[Intro] [percussive acoustic guitar strumming with palm-muted slaps] [female vocals, breathy tone] [Verse 1] Been criticized, ostracized Hardly ever recognized For who I am, all I can do Played the part of such a fool Always underestimated Never seen for who I am Controlled and manipulated I was constantly berated Don't waste your time, I won't let you win You can't judge me, I'll own my sins Don't even try [bass guitar enters] 'Cause this is my life [Chorus] [strumming becomes more open and driving] Words that cut me 'til I bled Pain that left me almost dead Now I'm stronger than before I won't be taunted anymore No, no, you don't control me I won't ever let you own me No one will ever tame me Because nothing shames me [Bridge] [vocal shifts to melodic vocalizing and falsetto runs] Oh, oh, oh [sustained high notes] Oh, oh, oh [acoustic guitar continues rhythmic slapping] [Verse 2] Don't want acceptance or approval I welcome your removal Because I am all I need I am fierce indeed [Chorus] [vocal intensity increases] Words that cut me 'til I bled Pain that left me almost dead Now I'm stronger than before I won't be taunted anymore No, no, you don't control me I won't ever let you own me No one will ever tame me Because nothing shames me [Outro] [falsetto ad-libs] Yeah, I am fierce indeed I am fierce indeed [final percussive guitar slap] [copyright © 2026 Kiki Kutie — unauthorized use or reproduction is prohibited]
