I used to wait for the room to sign off Before I let my own lungs take up space Now I hit the floor like I own the drop Bored of playing small in a borrowed face I tore the old rulebook in two No more tally marks, no more proving to you My voice, uncut My voice, out loud You can’t put me back into that crowd I step in, locked in I cut straight through No turning back, I’m coming through I’m coming through, hey I’m coming through, hey Shout it out, I’m coming through Hands up now, hey Hands up now, hey I’m coming through, I’m coming through Old doubt comes pounding on the metal door I let it ring, then I’m not there anymore Every bruise taught me how to land and rise Now I wear my name like a flash in my eyes No mirror gets to name my place I know the cost, and I’m worth it anyway My voice, uncut My voice, out loud You can’t put me back into that crowd I step in, locked in I cut straight through No turning back, I’m coming through I’m coming through, hey I’m coming through, hey Shout it out, I’m coming through Hands up now, hey Hands up now, hey I’m coming through, I’m coming through I won’t swallow their lies, not one more bite Done folding in to make it look polite So I slam that door and let it shake If it all comes down, I’ll be wide awake If my voice cracks, fine, I’ll sing it anyway I’ve got a whole new roar in the words I say I said my name once, now I’m screaming it clean Bigger than fear, bigger than who I used to be My voice, uncut My voice, all in You can’t pull me back, I’m not going down I step in, locked in I cut straight through No turning back, I’m breaking through No turning back, I’m making my own way I know who I am I know who I am I know who I am
