[Intro — Spoken] Yeah. Turn it up. No explanation. No apology. [Verse 1] Walk in, lights change Don't need permission for my own name New day, new frame Still the same me, just a different game I don't need to fit your picture I don't need to make it sweeter If my silence makes you wonder Then you better read between the features I heard what you said I know what you think But I don't build my identity On the edge of your opinion [Pre-Chorus] You want me smaller You want me quiet You want me waiting But I won't deny it I'm taking my space I'm setting the pace Look me in the eyes I'm not walking away [Chorus] No apology For being who I wanna be No apology You don't get to rewrite me No, I won't shrink No, I won't hide No, I won't change Just to fit your side Say what you want Think what you need I'm still standing Exactly like me No apology. No apology. [Rap 1] Look— Step in the room, let the bassline knock I don't need permission, I don't watch the clock Everybody got a comment, everybody got a take But I learned real quick which opinions I can break Too much? Maybe. Too loud? Crazy. Too different? Daily. Still me? Always. I don't chase validation I don't need decoration Built this reputation Without your invitation No borrowed style No borrowed face No running backwards Just picking up pace You wanted a version That stayed in your frame But I tore up the blueprint And signed my own name [Post-Rap] My name. My rules. My way. That's it. [Verse 2] I don't owe you perfection I don't owe you a reason Every version of myself Was another kind of freedom Let the rumors keep moving Let the whispers get louder I'm not losing my direction Just because you lost yours I don't need everybody Standing on my side Sometimes being honest Means standing alone tonight [Pre-Chorus] You want me smaller You want me quiet You want me waiting But I won't deny it I'm taking my space I'm setting the pace Look me in the eyes I'm not walking away [Chorus] No apology For being who I wanna be No apology You don't get to rewrite me No, I won't shrink No, I won't hide No, I won't change Just to fit your side Say what you want Think what you need I'm still standing Exactly like me No apology. No apology. [Rap 2 — Faster] Yeah, I came with a different blueprint No filter, no edit, no loose ends Talk cheap, but the proof speaks I don't need ten people to approve me One step, two step, watch me move New rules, new lane, nothing to prove If I fall, then I get back up If I lose, then I learn what's up I don't fold for the pressure I don't trade my expression I don't call it rebellion When it's simply self-protection Keep your labels, keep your boxes Keep your "you should" and your "why not?" Every time you try to limit me I turn the volume up another notch No pause No fear No mask No tears I'm not here to disappear I'm here to make it clear— I am not your expectation. I am my own creation. [Dance Break] No— No— No apology. Turn it up. Turn it up. Turn it up. [Bridge] Maybe you won't understand me Maybe you never will But I won't trade my freedom For somebody else's thrill I spent too long asking "Is this okay?" Now I look into the mirror And I know what I would say— Go. [Final Chorus] No apology For being who I wanna be No apology You don't get to rewrite me No, I won't shrink No, I won't hide No, I won't change Just to fit your side Say what you want Think what you need I'm still standing Exactly like me No apology. No apology. [Final Rap] No apology for the way I walk No apology for the way I talk No apology if I don't fit No apology, that's it I won't dim I won't bend I won't break Just to make amends New page New sound New rules Right now If you wanted me different— Too late. [Outro] No explanation. No hesitation. No permission. NO APOLOGY. Yeah. That's the whole statement.
