[Verse 1]
Had a dream, I was singing in front of millions
Started when I was three, determined, I knew my mission
Had it all mapped out, college, make a killin'
By sixteen, if you would've told me what to do, I was willin'
[Pre-Chorus]
But somewhere along the way
I was sold these ideas about who I should be
I'm getting back to me
Focused, I'm focused, I'm finally becoming who I was meant to be
[Chorus]
And I'm not ready to be selfless
I'm not ready to be selfless
'Cause if you fall in love
You'll be in competition with my ambition
You'll lose
You'll lose
You'll lose
You'll lose every time
'Cause I'm entitled to mine
I'm entitled to mine
[Verse 2]
He was a dream dressed like everything I needed
Whispered sweet nothings and I believed him
Manipulated to think without him, I'd be defeated
I abandoned all my dreams to make sure he succeeded
[Pre-Chorus]
And somewhere along the way
I lost sight of all I was meant to be
I'm getting back to me
Focused, I'm focused, I'm finally becoming all I set out to be
[Chorus]
And I'm not ready to be selfless
I'm not ready to be selfless
'Cause if you fall in love
You'll be in competition with my ambition
And you'll lose
You'll lose
You'll lose
You'll lose every time
'Cause I'm entitled to mine
I'm entitled to mine
[Bridge]
And I've made my peace with this
I've made my peace with this
I've made my peace with this
[Chorus]
And I'm not ready to be selfless
I'm not ready to be selfless
'Cause if you fall in love
You'll be in competition with my ambition, huh
And you'll lose
You'll lose
You'll lose
You'll lose every time
'Cause I'm entitled to mine
I'm entitled to mine
