"This is the most intense song you've ever wrote" - My music teacher, Antonio Chiappetta when I was writing & performing this song.
"Everything from Me" is about 2 things.
First, it’s about fighting back from everything you have lost and facing your past tormentors and being able to move on from the conflict that’s been going on. It's also about breaking the stereotypes of the weak, that they are useless and such but deep inside, they are able to move on.
Second is about my battle from 12 years of being bullied and everything that happened to me just to get through it.
This song is kinda like my YouTube channel as it contains a message, a message that I think that should be heard and it has given me a voice on how my school life was and how it hurt me but I managed to be strong with the battle scars imprinted in my emotions.
Also... sorry if I suck at rapping.
lyrics
Chorus: [Sang]
You can take everything from me
But you wouldn't see what I could be
V1: [Rap]
As a child I was lost in the wild
All I could do is stand out and smile
Out of nowhere, when I couldn't see
I was attacked, they targeted me
Pre-Chorus: [Rap]
I fell to the ground
Couldn't make a sound
Praying for saviour
Finding an answer
Now its time to fight for myself
And time for you to fend for yourself
Chorus: [Sang]
You can take everything from me
But you wouldn't see what I could be
Time to rise up from the dead
And walk the path I choose instead
So I move on
V2: [Rap]
The road ahead,
They say you'll end up dead
Stuck in bed
But I refuse
I Refuse to be used
I Refused to be lied
Time to stand up
And take back my pride
Pre-Chorus [Rap]:
The world keeps spinning
Time keeps passing
Say what you want
Your words won’t hurt me
Now its time to fight for myself
And time for you to fend for yourself
Chorus: [Sang]
You can take everything from me
But you wouldn't see what I could be
Time to rise up from the dead
And walk the path I choose instead
So I move on
Bridge: [Rap]
After years of being in pain
Suicidal thoughts have flown in my brain
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But your words may never hurt me
Cuz there's a fine line between the lie and the truth
But it doesnt matter, you just have to be you
You know the old saying, haters gotta hate
This is a world for you to dominate
So if I were you, you pick up that sword,
And take back what's rightfully yours
So I move on
Chorus: [Sang]
You can take everything from me
But you wouldn't see what I could be
Time to rise up from the dead
And walk the path I choose instead
You can take everything from me
But you wouldn't see what I could be
Time to rise up from the dead
And walk the path I choose instead
So I move on
You can take everything from me
But you wouldn't see what I could be
Time to rise up from the dead
And walk the path I choose instead
