DYNAMIC RANGE=9
LYRICS=VERSE 1:\\
The things you call reality checks\\
To pull me down and try to win\\
Are nothing more than things you've said\\
For me to prove wrong in the end\\
\\
And I don't care what you have to say\\
If it doesn't matter anyway\\
\\
PRECHORUS 1:\\
So I'll just keep going forward and I know that\\
\\
CHORUS 1:\\
I don't need this\\
And you don't need to say\\
That the things I feel\\
Aren't worth even second place\\
\\
So I know that in the end\\
you'll realize \\
And I know that when I succeed\\
you'll open your eyes\\
\\
VERSE 2:\\
The way your smile speaks\\
Blares out loud that you're better than me\\
And every time I have to leave\\
I can tell you think you've won something\\
\\
But I don't care, even so,\\
Even if you think it's hopeless \\
 \\
PRECHORUS 2:\\
So I'll just keep going forward and I know that\\
\\
CHORUS 2:\\
I don't need this\\
And you don't need to say\\
That the things I feel\\
Aren't worth even second place\\
\\
So I know that in the end\\
you'll realize\\
And I know that when I succeed\\
you'll open your eyes\\
\\
BRIDGE:\\
I live by soaring\\
And even if you think you're helping\\
I can't fly when I know that I\\
am weighed down by a broken wing\\
\\
Even if you tell me that I'm wrong\\
I know that sometimes you have to fall\\
\\
CHORUS 3:\\
I don't need this\\
And you don't need to act\\
As if the things I think\\
Aren't worth a second glance\\
\\
And I know that in the end\\
you'll realize\\
I give my all and I know\\
that one day my dreams will be mine\\
\\
So I don't need this

This song is about Rainbow Dash's personal struggle with everyone doubting her dream of becoming a Wonderbolt, immediately dismissing her, saying she's too lazy or too unmotivated. They tell her ("helpfully") that she should quit and find a new, more reasonable dream.

But she doesn't need that.
