Lyrics
They said no when I told them that I'd find a way to get to the top
People initially rejected my ambition to reach the top.
They didn't know that eventually I'd be the one to worry about
Those individuals didn't anticipate that eventually, I'd become a concern or competition for them.
When someone would mention me, they always tried to say I would flop
When others spoke of me, they predicted my failure.
But this the sound of revenge
The song expresses a sense of seeking vengeance or proving others wrong.
Yea
Expresses affirmation or agreement.
On the path to find out who's true
I'm on a journey to discover who is genuinely loyal and trustworthy.
The only person you can really trust is you
Emphasizes self-reliance, indicating that the only person one can truly rely on is oneself.
And if you feel like you can't even trust you
When self-trust is lacking, there's an alternative—relying on oneself.
Then you can always trust you know who
Refers to relying on oneself, even in uncertain situations.
And if you don't know who you know who is
Expresses pity for those who don't recognize themselves.
Then I feel so sorry for you
Indicates that self-judgment is crucial as it's the most significant opinion that matters.
Cause that's really the only person that can judge you
Highlights how critics and naysayers try to limit one's potential.
Critics, people that wanna see you fail will tell you what you can't do
They dictate what one shouldn't, should, or must do, but when one is confident (has a glow), others' words don't affect them.
Shouldn't do and must do
Indicates the concept of revenge being perceived negatively historically.
But when you got that glow
At times, success might seem achieved through questionable means (sinning).
Nobody else's words can really budge you
References a potential violent outcome (gunshot) in contrast to what actually occurred.
Revenge has always been looked upon as a sin
Reflects on revenge traditionally being considered morally wrong.
And sometimes you feel like you had to sin to win
Success sometimes appears achieved by taking actions that seem morally questionable.
Sometime it sound like :gunshot:
Implies regret over missed opportunities (what could have been).
Is what it coulda been
When facing judgment after death, one's actions might be criticized.
When you get to the gates of Heaven they probably wouldn't let ya in
Changing the perspective turns sinning into a successful outcome in the end.
But ya change that meanin' up and success is what it is in the end
Instead of dwelling on past regrets, focus on moving forward.
And instead of worryin' about what shoulda, coulda, woulda been
Reiterates the importance of looking toward the future and progressing.
Ya turn your head toward the future and keep it movin'
Confirmation or seeking agreement about moving forward despite past setbacks.

Well say it again

If you're waitin' for me to fail, your time is runnin' out on that clock

I'm runnin' to the finish yea, when I get there I ain't gonna stop
Expresses determination to reach the goal without stopping upon achievement.
Success is what I couldn't have, but now I tell em look what I got
