Determined

I took the steps I thought they'd want
To follow their success
Naïve and scared at the same time
Still stepping into class
Finished but followed by rejects
Kept going on, oh yeah
I am I am

Determined to follow my path
And determined to get where I should be
Oh yeah, determined for them to shine
Cause they couldn't even be
They could not be

Underestimated
It's a compliment
No it's not
Undervalued
Putting in harder work
And for what
Intimidating in advance
You do not stand a chance
But I am I am

Determined to follow my path
And determined to get where I should be
Oh yeah, determined for them to shine
Cause they couldn't even be
They could not be

It is mindset
And it is privilege
Unlearn unlearn
That stupidness
You're not better
And we're not afraid
It's time
We demand respect

Cause we're tired of your shit
And then we're tired of proving you wrong
Oh yeah, we're tired to do your work
Cause that's not what you want
It's not what you want

Oh yeah, determined to follow my path
And determined to get where I should be
Oh yeah, determined for them to shine
Cause they couldn't even be
They could not be
No they, couldn't even be
They could not be
No they could'nt even be
They could not be
No they could'nt even be
They could not be

And they should have been
