Lyrics

Finally

[Intro]

Yo, yo!

This is a champion song, feel me?

Me and Brandy, we have rise'd to the occasion, come on!

Like this, talk to 'em, oh!

[Verse 1]

I could’ve stayed in that place too long

I would've made it okay for you to do me wrong

I would've played the role one more day

If I didn't hear my conscience say

[Pre-Chorus]

Stop, look around (Yeah, yeah)

Is this where you belong? (Oh, yeah)

Look at yourself

Are you weak? Are you strong? (Oh)

I realized that it's all up to me (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

To make myself happy

[Chorus]

Finally, I walked away (Yeah, yeah)

Never would've seen this day (Oh)

Givin' up on those things that hurt me

Made me who I am today (Oh)

Finally, I walked away (Finally)

Never would've seen this day (Yeah, yeah)

Givin' up on those things that hurt me

Made me who I am today

[Verse 2]

Looking back on my choices made

Thinking about the things I did to make you stay

I wonder sometimes why my love didn't turn to hate

But then, I hear the same little voice inside me say

[Pre-Chorus]

Stop, look around (Oh, look around)

Is this where you belong? (Is it where you belong?)

Look at yourself (Oh)

Are you weak? Are you strong? (Yeah)

I realized that it's all up to me (I realized it's all up to me)

To make myself happy (Oh, woo)

[Chorus]

Finally, I walked away (Walked away)

Never would've seen this day (Givin' up)

Givin' up on those things that hurt me (All the things that hurt me)

Made me who I am today (Oh, yeah)

Finally, I walked away (Yeah)

Never would've seen this day (Givin' up)

Givin' up on those things that hurt me

Made me who I am today

[Bridge]

Finally, I'm where I'm supposed to be

Finally, I'm where I'm supposed to be (Yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]

Finally, I walked away (I walked away)

Never would've seen this day (Never seen this day)

Givin' up on those things that hurt me (Givin' up those things, yeah)

Made me who I am today (Oh)

Finally, I walked away (Walked away)

Never would've seen this day (Never, never)

Givin' up on those things that hurt me (Oh, woo)

Made me who I am today

[Outro]

Oh

Oh, yeah

Yeah

Oh, yeah

Finally (Yeah), I'm where I'm supposed to be (Oh, yeah)

Finally (Yeah), I'm where I'm supposed to be (Oh, yeah)

Finally (Yeah), I'm where I'm supposed to be (Oh, yeah)

Finally, I'm where I'm supposed to be (Oh, yeah)

Finally (Yeah), I'm where I'm supposed to be (Oh, yeah)

Finally (Yeah), I'm where I'm supposed to be (Oh, yeah)
