[00:01.556]Your eyes get narrow when my name is read aloud
[00:05.133]You twist my success into something weird again
[00:08.978]While I'm smiling in the proud group photo of the team
[00:13.289]You whisper to your friends that I don't deserve the dream
[00:17.800]But all the cheap words that you throw at me now
[00:20.711]Roll right off my back like heavy summer rain
[00:25.756]I'm too busy climbing higher to hear your noise
[00:29.511]You pull at my shirtsleeve but I don't slow down
[00:34.089]Your panic is loud but my calm is so strong
[00:37.622]The podium stands high where I belong
[00:41.700]Your anxious little heart just feeds my fire
[00:45.744]So keep on hating me, I never get tired
[00:49.811]Cross my name off the list, I'll just climb another wall
[00:54.611]Write your worst lines on a slate, I see nothing at all
[00:58.433]Your hate is cheap fuel for my forward stride
[01:02.589]I'm building momentum, watch the downslide
[01:06.522]Chalk dust in the air
[01:10.078]Your frown cuts through the classroom glare
[01:14.122]But I'm razor-sharp, beyond compare
[01:18.878]Your panic isn't my cross to wear
[01:21.811]I'm immune to jeers
[01:23.589]Your bitter notes just bounce right off my ears
[01:30.656]I'm too busy shining for a frown
[01:34.433]Each grade I make is just another crown
[01:37.900]Watch me now
[01:38.944]You made a long list of my small flaws
[01:40.989]Each single entry written in bitter ink
[01:43.011]I read it over once and gave a shrug
[01:44.967]Then turned around and hit another golden mark
[01:47.011]Your jealousy stinks like that cheap old cologne
[01:49.544]I'm fresh out of your mind, you're stuck in a time zone
[01:51.567]You keep tabs on all my moves like a big jealous drone
[01:53.544]But I'm already miles above the noise you've thrown
[01:56.056]Your bitter comments don't dent the wall I've grown
[01:59.478]I've turned all your static into my own song
[02:03.533]Each nasty little push just makes my roots go long
[02:07.667]You're feeding the fire inside me that keeps me strong
[02:11.800]Each sneer you send is just another gust for my sail
[02:15.756]I'm turning your cold shoulder into a smooth wind trail
[02:19.978]Just watch me sail right past your little doubt
[02:23.600]I'm building a bigger ship, you're the mast
[02:27.489]Chalk dust in the air
[02:30.822]Your frown cuts through the classroom glare
[02:34.844]But I've already won the whole race
[02:39.378]So throw your tantrum, save your own face
[02:42.244]I'm still in the race
[02:44.156]Your sour little words just sharpen my blade
[02:50.533]I'm too far for your bitter parade
[02:54.978]You yell at the wall while I build my height
[02:58.467]Yeah, that's right
