They say, Asians don′t do country music, like there’s a rule I missed
Country is only for Americans, like I wasn′t on the list
I’ve heard Go back to China, yeah, that one’s been thrown my way
And Leave country to country artists, like dreams got borders they can′t cross anyway
But I learned real early, you don′t ask permission to belong,
You just lace up your boots and prove ’em wrong.
So turn it up, let ′em talk, let ’em doubt what they see,
I′ll be right here singing loud, still chasing what’s in me.
You can draw your lines, say I′ll never be enough,
But I’m built on thick skin and a little bit of stubborn love.
If they say you don’t fit, if they say you don′t belong,
Just keep on pushing forward, yeah, that′s how you prove ’em wrong.
They′ll say the road’s too broken, say the price is way too high,
But every scar you′re carrying is just proof you tried.
You didn’t get here easy, you didn′t get here clean,
You got here by believing when nobody else believed.
So turn it up, let ’em talk, let ’em doubt what they see,
I′ll be right here singing loud, still chasing what′s in me.
You can draw your lines, say I’ll never be enough,
But I′m built on thick skin and a little bit of stubborn love.
If they say you don’t fit, if they say you don′t belong,
Just keep on pushing forward, yeah, that’s how you prove ′em wrong.
They can laugh from the sidelines, call it foolish, call it wrong,
But they weren’t there at midnight when I kept dragging on.
I bled for every inch of this, I paid every cost,
So I don’t take advice from the same ones who quit and got lost.
So turn it up, let ′em talk, let ′em doubt what they see,
I’ll be right here singing loud, still chasing what′s in me.
You can draw your lines, say I’ll never be enough,
But I′m built on thick skin and a little bit of stubborn love.
If they say you don’t fit, if they say you don′t belong,
Just keep on pushing forward, yeah, that’s how you prove ’em wrong.
