Push Me
Rising Above: Cassie Marin's Empowering Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
I’m gonna put on my favorite shoes
I will wear my favorite shoes.
and forget who I am today
I will forget my identity for today.
just how I felt, wasn’t giving me grace
The way I felt previously lacked grace.
it’s my time to let it go
It's my time to release and move on.
it’s my time
This is my moment.
it’s my time cause I say so
I determine it's my time.
Who did you think I was gonna grow up to be?
Reflecting on who people expected me to become.
Somebody that was gonna let you
Someone who wouldn't allow others to...
Push me
Repetition of being pushed, expressing resistance.
Push me
-Push me
-Push me
-Down
Physically or metaphorically pushed down.
You try
An attempt is made.
But you won’t
Resistance prevails.
Push me down
No success in pushing down.
You try but you
Efforts to push down are futile.
Won’t push me down
Resistance remains.
You push me down
Acknowledgment of being pushed down.
You
I’m gonna play like I couldn’t lose
Playing as if there's no possibility of losing.
and close my eyes to the pain
Choosing to ignore the pain by closing eyes.
Turning up all my gain it’s never too late
Turning up gains despite challenges.
It’s your time to let it go
Encouraging someone else to let go.
It’s your time
It's their moment to shine.
It’s your time so we can go
Encouraging them to take control.
Let’s go
Who did you think I was gonna grow up to be?
Reflecting on expectations of personal growth.
Somebody that was gonna let you
Not allowing others to...
Push me
Repetition of resisting being pushed down.
Push me
-Push me
-Push me
-Down
The act of being pushed down.
You try
An attempt to push down.
But you won’t
Resistance persists.
Push me down
Failed attempt to push down.
You try but you
Resistance endures.
Won’t push me down
Unsuccessful effort to push down.
You push me down
Acknowledgment of being pushed down.
You
