Karaoké My Name From Ashes to New

Almost all my life they told me that I couldn't

Dreamin' every night

They told me that I shouldn't

Told me that I should've quit

That I'll never finish it

That I'll never reach the top and no one knows that I exist

But I kept climbin'

Kept grindin' every day

And I kept writin' everything I had to say

Now they wanna shut me up

Shut me in, shut me out

Yeah I'd be mad too if someone made me shut my mouth

But it's different when you never had a voice

When no one ever listened so you never had a choice

Never had a path

Only people in your way

Never had a mask or a reason to be fake

All you had was you and a reason to succeed

All you had to do was keep believin' in the dream

All you ever knew was bein' weak and on your knees but you're only gonna lose if you don't learn from your defeats

Yeah

Gotta make the world know my name

I've got my head in the clouds

My feet on the ground

Yeah I'm standin' out and I am not afraid

With my head in the clouds

Never lookin' down

Yeah I'll never stop until the world knows my name

I wish I could go back

Back when we were kids

When everything had passion with everything we did

Everything was honest

Everything that we were promised

And the thought of what we wanted is what makes it so ironic

That it's different than the shit that we were told

How the rules were written

How the story really goes

Everyone's your friend

Give everyone a chance

So everyone pretends that they really give a damn

Man fuck that

Nothin's ever what it seems

People steppin' over people

People preyin' on the weak

'Cos it's business and we're feedin' the machine

Time is money, money's livin' so we live with the disease

What happened to the magic

What happened to the thrill

What happened to the passion

The way we used to feel

All we see is fashion

Fame and dollar bills

And now I'm lookin' back

I wish the world I saw was real

I've got my head in the clouds

My feet on the ground

Yeah I'm standin' out and I am not afraid

With my head in the clouds

Never lookin' down

Yeah I'll never stop until the world knows my name

I woke up one day with the world outside tellin' me I should walk away

But I can't

I won't break

That's how I know it

Everything will be okay

I woke up one day

I woke up one day with the world outside tellin' me I should walk away

But I can't

I won't break

That's how I know that everything will be okay

I woke up one day

I woke up one day with the world outside tellin' me I should walk away

But I can't

I won't break

I'm gonna make the world know my name

I've got my head in the clouds

My feet on the ground

Yeah I'm standin' out and I am not afraid

With my head in the clouds

Never lookin' down

Yeah I'll never stop until the world knows my name

I woke up one day with the world outside

Yeah eh

Oh oh

Yeah eh

Oh oh tellin' me I should walk away

But I can't

I won't break

Yeah eh

Oh oh

I'll make the world know my name

I'll make the world know my name

I woke up one day with the world outside

Yeah eh

Oh oh

Yeah eh

Oh oh tellin' me I should walk away

But I can't

I won't break

Yeah eh

Oh oh

I'll make the world know my name

I'll make the world know my name
