An empowering song to help you get through the day... Motivational lyrics with a little rap twisted into it.

Darby, I already enjoyed this song when you played it live at the CSA Finale Showcase, but I must say hearing this song as a recording really takes it to a whole new level. Great job! Thanks for sharing.

Darby - good song and great production. I love the rap in the middle. My only input would be that I felt the chorus should stand out a little more from the verses. Actually the last time you do the chorus is how I would have liked to have heard it all the way through the song.

Love it! Great recording Darby, where did you record this? One of the closest to radio ready recordings I’ve heard come out of Cbus. I do think you could use a few more vocal harmonies throughout the song, and I also was kind of waiting for you to do some overdubbing (recording over yourself) on the last chorus and really letting your voice shine the way I know it can. But I love this song, it’s just a great pop song that makes me happy. You rock girl, keep at it, you’re way ahead of the game. Follow your heart and do yo thang sweetie!

Just got an itunes giftcard, looks like I know what my first download is. smile I agree with JT, this sounds radio ready, which is not what I hear from most recordings done around here. You obviously have an ear for what is current. I’ve heard you play acoustically before and you’re very talented, but in this recording I can really hear who you are as an artist. great work.

This is awesome! Great songwriting, and killer vocals! I love your style. I agree about adding some more vocal harmonies and making the chorus stand out just a bit more. This is SO good though! Keep it up.

Sittin' in my bedroom
Lookin' outside of my window, thinkin' bout'
Every possibility that could start makin' me
Who I truly wanna be

They told me it wouldn't happen
Then i proved them wrong
Then they all started laughin'
So i wrote this song.

I made it
To the top, yeah
I made it
I won't stop
Till i see the faces in the crowd
Tellin' me that i made it (AAAYYYY!)
Lettin' me know i made it (AAAYYYY!)

All i see are lights so bright
Standing on this stage tonight
All these doors closed in my face
Make me wanna shout out and say...

I made it
To the top, yeah
I made it
I won't stop
Till i see the faces in the crowd
Tellin' me that i made it (AAAYYYY!)
Lettin' me know i made it (AAAYYYY!)

Haters are my motivators
Everyday and night
Testing me and trying everything that i am doin' right
I try to figure out where my life is headed
Makin' sure the old me is never deaded
My old fans are still right here by my side
Knowing that my life is a bumpy ride
If it wasn't for the small things in my life
Maybe then i wouldn't have...

I Made it
To the top, yeah
I made it
I won't stop
Till i see the faces in the crowd
Tellin' me that i made it (AAAYYYY!)
Lettin' me know I made it (AAAYYYY!)

I made it
To the top, yeah
I made it
I wont stop
Till i see the faces in the crowd
Tellin' me that i made it
Lettin' me know i made it
Tellin' me that i made it
