Own my name

Used to hide behind the lines
Kept my light on maybe mode
They told me: You don't fit the mold
But now I break, I break that code

No masks
I walk like I was born to shine
You can't shrink a heart so proud
My story, my destine

Every scar, every shade
Every choice that I have made
Built me strong, not ashamed
No, I won't be erased

I own my name, no fear
I was made like this, and I won't change
You can't bend the truth, it don't break
I'm not lost, I'm just awake
Say it loud, I'm not your shame
Love myself and I stake that claim
Born with fire in my veins
And I own my name

(Ah-ah) own my name
(Ah-ah) not your game
(Ah-ah) no one to tame
(Ah-ah) I own my name

They said: Tone it down a bit
But my colors don't do pale
They tried silence, guilt, and grit
But babe, that ship sailed

I don't march in single file
I've got glitter in my step
I'm not here to fit your style
I'm here to take the next

Every fall, every fight
Carved the courage in my light
You can judge, but I won't hide
This is me, and I feel right

I own my name, no fear
I was made like this, and I won't change
You can't bend the truth, it don't break
I'm not lost, I'm just awake
Say it loud, I'm not your shame
Love myself and I stake that claim
Born with fire in my veins
And I own my name

No apology, No disguise
No edits, No compromise
So take a seat, I'm writing my own history

I own my name, no fear
I was made like this, and I won't change
You can't bend the truth, it don't break
I'm not lost, I'm just awake
Say it proud, scream my name
I'm not here to play your game
Born with fire in my veins
And I own my name

(Ah-ah) own it, love it
(Ah-ah) I own my name
