Lyrics
I?m climbing up hill to no end (That?s what it feels like to me)
No matter what I do, I just can?t win, I just can?t succeed
They say, if you just believe you can receive
Anything
And why wouldn?t I believe that it could be me, it could be me
I?ll make it
You won?t appeal to the urban crowd that?s what they say to me
But I?m just singing what?s coming out of me naturally
They say, Why you gotta sing your music so country (music so country)
That?s what they say to me, and why can?t you be more like Ashanti
That?s what they say to me, yeah
I?ll make it
Don?t you let nobody take away your sense of self
You can be no one else
Just be happy with the person you are
Everyone is not a star
