You think you know who I am

But you don't have a clue

You ain't nothing but a stranger.

Your words may hurt for a while

But after a while

They can only make me stronger.

And I do, do the best that I can

But you keep bringing me down

Don't you know I'm only human?

And I never said that I was perfect

And I'm still learning

Every day I'm getting better.

Everything that you say and

Anything that you do to try to hurt me

I use it as motivation.

Go on try to shame me and

Tell me how you hate me

It won't break me

I use it as motivation.

No matter, no matter how hard I try

I know that in your eyes

I'll never be good enough.

So easy for you to just assume things

Yeah you know you can't judge me

When you've never walked a mile in these shoes.

Everything that you say and

Anything that you do to try to hurt me

I use it as motivation.

Go on try to shame me and

Tell me how you hate me

It won't break me

I use it as motivation.

Oh oh...

I use it as motivation.

I walk a little faster

I scream a little louder

I work a little harder.

I run a little faster

I scream a little louder

I use it as motivation.

Everything that you say and

Anything that you do to try to hurt me

I use it as motivation.

Go on try to shame me and

Tell me how you hate me

It won't break me

I use it as motivation.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...

I use it as motivation.
