Barking Louder

Listen to this They told me wrong is wrong, no room for debate But I paint my own world, I decide my fate Opinions ain't facts, I see through their noise They don't like my style, too bad, my choice Thanks to those who told me"No", I have grown even more I got better and they stayed behind forever out the door They said, cover up, don't reach too high But I made my own blanket, stretched it up to the sky Turned shadows to gold, made the dream take flight They taught me to crawl, I learned how to bite They told me dreams are just dreams, don't aim so high But I stretched my sky, made the gold multiply They said, wait your turn, don't push too fast I cut the line, now I'm built to last I'm barking louder, hear my name Bark, bark, Barkylion Golden fire burning bright in the flame They tried to tame me, but I broke the chains No leash, no fear, just gold in my veins They said, wait your turn, I ran through the gates They said, dreams are dreams, now I hold my fate They said, fit right in, but I broke the mold Now I shine too bright, now my story's told They said, stay in your place, don't stand too tall Taught me to whisper, but I'm done being small Now I go to my own nest, my own design, no one else's style Riding through the storm in my own ride, I'm going the extra mile They said, don't brag, keep it low But they never had much So how would they know I work too hard, now I stand too proud I won't dim my shine I'll say it out loud They told me dreams are just dreams, don't aim so high But guess what? I stretched my sky Yeah, yeah Louder Louder Bark, bark, Barkylion No rescue, no hero, just me on my own Turned my pain into power, now I've fully grown No more hiding, no more fear I bark louder so the world can hear I speak my truth I claim my name I build my fire from their shame I'm barking louder, hear my name Bark, Barkylion Golden fire burning bright in the flame They try to tame me, but I broke the chains No leash, no fear, just gold in my veins Ain't wait your turn I ran through the gates They said, dreams are dreams, now I hold my faith They said, fit right in, but I broke the mold Now I shine too bright, now my story's told No more waiting, no more doubt I found my voice, I'm screaming out
