Treading water, my head goes underneath
They told me that I should breathe in deep
When they crawl back, we're not hearing their apology

They said that one was enough, and that's all you get
It's fine, everything's in your head
Well, I've got thick skin
So I cut my teeth on their glass ceiling

We're in the fight of our lives, we came from the bottom
There's no keeping us down
In the fight of our lives, we won't be forgotten
Do you hear us now?

So cut our tongues from my throats
Drain my blood, break my bones
You're not in control
In the fight of our lives, you'll be forgotten
So keep the gate 'cause we're coming for the throne

Stack the odds right up against me
Call this pigeon-hole opportunity
Head full of dreams
Where we're begging for scraps from the powers that be

Pass the buck from your left to your right hand
Someone's problem that's no skin off your back
We don't come this far, to just get this far
So we'll take the ace from your house of cards

We're in the fight of our lives, we came from the bottom
There's no keeping us down
In the fight of our lives, we won't be forgotten
Do you hear us now?

So cut our tongues from my throats
Drain my blood, break my bones
You're not in control
In the fight of our lives, you'll be forgotten
So keep the gate 'cause we're coming for the throne

The king of the castle won't open the door
But the fire burns brighter than ever before
This is where history is rewrote

We will not be ignored
We will not be ignored
We will not be ignored

Maybe with heaven's help
You'll finally ask yourself
What the hell made you think you were ever a king?

We're in the fight of our lives, we came from the bottom
There's no keeping us down
In the fight of our lives, we won't be forgotten
Do you hear us now?

So cut our tongues from my throats
Drain my blood, break my bones
You're not in control
In the fight of our lives, you'll be forgotten
So keep the gate 'cause we're coming for the throned
