Wake up in this sad city,
Underemployed with hopes to be with diamonds in her ears
The people all around her say
"Good luck with that Can't even pay this month's rent, it nears"

Girl I'm worried for you
But it's not like her to worry

But she needs to follow the need to swallow
Pride to get to where she wants,
Pride to get to where she is
And they say she's losing the path she's choosing
Don't count her out (don't count her out), she'll seize the day

Now she's making good money,
Dreams aren't as far as they had seemed
People now, they see
And she keeps running to--she's still finding her way
She falls and rises

But it's not like her to worry
Through sweat and blood she'll see

But she needs to follow the need to swallow
Pride to get to where she wants,
Pride to get to where she is
And they say she's losing the path she's choosing
Don't count her out (don't count her out)

You can't break this faith from me,
This faith will not be raped
And it fuels my life's ambition
COME CRU$H KILL DREAM$ Try quickly,
Cause I'll shove it back in your face,
And I'll show you what I'm made of

And you can't make it (And you can't make it)
Take the dreams that you're running towards
Stop your screaming
Run until you're not alone
You are not alone
You can't have:

But she needs to follow the need to swallow
Pride to get to where she wants,
Pride to get to where she is
And they say she's losing the path she's choosing
Don't count her out (don't count her out), she'll seize the day
