Lyrics
Yeah, I’m standin’ tall, while they throwin’ stones,
If nobody’s talkin’, then I must be alone.
Rejection in my ear, but I’m claimin’ the throne,
‘Cause if they ain’t hatin’, I ain’t makin’ it known.
They criticizin’ heavy, that’s how I know I’m alive,
If I ain’t got no haters, then I ain’t in the drive.
I’m here to make waves, no calm in the sea,
In a storm of opinions, I’m just gonna be me.
If you ain’t got critics, are you even here?
Playin’ it safe is a move outta fear.
Haters in my face, man, that’s just right,
I’m makin’ my mark, soarin’ to new heights.
I’m in the game, no sittin’ on the side,
The critics watch close, but I’m ready to ride.
They talk their talk, but I’m walkin’ my way,
If they hatin’, that means I’m here to stay.
I’m in the fight, I’m takin’ the blows,
Critics all around, but I already know.
If they throw shade, man, I still glow,
I’m on the field, and I’m runnin’ the show.
Theodore said it, the man in the ring,
That’s who’s countin’, not the ones who fling.
Opinions in the stands, but they ain’t on my path,
Dust and sweat, yo, that’s the aftermath.
If they hate, that’s a sign I’m on the right track,
I ain’t backin’ down, no, I ain’t holdin’ back.
Couric said it too, you can’t please ’em all,
So let them all balk while I stand up tall.
They’re throwin’ shade ’cause they fear the light,
I’ll keep pushin’ through, I’ll keep up the fight.
Haters on the left, critics on the right,
But I’m still in the game, ignorin their slight.
I’m in the game, no sittin’ on the side,
The critics watch close, but I’m ready to ride.
They talk their talk, but I’m walkin’ my way,
If they hatin’, that means I’m here to stay.
I’m in the fight, I’m takin’ the blows,
Critics all around, but I already know.
If they throw shade, man, I still glow,
I’m on the field, and I’m runnin’ the show.
Hubbard said it clear, do nothin’, be nothin’,
But that ain’t my path, I’m here for somethin’.
You wanna stay safe? Stay out of my way,
Built for the pressure, I’ll rise every day.
They fear the truth ’cause it hits ’em deep,
I’ll keep on movin’, I’ll take the leap.
Maraboli said, they just scared of what’s real,
But I’m playin’ my cards, I’m makin’ the deal.
I’m in the game, no sittin’ on the side,
The critics watch close, but I’m ready to ride.
They talk their talk, but I’m walkin’ my way,
If they hatin’, that means I’m here to stay.
I’m in the fight, I’m takin’ the blows,
Critics all around, but I already know.
If they throw shade, man, I still glow,
I’m on the field, and I’m runnin’ the show.
Yeah, I’m standin’ tall, while they throwin’ stones,
If nobody’s talkin’, then I must be alone.
Rejection in my ear, but I’m claimin’ the throne,
‘Cause if they ain’t hatin’, I ain’t makin’ it known.
They criticizin’ heavy, that’s how I know I’m alive,
If I ain’t got no haters, then I ain’t in the drive.
I’m here to make waves, no calm in the sea,
In a storm of opinions, I’m just gonna be me.
