Shut them out
You're sick and tired of taking their abuse
Break the rules that held all of us down
Steal the crown
They lash out
When you take a different route
Or when you don't follow the goals that they have predetermined
They reach for anything just to bring you down
And they seethe when they see you succeed
Watch them leave
They disown, you're alone, try to hide the cracks
They’ll expect you to crawl back
But they'll be the ones crawling back
I won't stop till I've reached the stratosphere
Kept me in mind
You lost focus on your life
I'll kick you while you're down like you did me
The difference being I'll be haunted by guilt
But you'd keep kicking even when I submit
Put them down
When they should be giving the kids confidence
They can't stand to see the youth succeed
They wonder
Why the kids cut them off
Or why they'd rather be defiant
And leave their doubters to suffer in silence
They wallow in guilt at the memories lost
Don't give a thought, cause they will accuse and fault you
They wonder why they are left in the unknown
Or why they have been left in their misery to die alone
I won't stop till I've reached the stratosphere
Kept me in mind
You lost focus on your life
I'll kick you while you're down like you did me
The difference being I'll be haunted by guilt
But you'd keep kicking even when I submit
