now the waiting’s gone [Outro] Big step Big heart We were ready all along
