All my life
I was left out
I've been ashamed of
Who I really am and
You never knew the truth
'Cause every time you asked
I never told you

But it's now
I realize
It's wrong to let others
Decide
Who I am
Who I was
I've got a lot of things
I'm dying to say
A lot of things
I never really
got to say

I'm a criminal because
I've stayed in the shadows
And never confessed the truth
I've waited
for the answers
But I never had a clue
I was born
To fight until I won
I was born
To overcome

All this time
I've had this doubt
Never trusted myself
And let others control my life
I got ******* and
Locked up in your selfish ways
When to you
I was never anything
But one huge mistake
I know now
It's wrong to hide
So hide, I will
No more
Once my eyes
Were opened wide
My energy was restored

I'm a criminal because
I've lived in the darkness
And never confessed
The truth
I don't need you
I've waited for the answers
But never had a clue

I have overcome
Who I was
I don't need you
I will never
Need you

Turn away
Or
Accept your fate
Like the criminal
You are
And I've always faced
I have overcome
