Laughingstock

[Chorus]
I used to be a laughingstock, but not anymore
I picked myself up and was ready to soar
No longer was my life an endless chore
I'm already at the top, what're you waiting for?
I used to be a laughingstock, but the tides have turned
Respect and dignity was finally earned
Future looks bright, no need to be concerned
To never lose hope is what I learned

[Verse 1]
Life wasn't easy like it is today
Times were dark, kneel down to pray
I felt so small, in a world so big
Drink the pain away, takе a swig
When I tried to stand, I was pushed back down (pushеd back down)
I was mocked for days and kicked out of town (kicked out of town)
I was made a fool, it hurt to go outside (go outside)
I came back home, I cried and cried (cried and cried)

[Chorus]
I used to be a laughingstock, but not anymore
I picked myself up and was ready to soar
No longer was my life an endless chore
I'm already at the top, what're you waiting for?
I used to be a laughingstock, but the tides have turned
Respect and dignity was finally earned
Future looks bright, no need to be concerned
To never lose hope is what I learned

[Verse 2]
My legs were broken from this hell
I tried to get back up, but I just fell
I was drowning in a sea of hate
Having a friend would've been great
I've been kicked in the face for way too long (way too long)
I wanted to fight back but they were just too strong (just too strong)
One day I knew that these tables would turn (tables would turn)
Maybe then these assholes will learn (assholes will learn!)

[Chorus]
I used to be a laughingstock, but not anymore
I picked myself up and was ready to soar
No longer was my life an endless chore
I'm already at the top, what're you waiting for?
I used to be a laughingstock, but the tides have turned
Respect and dignity was finally earned
Future looks bright, no need to be concerned
To never lose hope is what I learned

[Bridge]
Ooh!
I stand the fuck up, get the fuck down!
It's time for me to wear this crown
I put my foot down, it's my time to shine
This is my time, get back in line!

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to be a laughingstock, but not anymore
I picked myself up and was ready to soar
No longer was my life an endless chore
I'm already at the top, what're you waiting for

[Chorus]
I used to be a laughingstock, but not anymore
I picked myself up and was ready to soar
No longer was my life an endless chore
I'm already at the top, what're you waiting for?
I used to be a laughingstock, but the tides have turned
Respect and dignity was finally earned
Future looks bright, no need to be concerned
To never lose hope is what I learned
