Lyrics: Ivey Hadebe Music: Ivey Hadebe There’s no one like you Never was, never will be One of one, irreplaceable Don’t lose yourself trying to fit in Stand your ground, don’t move Even when the world pretends Be yourself, see it through Authenticity is everything Yeah, authenticity is everything I learned to survive, not say what I feel Wore borrowed faces just to make it seem real Trimmed my truth till it fit their mold Lost my own sound doing what I was told Every room asked who I should become So I bit my tongue, played dead, went numb Then one clear thought cut through the noise Like I finally heard my real voice There’s no one like you Never was, never will be One of one, irreplaceable Don’t lose yourself trying to fit in Stand your ground, don’t move Even when the world pretends Be yourself, see it through Authenticity is everything Yeah, authenticity is everything I watched big dreams shrink for applause Truth sold cheap just to soften the cause They said, “Play it safe, don’t do too much” But my soul won’t live on a shallow touch Cried in silence under flickered lights Learning how to be brave at night I stopped asking who I’m allowed to be Stopped waiting on proof I deserve to breathe There’s no one like you Never was, never will be One of one, irreplaceable Don’t lose yourself trying to fit in Stand your ground, don’t move Even when the world pretends Be yourself, see it through Authenticity is everything Yeah, authenticity is everything If they don’t clap, stand tall If they stay silent, still answer your call You don’t owe them a polished view The bravest thing you can do is be you Now I walk like my feet know the way Every scar sings what I survived to say I don’t need every door wide open Just one that feels like hope unbroken If this song finds you hiding too Hear this now it’s meant for you There’s no one like you Never was, never will be One of one, let them see You don’t bend, you don’t break Stand your ground, stay true Let your light break through Be yourself all the way through Authenticity is everything Yeah, authenticity is everything
