Everybody said, you better stay in school,
Get a real job, boy, don't be a fool,
Burn that guitar, you can never be a star,
I can, I can, I can, so

A thousand disbelievers couldn't keep me on the ground,
I've invented a momentum that'll never slow me down,
I believe it 'cause I feel it, and I shout it out loud,
I can, I can, I can, so

Everybody said, boy, don't go any higher,
Uh uh, f*ck that, I can do anything,
Never push the limit, and don't play with fire,
Uh uh, f*ck that, I can do anything,
Na na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Wear my heart on my fist take
You by surprise fighter,
Uh uh, f*ck that, I can do anything

(Ha ha ha okay, okay, okay)

Be a movie star or rock a main stage,
An Xbox tester, or an astronaut in space,
If they tell you that you can't,
You can shove it in their face,
I can, I can, I can, so

A hundred thousand disbelievers couldn't keep me on the ground,
I've invented a momentum that'll never slow me down,
I believe it 'cause I feel it, and I shout it out loud,
I can, I can, I can, so

Everybody said, boy, don't go any higher,
Uh uh, f*ck that, I can do anything,
Never push the limit, and don't play with fire,
Uh uh, f*ck that, I can do anything,
Na na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Wear my heart on my fist take
You by surprise fighter,
Uh uh, f*ck that, I can do anything

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I can do anything,
Never try, never win, never get a break,
You miss a hundred percent of the shots
You never take,
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Everybody said boy, don't go any higher,
Uh uh, f*ck that, I can do anything,
Never push the limit, and don't play with fire,
Uh uh, f*ck that, I can do anything,

Everybody said, boy, don't go any higher,
Uh uh, f*ck that, I can do anything,
Never push the limit, and don't play with fire,
Uh uh, f*ck that, I can do anything,
Na na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Wear my heart on my fist take
You by surprise fighter,
Uh uh, f*ck that, I can do anything
Na na na na na na na, na na na na na na

Everybody said, boy, don't go any higher,
Uh uh, f*ck that, I can do anything
