What They Used to Do

Came from the bottom, climbing to the top
Had to cut off all the fakes, I don't need that love
Heard the way they talk about it, always doubting me
But look at me now, it's where I'm supposed to be
They used to laugh, used to point, said I'll never win
But I keep my head down, could always focus on the end
They would see me shining now, they would see me rise, how
For a while, had to hide from them all now
(What they used to do to me, What they used to do to me)
What they used to do to me
Talking all the trash, baby, oh
Throwing all the dirt on my name
But I'm still here, can you see the flame
They said I'll never make it, I'll never shine
But I got that fire burning deep inside
Cause every move I make, my dreams come alive
Now I'm making waves, yeah, I'm on the scene
Used to hate, used to scheme, trying to get me clean
But I keep it real, never needed no crown
Now, they wanna be my friends and they wanna come around
Yes, they wanna come around
What they used to do to me
Talking all the trash, baby, oh
Throwing all the dirt on my name
But I'm still here, can you see the flame
What they used to do to me
What they used to do to me
Talking all the trash, baby
What they used to do to me
Throwing all the dirt on my name
What they used to do to me
