Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah...
All my life I been holdin' it down for everybody else,
But now... it's my time.
Watch me soar.
[Verse 1]
I gave my heart, gave my soul, played the background,
Carried all the weight, never let the fam down.
Silent with the pain, still I kept a brave face,
Dreams on the shelf just to keep the bills paid.
But I ain't tryna fade in the shadow no more,
Locked in a cage but I'm breaking the door.
Life too short just to settle and comply,
Spreadin' my wings--yo, it's time to fly.
[Hook]
I been livin' for the world, now I'm livin' for me,
Gave it all away, now it's time to be free.
No chains, no lies, I'm reaching the sky,
This is my moment, yeah--it's my time to fly.
[Verse 2]
Always said "yes," when my spirit screamed "no,"
Helpin' everybody else while my own dreams froze.
Played the role they wrote, like a script I ain't choose,
Now I'm breakin' every line, I got nothin' to lose.
I'm the storm and the calm, I'm the fire and the rain,
Every scar that I carry just a badge of the pain.
But pain builds strength, and strength builds rise,
Now I'm higher than the hate, I'm alive in the skies.
[Hook]
I been livin' for the world, now I'm livin' for me,
Gave it all away, now it's time to be free.
No chains, no lies, I'm reaching the sky,
This is my moment, yeah--it's my time to fly.
[Bridge]
They said "wait your turn," but my turn's right now,
I'm the voice, I'm the flame, I'm the truth, I'm the sound.
From the struggle, from the grind, from the nights I cried,
To the crown on my soul--watch me claim my life.
[Final Hook]
I been livin' for the world, now I'm livin' for me,
Gave it all away, now it's time to be free.
No chains, no lies, I'm reaching the sky,
This is my moment, yeah--it's my time to fly.
[Outro]
Fly... fly...
It's my time now.
Ain't no stopping me.
