You judge me by the way I look,
But that’s just a chapter, not the book
You see a face and try to define,
But I’ve been grindin’, crossing lines
I’ve seen your charts, I’ve seen your lists
You think you know, but you’ve missed
I’m not your stereotype, not your prize
I'm the truth behind the lies
Stop with the labels, stop with the talk
I’ve been walkin’ miles while you just walk
You measure success by a number’s face,
But I built mine in the hardest place
Not my worth, can’t judge me like that
I’m more than your test, more than your stats
Break the chains, tear the walls
I’m not your grade, not your calls
This heart's been through the fire,
Not a number on your wire
You can’t box me, can’t define
I’m a force, yeah, I’m divine
You talk about degrees and fame,
But I’ve been fighting, never playin’ the game
I see your eyes, and I hear your sound
But I’m climbin’ higher, never backin’ down
I’m not your test, not your paper chase
I’m the struggle, I’m the race
You think I’m just what you can see
But I’m deep, I’m everything you’ll never be
Stop with the labels, stop with the talk
I’ve been runnin’ while you just walk
You measure success by a piece of paper,
But I built mine with blood and labor
Not my worth, can’t judge me like that
I’m more than your test, more than your stats
Break the chains, tear the walls
I’m not your grade, not your calls
This heart's been through the fire,
Not a number on your wire
You can’t box me, can’t define
I’m a force, yeah, I’m divine
You can’t rank me, can’t write my name
I’m not a score, I’m not your game
I speak in truth, I speak in pain
I’m more than your paper, more than your claim
I’ve been through storms, I've been through heat
You can’t defeat me, I can’t be beat
I’m more than your label, your list, your chart
I am fire, I am art
Not my worth, can’t judge me like that
I’m more than your test, more than your stats
Break the chains, tear the walls
I’m not your grade, not your calls
This heart's been through the fire,
Not a number on your wire
You can’t box me, can’t define
I’m a force, yeah, I’m divine
