"Watch me get a bunch of scholarships

and you only get nothing"

That is what you said to me.

You spit at me 

and laughed at me.

But I know you're going to eat your words.

I know I can be better.

I know I'm more 

than you expect of me.

I know I'm more

than you will ever be.

And boy you're gonna eat your words

What wakes me up in the morning?

The thought of seeing you years from now, 

knowing that I'll have made it. 

You're gonna cross paths with me years from now.

And maybe

just maybe

seeing me after so much time

it'll break your heart.

I know you're going to eat your words.

I will succeed

the way you told me

I never would.
