I AM
Sick Individuals & Axwell ft. Renee Lyrics

They tell you a good girl is quiet
Society expects women to be passive and not cause trouble

And that you should never ask why
Questioning the norm is discouraged

Cause it only makes it harder to fit in
Being different is ostracizing

And you should be happy, excited
Happiness is mandatory regardless of circumstances

Even if you're just invited
Being acknowledged by popular people is considered a privilege

Cause the winners need someone to clap for them
People of influence need validation

It's so hard just waiting
Being passive and waiting is frustrating

In a line that never moves
Waiting without any progress or change is pointless

It's time you started making
Taking action and making a change is necessary

Your own rules
Creating your own standards and values is empowering

You gotta scream until there's nothing left
Persisting and fighting for what you believe in is necessary

With your last breath
Giving your all to achieve your goals is important

Say here I am
Declaring your presence and worth to the world is vital

Make em listen
Demanding attention and respect is key

Cause there is no way you'll be ignored
Refusing to be overlooked or disregarded any longer is necessary

Not anymore
You will no longer accept being silenced or ignored

You only get one life to work it
You have limited time to make the most of your opportunities

So who cares if it's not perfect
Perfection is unattainable and striving for it is fruitless

Say "it's close enough to perfect for me"
Accepting imperfections and being content with progress is liberating

Why should you hide from the thunder
Avoiding obstacles and challenges is counterproductive

And the lightening that your under
The pressure and scrutiny you experience are unavoidable

Cause there ain't nobody else you want to be
Being true to yourself is the most fulfilling path to take

If how your living isn't working
If your current lifestyle isn't beneficial, it needs to be changed

There's one thing that'll help
Taking action and changing your circumstances is the best solution

You got to finally just stop searching
Stop looking externally for solutions, it's time to look inward

To find yourself
Discovering your true identity and purpose is important

The world better make some room
The world needs to accommodate and accept you

Yea move over, over
It's time for others to make space

Cause your coming through
You are ready to take your place and become visible

Here I am
You are finally ready to declare your presence and worth to the world
