[Verse 1]
You think you have
Such a great point of view
So you watch and try
To tell me what I should do
Without knowing my life
Oh how selfish of you

[Chorus]

‘Cause I’m self made!

‘Cause I’m self made!
[Verse 2]

Laser focus on your purpose
Talk less, do more
[Chorus]
‘Cause you’re self made!
‘Cause you’re self made!
‘Cause you’re self made!
‘Cause you’re self made!

[Bridge: Boonie Mayfield, Giane Morris Vaughn, Together]

No competition I’m my only opponent
Haters get smaller in size the higher we fly
[Chorus: Boonie Mayfield, Giane Morris Vaughn, Together]
‘Cause we’re self made!
‘Cause we’re self made!
‘Cause we’re self made!
‘Cause we’re self made!
‘Cause we’re self made!
‘Cause we’re self made!
‘Cause we’re self made!
‘Cause we’re self made!
