SPOILER

V6

[Intro] (Fast guitar riff. Footsteps. Distant Gotham sirens.) They said I didn't belong. So I showed up anyway. They said I wasn't ready. So I got ready. They said I couldn't be one of them. ... Okay. Let's see about that. [Verse 1] I never had the perfect plan. Never had the perfect hand. I wasn't born into the mask. I wasn't trained to take the task. I just saw a city falling apart and decided I could play a part. Call me reckless. Call me loud. But I'll still stand when you don't come around. [Pre-Chorus] I don't need permission. I don't need a crown. You can tell me to go home... I'll probably stick around. [Chorus] CALL ME SPOILER! I'M CRASHING THE PARTY! You thought I wouldn't make it? Well, that's too bad, Batman. I'm not your shadow. I'm not your clone. I'm gonna build a legacy that I can call my own. You can underestimate me. You can count me out. But every time you shut the door... I'll find another way around. [Verse 2] I learned the rules. I learned the fight. Learned how to disappear into the Gotham night. Then came the moment when the mask changed shape. For a little while, I wore the name. Robin. I thought maybe that would finally prove I belonged. But wearing someone else's symbol doesn't make you someone else. [Pre-Chorus] I don't need to become the girl you expected. I don't need to fit inside somebody else's legend. If the cape doesn't fit... I'll make my own. [Chorus] CALL ME SPOILER! I'M STILL STANDING! Every time they tell me I can't, I come back demanding. I'm not your shadow. I'm not your clone. I'm gonna build a legacy that I can call my own. You can underestimate me. You can count me out. But every time you shut the door... I'll find another way around. [Bridge] (Music suddenly drops to acoustic guitar.) Maybe I'm not the strongest. Maybe I'm not the fastest. Maybe I'm not the smartest person in the room. But I know something they don't. I don't quit. Not when I'm scared. Not when I'm hurt. Not when somebody tells me I'm not enough. Because I've spent my whole life being underestimated. And maybe... that's exactly what makes me dangerous. [Build] (Drums return.) You wanted a perfect hero? Wrong girl. You wanted someone who follows every rule? Wrong girl. You wanted someone who would stay down? ... You definitely picked the wrong girl. [Breakdown] (Guitars explode.) I'M STILL HERE! I'M STILL FIGHTING! I'M STILL RUNNING STRAIGHT INTO THE FIRE! You can take the cape! You can take the title! But you can't take what's inside me! [Final Chorus] CALL ME SPOILER! SAY IT LOUD! I DON'T NEED TO BE THE HERO YOU ALLOWED! I'VE GOT MY OWN MASK! I'VE GOT MY OWN NAME! I'VE BEEN THROUGH THE FIRE AND I'M STILL IN THE GAME! I WAS ROBIN! I DON'T REGRET IT! But I'm done trying to prove that I deserve it! I'm Stephanie Brown! I'm still standing tall! And if Gotham wants a hero... I'll answer the call! [Outro] (Music becomes bright and energetic.) They called me a mistake. They called me reckless. They called me impossible. ... Good. I'd rather be impossible. (Pause.) Spoiler. Still here. Still fighting. Still me. [Final sound] A playful guitar riff followed by a Gotham siren fading into the distance.
