(Style think creed mixed with Nordic chants) Intro (Beat drops) Yeah... Listen... Chorus I see pride in the mirror, a face I recognize! I see power burnin' bright behind these determined eyes! I'm a bad-ass mother, made of stronger stuff! And you best believe, I've had just about enough! Enough of the doubt, enough of the noise, I'm listenin' now to my own damn voice! I SEE PRIDE! (Yeah!) I SEE POWER! (That's right!) A BAD-ASS MOTHER WHO DON'T TAKE NO CRAP OFF OF NOBODY! Verse 1 Used to shrink down, make myself small Apologizin' for the space I occupied, that's all Whisperin' wishes, afraid to speak my dream Drownin' in the current of somebody else's stream But the water got shallow, and I touched the ground Heard a different rhythm, a new and solid sound It was my own heartbeat, poundin' in the silence Markin' the end of my internal violence. Pre-Chorus And now the scales are fallin' from my eyes... There's a fortress in my soul that they can't capitalize... I feel the tectonic plates within me start to shift... Gettin' ready for a seismic, personal lift! Chorus I see pride in the mirror, a face I recognize! I see power burnin' bright behind these determined eyes! I'm a bad-ass mother, made of stronger stuff! And you best believe, I've had just about enough! Enough of the doubt, enough of the noise, I'm listenin' now to my own damn voice! I SEE PRIDE! (Yeah!) I SEE POWER! (That's right!) A BAD-ASS MOTHER WHO DON'T TAKE NO CRAP OFF OF NOBODY! Verse 2 Let 'em talk, let the chatter and the static rise Their words are just a cloud, I'm the sun in my own skies I built this confidence, brick by heavy brick Over a foundation that will never crack or split I walk into the room and the atmosphere adjusts Not for them, for me, 'cause in myself I trust Every scar is a medal, every flaw is a design This perfect, imperfect, powerful masterpiece is mine. Pre-Chorus And now the scales are fallin' from my eyes... There's a fortress in my soul that they can't capitalize... I feel the tectonic plates within me start to shift... Gettin' ready for a seismic, personal lift! Chorus I see pride in the mirror, a face I recognize! I see power burnin' bright behind these determined eyes! I'm a bad-ass mother, made of stronger stuff! And you best believe, I've had just about enough! Enough of the doubt, enough of the noise, I'm listenin' now to my own damn voice! I SEE PRIDE! (Yeah!) I SEE POWER! (That's right!) A BAD-ASS MOTHER WHO DON'T TAKE NO CRAP OFF OF NOBODY! (Epic Motivational Break) (Beat simplifies to a heavy, pulsing kick drum and a soaring synth pad) Break STOP. Breathe it in. This is your moment. The past is a ghost... let it go. The future is a seed... in your hands. They don't give you crowns... they try to take them. So CROWN YOURSELF. ARMOR YOURSELF... IN THE TRUTH OF WHO YOU ARE! You are the mountain! You are the fire! You are the one they couldn't break! You are the one who got back up! NOW LET THEM HEAR IT! Chorus (Full Force, Ad-Libs Galore) I SEE PRIDE! (That's my face! Yeah!) I SEE POWER! (Can't hold me back!) I'M A BAD-ASS MOTHER! (Whoa!) MADE OF STRONGER STUFF! (Tell 'em!) AND YOU BEST BELIEVE! (Oh, you better believe!) I'VE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH! (Enough!) ENOUGH OF THE DOUBT! (No more!) ENOUGH OF THE NOISE! (My voice!) I SEE PRIDE! (My pride!) I SEE POWER! (All mine!) A BAD-ASS MOTHER WHO DON'T TAKE NO CRAP OFF OF NOBODY! (Grand Finale Closer) (Music swells, then cuts to just the beat and a final, powerful vocal) Outro ...Off of NOBODY! (Beat hits three final, decisive times) Uh. Yeah. ...I'm done.
