"You're too young," they said "That and you're too fat, You can't accomplish your dreams you need to be in shape to do that. You need to be able to run and take flight." I've answered all of these questions  with out discord or fight. I proved myself with action not by pounds on the scale I faced their doubts head on, every concern every wail. See doubts to me are gasoline They fuel the fire of my soul I don't need your support because there's no way I will fold See I've faced doubts all my life Proved everyone of them wrong So what's a few more pieces of kindling and wood to pile on The fire inside me the blaze it burns red Consuming my opponents I will fill them with a dread So if you're one of my doubters stand  and just ask "Who do you think you are?" And I'll take you to task.
