Текст песни
Took the long road, now I’m here
Cap and gown, but I still got fear
Family eyes when I walk that stage
All that pressure, it sat on me for years
Late-night books, red pen marks
Empty bus home, cold in the dark
Now the room shake when I step inside
I been built for the hardest part
No handout, I had to grind
Every setback paid in time
When they said I’d never make it out
Look at me now, I’m right on time
Hear that roar when I cross that line
Whole place up, they know it’s mine
Tears on my cheek, I don’t hide that
I earned this glow, I’m past that
Cap and gown, make it loud
Cap and gown, this is ours
We came up, we held it down
Now watch me lift off, right now
Cap and gown, make it loud
Cap and gown, this is ours
One more shout for the lost and found
We made it through, look at us now
Last day, I was counting breaths
Told myself, “Don’t fold yet”
Seen my mum at the back of the hall
Hands on her face, that’s love, that’s depth
Shoes scuffed up, shirt too clean
Didn’t get here off a lucky dream
Had to beat doubt, had to beat drift
Had to keep moving when it got mean
Now they clap when they call my name
All that stress turn into flame
I still got pain in the pocket
But I walk in proud and I don’t explain
Hear that roar when I cross that line
Whole place up, they know it’s mine
Tears on my cheek, I don’t hide that
I earned this glow, I’m past that
Cap and gown, make it loud
Cap and gown, this is ours
We came up, we held it down
Now watch me lift off, right now
Cap and gown, make it loud
Cap and gown, this is ours
One more shout for the lost and found
We made it through, look at us now
From the first bell to the final day
I kept my head on straight
If I ever doubted my own name
Tonight, I put that doubt in the grave
No more sleep with the weight on me
No more “maybe, no more “please
I’m standing tall in the hard-earned truth
This is mine, and it’s seen by me
