You see fail
But I am talent
You want me to be silent
But my name is ECHOE
You told me I am surrounded by defeat
But I have been encouraged by delete and I will retreat
I am influenced by applause in can
I am inspired on my terms of when
You see me being no more than I am
Assured told me you are your own setback
This is my tomorrow
Your yesterday long gone
I know where I belong
You flourish on dwell
But I have stories to tell
You want me to bend like a pretzel
But my talent tells me to excel
You can’t step into my shoes because they don’t fit
Ability forms it
You just don’t measure up in size
Essence is my energize
Determination leads me
But that is not what you see
Watch me move and swirl
Captivation in attention from Earl
I am the moment
Defeat is not my conclusion
The commitment is no illusion
What you see is not what you get
It is the best yet
Today is the day
You need to get out of my way
This is my time to shine and take away
You are the runway
I am taking off
