Lyrics
[Rival:]
So... what if they are right
And he’s so remarkable
How does that affect me?
Ever since I was a child
It all came so easy
I never had to try
If he’s as brilliant as they say
How will I be noticed
Now I’m not so special… anymore
I’m not sure why I’m afraid
No, he won’t beat me
Not without a fight, no!
One day I’ll show them I am the genius
One day the whole world will know
One day I’ll show them who he really is
One day they’ll know
