Madness Maddi - Make Room for Me (Spoken Word Outro) Lyrics

Before I was west coast living, song write, singing
I cried in my mother's basement
Wondering how I could make a killing
How could I take the pain endured and finally start winning
So I came up with a strategy
To make my dreams into my mission
That's when that basement turned
Into a lair for an exotic beast
Every day, I would layer my ideas
As if each one was concrete
So I challenge you, my friend
To let go of concrete thinking
Because this wild path of dream-chasing
Requires you to believe what can not be seen
It'll make some of your friends and family label you as mad, as insane
But once you block other people's unsolicited advice
You'll get a taste of freedom that's never felt so sweet
I thank God for the skills learned from being raised on survival
Then, step into the boxing ring to beat the odds
I get knocked out, rise stronger
Then stand 10 toes down
While thinking of the ones rooting for me back home
Elevation requires tearing down
Every existing human-conditioned belief
To make a foundation of your own
Society tries to put us in boxes
But you'll slowly start to see that one of my purposes on this earth
Is to break every chain to any unauthorized label they try to put on me
I'm in the process of building a legacy
So I am going to make noise
And I am going to take up space
You can either love me or hate me
But how you move only shows me
That my presence holds weight
I stroll in the building
And I tell them all to make room for me
One hand has my own table
And the other carries my authenticity, individuality
Things they could try to mimic but can not take from me
With each height, I'm turning the unreachable ceilings
Into demolished floors and repeating the process
Every level a different view
Walking into new dimensions
Of what I deem to be success
I am so proud of myself for looking forward more
And staring in the rearview mirror less
I learned the right amount of pain and passion makes one hell of a potion
The mixture of confidence and craziness makes you seize the moment
I'm witnessing every locked door spontaneously fly open
As I scream to the world
Make room for me
Madness
Thank you for listening
