They used to tell me I wasn't smart enough,
Said I'll never make, I don't resemble the stars enough
Man, I'm just trying to get my heart to pump,
Gave my all every time, I guess my all wasn't enough
They said I talk too much, they talk enough,
Told me I should change, but never said what I should change it to
Man, I'm just trying to play the game with you,
So when you go and see I'm just me, I ain't the same as youI just wanna give my all, the rise and fall,
The world
I just wanna leave my mark upon your heart,
Oh worldWhat do I got to say? How do I got to pray?
What do I got to do? Tell me
Who do I got to be? What do you want from me?
What do I got to prove?
No matter what I do,
I'm not breaking for you, tell me
What do I got to give, how do I gotta live,
When it's not enough for you?
It's not enough for youWell, my first mistake was tryna please everybody,
Only to realize I ain't need anybody (nobody)
But all I ever wanted was acceptance,
'Til I accepted myself, now I can check that off my checklist
I am no longer checking for your guest list,
Or where I land on your best list
I look at my reflection and it tells me who the best is,
So I could never do it like the rest didI just wanna give my all, the rise and fall,
The world
I just wanna leave my mark upon your heart,
Oh worldWhat do I got to say? How do I got to pray?
What do I got to do? Tell me
Who do I got to be? What do you want from me?
What do I got to prove?
No matter what I do,
I'm not breaking for you, tell me
What do I got to give, how do I gotta live,
When it's not enough for you?
When it's not enough for youLet's goI know they wanna see me break,
I know they'd rather see me fall,
And that's the very reason why,
I'm a rise above it all
They used to say I wasn't a star,
Said I wasn't going very far,
Well, now I'm shining like a star,
And I'm screaming out my cause,
Can you call me back tomorrowWhat do I got to say? How do I got to pray?
What do I got to do? Tell me
Who do I got to be? What do you want from me?
What do I got to prove?
No matter what I do,
I'm not breaking for you, tell me
What do I got to give, how do I gotta live,
When it's not enough for you?What do I got to say? How do I got to pray?
What do I got to do? Tell me
Who do I got to be? What do you want from me?
What do I got to prove?
No matter what I do,
I'm not breaking for you, tell me
What do I got to give, how do I gotta live,
When it's not enough for you?
It's not enough for youIt's not enough for you,
It's not enough for you,
When it's not enough for you
