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
