[Verse 1] Needle and thread, she's stitching her vision Fabric and fire, her own definition Ella's got scissors cutting through the noise Designing her future, making her choice Black leather jacket with the studs she placed Every single stitch is a line she traced Guitar in the corner, waiting for her hand She's building her kingdom, making her stand [Pre-Chorus ] Caps and gowns can't hold her down She's got that thunder, she's got that sound [Chorus ] Ella Cunningham, breaking the mold Shredding those strings with a heart of gold Walking that stage with fire in her eyes This is her moment, her time to rise Ella Cunningham, loved and known Graduate queen on her heavy metal throne [Verse 2] She sketched it out in margins of her textbook pages Dreams too loud to fit inside their cages Amplifier hums when she plugs it in Six strings screaming where her truth begins Ripped denim masterpiece, safety pins and pride She wore what she made and never had to hide Senior year ending but she's just getting started Fearless and focused, lion-hearted [Pre-Chorus ] Caps and gowns can't hold her down She's got that thunder, she's got that sound [Chorus ] Ella Cunningham, breaking the mold Shredding those strings with a heart of gold Walking that stage with fire in her eyes This is her moment, her time to rise Ella Cunningham, loved and known Graduate queen on her heavy metal throne [Bridge ] They told her to follow, she carved her own road Turned up the volume, let the power explode Graduation's not the end, it's the spark to ignite Ella's just beginning her relentless fight Guitar solo screaming what words can't say This is her anthem, this is her day [Chorus ] Ella Cunningham, breaking the mold Shredding those strings with a heart of gold Walking that stage with fire in her eyes This is her moment, her time to rise Ella Cunningham, loved and known Graduate queen on her heavy metal throne [Outro ] Diploma in one hand, guitar in the other Original, unstoppable, there ain't no other Ella Cunningham, the world's gonna see The girl who designed her own destiny
