I put down the razor,
put down the blade.
That's not why I'm here,
not why I was made.

I'm going to make a difference,
I have faith in myself.
You constantly doubting me
won't put me down.

I've got on my armor,
got on my suit.
I'm ready to fight,
I've tied up my boots.

I'm going to stay strong,
I'm doing this for me.
I won't give up,
just wait and see.

I've won this battle,
but that doesn't mean it's the end.
It's just the beginning,
but now it's in my hands.
