From the recording The Price Went Up
Lyrics
If they wanted to, they would. Simple as that. Stop making excuses for people who wouldn't even walk across the street for you.
I checked the mirror and I saw a queen
The most focused woman I’ve ever seen
I’m raising the bar, I’m locking the gate
I’m no longer leaving my worth up to fate
Not anymore
If it’s too much, then go find less
I’m not here to clean up your mental mess.
I’m the table, I’m the feast, I’m the light
I’m the one who’s winning the internal fight
No more discounts, no more buy one get one
The season of being your backup is done.
High standards, low access, that’s the deal
I’m becoming everything that’s real
If you can't meet me where the air is thin
Then you’re never, ever getting back in
The gate is closed
I’m the Prize, and the price just went up
You can't drink from my overflow cup.
I’d rather be alone in a room full of gold
Than be with a man whose heart is cold
I’m my own protector, I’m my own best friend
And this is where the people-pleasing ends!
Don't be mad at my standards. Be mad at your lack of them.
I am the Prize
Standardized
